David Hobbs, 36, was collared early Monday morning as he allegedly tried to use a pipe to break into a shed at the rear of a residence in the city of Clarksdale. Hobbs was thwarted when an alarm alerted the homeowner to the attempted 3 AM burglary. The victim held Hobbs at gunpoint until police arrived. For some unknown reason, Hobbs was wearing a Captain America costume, complete with mask. His outfit also included fairy wings, apparently for a quick getaway. Hobbs, sans costume, is locked up in the Coahoma County jail on $25,000 bond. As seen above, Clarksdale cops photographed the handcuffed Hobbs while he sat on a bench in police headquarters. DearWebby's Tech Support Pits From: Darlene Re: Blacklist Dear Webby, My mail download has really slowed down. Gramma told me I should get rid of my blacklist, but couldn't give me any reason other than "Dear Webby said so!" What's the story with the blacklist? Darlene Dear Darlene. Gramma is right. The blacklist should either not be used at all, or very sparingly for very few select people, like ex spouses or stalkers. Don't use it for spammers, and make sure your filters don't automatically blacklist spam that they have caught. If spam has already been caught by a filter, there is absolutely no point in cluttering up the blacklist with it. If you are using MailWasher, you can age off spam in a day or for example three days. If there is no spam from an address in that period, then that address is weeded out. Except for forging your address as the sender, spammers usually don't use the same sender address twice. The blacklist won't help you there. It is best to either dump it, or age it off, and then just use it for stalkers and exes. Have FUN! DearWebby Automatically move ALL your settings and programs.

The wax ring is very easy to replace and will save you the nightmare of having to replace soggy subflooring down the road. thriftyfun.Com ____________________________________________________ | B-2 stealth bomber flies just 60 feet above impressed plane spotters' heads | ___________________________________________________ A painter, whitewashing the inner walls of a country outhouse, had the misfortune to fall through the opening and land in the muck at the bottom. He shouted, "Fire! Fire! Fire!" at the top of his lungs. The local fire department responded with alacrity, sirens blaring as they approached the privy. "Where's the fire?" called the chief. "No fire," replied the painter as they pulled him out of the hole. "But if I had yelled about what is down here, would you have rescued me?" ___________________________________________________ While carpenters were working outside the old house a woman had just bought, she busied myself with indoor cleaning. She had just finished washing the floor when one of the workmen asked to use the bathroom. With dismay she looked from his muddy boots to her newly scrubbed floors. "Just a minute," She said, thinking of a quick solution. "I'll put down some newspapers." "That's all right, lady," he responded. "I'm already house trained." ___________________________________________________ Joe sets Jim up to go on a blind date with a friend of his. But Jim is a little worried about going out with someone he's never seen before. "What do I do if she's ugly and scary?" says Jim, "I'll be stuck with her all night." "Don't worry," Joe says, "just go up to her door and meet her first. If you like what you see, then everything goes as planned. If you don't just shout 'Aaaaaauuuggghhh!' and fake an asthma attack." So that night, Jim knocks at the girl's door and when she comes out he is awe-struck at how beautiful and sexy she is. He's about to speak when the girl suddenly shouts: "Aaaaaauuuggghhh!" __________________________________________________ Ophelia Dingbatter's NewsNo sermon and not suitable for church, just jokes and fun for grownups.
