Happy scalpers and an angry raccoon

OMFG!!!!11! Work is slow enough to allow me to do a timely Monday post!

Scalpers at George Washington University are in it for love of the job, not monetary gain.

"There's no profit in it," said WG, one of the two scalpers who would not give his full name, for fear of arrest for scalping - a crime in the District. "This place almost never sells out and tickets are only 12 bucks."

"We just do this for fun," said WG, who is currently attending nursing school. "It's just something to do. Sometimes we'll do this and then go to the games."


If only we all had jobs like that. But some say that because the Colonials currently suck, scalping tickets to sucky games just doesn't bring them in anymore.

Ron Schneeberger, a frequenter of men's basketball games, said there used to be a lot more scalpers in past years.

"When we had winning seasons and many people came to the games, we used to see many scalpers out here," Schneeberger said. "But this year I've only seen two or three at games."


Next up, pissed off raccoon dislocates Pat Summitt's shoulder.

I momentarily lost it," Summitt told WBIR-TV in Knoxville. "The raccoon was about to attack... fortunately nothing happened but a dislocated shoulder..."

"When I realized what could have happened, it almost brought me to tears," she said. "It wasn't very smart on my part."


Yeah, those Tennessee raccoons are tough. You could have almost been knocked the fuck out.


Oh, I don't want just a piece of you, Pat. I want the whole thing!!!

Oh yeah, Bruce Pearl loves Erin Andrews. A lot. (HT: NCAA BB FanHouse)
