10. Sharon Tirabassi

In 2004 Sharon won around 10 million Canadian dollars (about 48 million TTD) in an Ontario lottery. Mrs. Tirabassi made it rain on a “big house, fancy cars, designer clothes, lavish parties, exotic trips, handouts to family and loans to friends.” Less than a decade later she’s back riding the bus, working part-time, and trying to pay her rent.

9. Evelyn Adams

Against all odds, in the mid-1980′s Adams won the lottery twice, once in 1985
and again in 1986. The New Jersey native won a cool $5.4 million USD, but it alleged that she gambled it all away in Atlantic City.

Today she resides in a trailer park.

8. Michael Carroll

Michael Carroll was at his peak when he won Britain’s £9.7 million($90 million TTD). However, a love for life in the fast lane — cocaine, parties, hookers, and cars — put him back at square one in five years. Last reports were that the ex-garbage man was trying to get his old job back.

7. Andrew Jackson Whittaker Jr.

In 2002, West Virginia building contractor Andrew Jackson Whittaker Jr. walked away with $114 million after taxes on a $315 Million multi-state Power ball draw!!! However,that was just about his last stroke of good fortune.

In two separate instances, thieves ran off with $745,000 Whittaker stashed in his car. Later on, he was sued by Caesar’s Atlantic City for allegedly bouncing $1.5 million in checks.

Amazingly within four years, his fortune was gone.

6. Willie Hurt

Willie won a $3.1 million jackpot in the Michigan Lottery.

Fast-forward two years later and Hurt got divorced, lost custody of his children, was charged with attempted murder, and became a crack head.

The habit was so bad that it sucked away the rest of his entire winnings.

5. Denise Rossi

When Denise Rossi won $1.3 million in the California lotto, she left her husband without a word. Her husband, Thomas, knew something was up, but agreed to divorce her anyway. Two years later, he intercepted a letter at his new L.A. pad revealing the truth.

He sued Denise for not disclosing her winnings in the divorce, and the judge awarded Thomas every cent.

4. Janite lee

After winning an $18 million lottery jackpot in 1993 (almost Ah hundred and twenty million TTD), Janite Lee’s earnings were gone within a decade.

The St. Louis Post Dispatch reports Lee, a wig maker from South Korea, blew her winnings on charity.

A reading room was named after her at Washington University’s law school, and she was a big time donor for the Democratic Party.

But her giving hand, coupled with a little gambling addiction helped drain her accounts.

3. Luke Pittard

Welsh-born Luke Pittard won a £1.3 million jackpot in 2006, but spent it all on a trip to the Canary Islands, a wedding and a house.

A year and a half later, Pittard was forced to take a job at McDonald’s flipping burgers.

He says he’s happy, and at least was able to salvage some of his leftover winnings, which are collecting interest.

2. Callie Rogers

Teen mom Callie Rogers was too young, or too dumb to spend her money wisely. Callie Rogers was just 16 when she won £1.9 in the U.K.’s lottery (about 18 million TTD) in 2003; too young to know how to manage her money or where it would lead her.
Rogers hooked up with a guy, had two children, then blew the rest on partying, vacations and gifts for her friends.

Now Rogers works as a cleaning woman and is reportedly facing bankruptcy.

1. Gerald Muswagon

In 1998, Gerald Muswagon won the $10 million Super 7 jackpot (almost 50 million TTD) in Canada. In 7 years he partied and drank away every cent. WTF!

Filled with remorse, Muswagon hanged himself in his parents’ garage in 2005.

“Hush yuh stink mouth!!!”

It shows what the TnT public has known for a long time, that apparently all decorum in parliament is gone, just like $4 doubles, just like the money in the treasury-gone. Shame on you Dr Roodal Moonilal, learn some composure and class, if that’s possible.
You and the AG are not in the street.

His mouth may or may not need a tic-tac, but your behavior definitely needs a tube of Colgate Extra, a bottle of Listerine and $20 worth of Diana Power mints.

And fuh that you deserve the longest hashtag ever…#shakingmydisappointedheadatthelevelofdisrespectshownbyourleaders

Firstly, a piper hustles and is always trapping, even if this hustling and trapping is done on the lowest rung of the hustle-trap scale. A piper is not as eat-his-own-shit crazy as a vagrant. Forget paying for a gym membership and buying all that whey protein and suppliments–Pipers are ripped AF, and can carry up to ten times their body weight on their heads and push/pull twenty times their body weight on a trolly or grocery cart–ROLLER BLADING.

Pipers are comedians and entertainers, especially when drunk or high: plus pipers are always drunk or high–except on Sundays. Pipers are expert escape artists and wall/ tree/ building/ barbwire fence climbers and can fit through spaces tighter than two fat girls in a swift. A piper’s immune system is 5X stronger than the average human being–Pipers don’t get sick, they just die. Pipers are impervious to being hit by big stones and glass bottles, but a rock of crack will bring them to their knees faster than Kamla’s concession speech. It is impossible to out run or catch a piper. Without pipers our drains, rivers and oceans would be overflowing with glass bottles. Pipers are expert car washers, yard cleaners and cobo catchers. They are also expert dog whisperers, specializing in Pothounds.

However, it is important to rember that a piper is just one missed shower, one missed meal, or one missed visit to the mad house away from being a vagrant.

So we’ve been seeing everywhere the topic of Fcuk Boys. Some people are asking what is a Fcuk Boy, some are asking how to spot one and then there are those who have clearly come into contact with one/many and regularly post memes talking about stay away from the likes of them.

It got us to thinking. Who does the onus lay on? The Fcuk Boy or the Fcukee? The more we thought about it, the more we actually kinda side with these Fcuk Boys.

Okay let’s start with the general definition of a Fcuk Boy. According to John Say and Jane Hear, a Fcuk Boy is

Now we have our top 5 reasons we think you, the Fcukee, are to blame:

Fcuk Boys do not become Fcuk Boys overnight.

Too often we see females complaining about Fcuk boys when he was always a Fcuk boy to begin with. You didn’t even notice you were attracted to him in the first place because he was a Fcuk boy. You didn’t know much about him, you hardly see him out with a girl, he looks cute, dresses nice, smells nice, always looks like he’s having fun, and probably approached you when you glanced at him that 3rd time.

Do your research sweetheart. Look at his friends, look at his photos, ask around about him. Too many times females don’t want to come across as a crazy person so they rock back and swallow whatever he offers. You start bad.

He’ll never have a girlfriend

So you took our advice and you asked around about him. You hear talk that Melissa is his ‘ting.’ What kinda ‘ting’ is that you wonder. You put on your big girl panties and you ask him. Immediately he laughs and asks a few questions of his own:

Where you hear that girl

I’m not ready to settle down so doh study that.

…or he won’t reply for a few hours and tada! Topic change.

You ignore alllllll of that and say okay, makes sense. And continue thinking hmmm, I’m going to be the girl that changes his mind. No. Never. Stop.

ALL of his friends are Fcuk Boys

You asked about him and you even did a stalk on Instagram. You now have a pretty decent grasp of who he is, where he limes and most importantly, who his friends are. Most people hate the saying ‘Birds of a feather flock together’ but with regards to the Philosophy of Fcukism…This is 99.9% true.

If he tells you differently, do not be mad that you bought the dream.

He’s either asked for a nude or sent a d!ck pic

You’ve ignored the warning signs thus far so here you are talking on Whats App, sending Snaps, liking pics on Instagram. You’re sure he’s not like what everyone is saying but then one night you’re both awake late and he asks ‘what u up to?’ You tell him, ‘nun much. Just in bed.’ He follows up with that smiling purple devil emoji….Just stop. Put your phone on silent. Take some time. If you’ve EVER received that emoji from someone who’s not your man, you are involved with a Fcuk Boy. Sorry. If you’re unlucky enough, he’ll just send you a dick pic to get straight to the point (this is more common than you think people.) If you actually believe that you’re not with a Fcuk Boy, still believe he’s boyfriend material and you go ahead and send him that naked picture. You, my friend, are stupid.

He wants to come check you after 11 p.m.

There’s traditional ways of going after someone and then there’s just the straight up, I want to Fcuk so let me try my luck. These boys will probably talk to you, find out what you studied, what you like to do, what you like to eat for approximately 1-3 weeks. Then he will ask you to lime. “Just me and you. Ain’t see you out in a while. Missing U.” Unless you’re single and also on the same fcuk and leave scene, be aware. He is feeling you out to gauge how serious you are about giving up the nans. If you’re not entertaining the vice talk, the kiss advance or any kind of touching, you’re probably not going to get a follow up message saying sweet dreams.

If you need to be serviced from time to time, let him know. We promise you, men would love if you cut to the chase

So although we’ve given ladies some tips on how to spot a fcuk boy and how you’re to blame if you catch feelings THEN realise he’s one, there are some out there that are extremely patient. They see you’re playing hard to get and they have no issue whatsoever waiting for you to come around because every fcuk boy has backup (s).

If you’re looking for a man, be aware of the Fcuk boy. Stop being a naive ditz. Put in the effort you actually deserve for yourself. Stop letting Fcuk Boys mind fcuk you. In our opinion, Fcuk Boys get away with being Fcuk Boys because females do not communicate what they actually want OR pretend they’re satisfied with what is being offered.

If you’re NOT looking for a man, a Fcuk Boy is the perfect thing for you. Be secure in your sexuality and be straight forward with him. Then you won’t be susceptible to getting….Fcuked Up.

Some Key Points

On-the-Job (OJT) trainees to get a 20 per cent increase in stipends effective January 2016. Bout f%cking time. Years now D youths them scruntin. lol.

They plan to remove all D traffic lights from Town tuh Grande, and constructing roundabouts and other infrastructure in POS and Chaguanas.

Imbert: We will reintroduce the rent to own home ownership plan. Hmmm.

A National Health Insurance system will be in place soon. How soon is soon tho? Trini soon? Or Oxford dictionary soon?

A free national public wireless network beginning with free wifi hotspots. Eyyy! We GT boi! Free Wifi Dawg!!!

By 2021, at least 10 per cent of energy must be from renewable sources.

“Free drivers’ permits and free passports to retirees over the age of 60. Granny yuh GT!

“Personal allowance increased from 60,000 annually to 72,000. Value Added Tax (VAT) reduced from 15 per cent to 12.5 per cent.” And yadda yadda yadda.

Good stuff. Good stuff.

Mr. Imbert also explained that the previous government had maxed out our overdraft. And We were running on fumes. Whether these fumes were ganja fumes, he did not specify.

Closing off, Mr. Imbert said, “I could have easily resorted to bacchanal. But the time for that is long gone. The majority of the population is exhausted by the political mamaguy.” Hmmm

The alleged shooter is 26 year old Chris Harper. Boylan, whose daughter survived the shooting, told US television network CNN that his daughter described to him how the gunman asked his victims to state their religion before shooting them.

“‘Are you a Christian?’ he would ask them, ‘and if you are a Christian stand up,’” the father recalled.

The gunman then told the victims: “because you’re a Christian you’re going to see God in just about one second”.

The shooting has left 10 people dead and 7 injured. Speaking on the shooting yesterday President Obama said, “We are the only advanced country on Earth that sees these kinds of mass shootings every few months.” A sad truth indeed.

Gun control is popular but getting less so ]]> http://166.78.7.22/united-guns-of-america/feed/ 0 http://166.78.7.22/bake-macajuel/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=bake-macajuel http://166.78.7.22/bake-macajuel/#comments Thu, 01 Oct 2015 21:26:50 +0000 http://thescorch.com/?p=6129 Talk bout wild meat! This 27 year old man can’t because he busy knamming down macajuel.  Police arrested and charged the Rio Claro man for having two dead boa constrictor skins. When questioned further the man told the police he had already eaten one sssssssss-snake, and that he planned to eat the other.

The arrest happened a day before the two year band on hunting (Wednesday Night) was lifted. Constables Naim Mohammed and Vishal Rampersad from the Rio Claro CID conducted a sting operation pretending to be customers interested in purchasing the snake. Both officers met the gardner near his home at Cunapo, Southern Main Road, Rio Claro where he had  a crocus bag with the remains of one macajuel and the skin of another macajuel in the same bag. These snakes are protected under the Wildlife Conservation Act.  The skins of the two snakes were approximately 3.7 meters in length. Police said the man admitted he got the snakes from someone and was using it for his personal consumption.   The man also said the snake “Tasted like shark”.

That 130,000 pounds represents only what was seized and is no where near the total amount. 130, 000 pounds is what Charlie Sheen feeds his goldfish. That total seized by the United States CBP is muy muy muy pequeño, just tha tip of the iceberg. The Caribbean’s strategic location–especially Trinidad which is practically a broken puzzle piece off of Venezuela–makes it the ideal middleman between the producers in South America and the consumers in North America and Europe.

The Narco business is big mula. And when big mula is messed with there is an increase in the murder rate. We in the Caribbean are the gateway and the gate keepers to the flow of drugs. If this flow of drugs was regulated and legalized, it would be more transparent and a lot of the players, mainly the corrupted authorities who strike underhand deals and profit from the trade remaining illegal, would be held accountable…just food for thought.
