People can be forgiven, waking up the morning after the night before with someone in bed next to them, they normally wouldn't have touched with a barge pole if it weren't for beer goggles, However on man woke up with something rather more slippery than a dodgy shag, a 10ft Python! To make matters worse when he awoke the snake was making eyes to eat his mate, who was asleep on the sofa.
During a very drunken night out, Dwayne Matthews, decided in his infinite wisdom to buy an African rock python – called Bruce off a traveller, as you do. Unfortunately the next morning the python was looking for its next meal, which happened to be Matthews's mate who was sound asleep. Luckily Matthews managed to throw a duvet over the python to subdue it.
Now that's one snake most people wouldn't want to wake up to.
African Rock snakes are the third largest in the world and they suffocate their victims in their coils before they swallow them hole, nice. Normally they go after large animals such as crocodiles or antelope; however a sleeping human would be considered an easy meal for one.
When Matthews subdued the snake, instead of calling the relevant authorities, he tried to sell the snake to a reptile shop. Unfortunately for Matthews, the reptile shop owner had been made aware of a local theft of snakes from a house so informed the police. After nearly seeing his mate swallowed by a snake, Dwayne was handed a suspended eight-week prison sentence after he had admitted handling stolen goods.
Speaking about the somewhat foolish events Dwayne's Solicitor Richard Baker said:
"In his wisdom, and no doubt egged on by his inebriated friends, he decided it would be a good idea to buy it and sell it. The next morning he realised it hadn't been such a good idea. He got up to find one of his friends asleep on the sofa and this snake rearing up at him in an S-shape, its jaws open like a cobra. Instead of running out of the house, as some would have done, and leaving his friend to his fate, he apprehended this snake. He ran upstairs, got a quilt and threw it over the snake to subdue it and put it in a tank. It was like a sub-plot from a Guy Ritchie film. He didn't decide to get rid of it by dumping it in a bin, he was doing the best he could to remedy the situation."
Swayne had to pay £85 costs and an £80 victim surcharge. The Magistrate described the incident: "This was a bit of a foolhardy enterprise."

I believe in do unto others as you would have done unto you, and I know even if it was just for fun it would secretly bother me a little. But as long as she isn't meeting other people and such I would say it's harmless it's nice to be told you look pretty once in awhile you know? I guess to know you're still desireable by other people besides your mate. I think you should be fine though.
Desiring constant reassurance from other guys, when your already with one only goes to show you have; low self esteem, and have no self confidence.
I guess the whole confidence thing is a factor, I'm not sure some people like extra attention no matter what you do, I tell my man he hot all the time but he says he doesn't get it and I guess that doesn't make sense all the same I think it's just harmless fun, if not unhealthy.

Not yet...
Although I suppose they were as close as they could be yesterday, exchanging medical information on players and something turned up on one of the Rangers pitchers that caused the Cubs to squeeze the brakes. Names have been flying around, but Neil Ramirez, C.J. Edwards and Mike Olt seem to be the hottest names of late. Jeff Passan says the Rangers also showed interest in James Russell, although no one knows if he was part of what sounded like a 6-player deal...although once again, no one knows for sure.
Rumors be the teams will continue today to try and find a fit and that nothing in Garza's medical dossier caused a panic for the Rangers.

This is all speculation on my part, but I think they moved him up to AA to expose him. It looks like he had learned to overcome his weaknesses at high-A so they wanted to show him that his approach wouldn't work at higher levels.

HE said that the TheoJed group are remarkably patient and if they don't feel that they are getting the best deal for the Club, they will simply just make a qualifying offer and do this "all again next year".
It seems like this group may at least have a hint at knowing what they are doing? Or - maybe not. I am really curious what they saw in the Ranger's medicals...
So what is the deal with this new collective bargaining thing exactly?
I recall that should they lost the player, they would receive a n extra draft pick based on their record, ala the Pirates not signing Appel this year.

I should be able to watch the game on the NFL replay app, whatever that thing is called. I've got it on my iPad. This is the first year I haven't forced myself to somehow watch every game - no I take that back, last year was - in quite some time. Last year was so unbearable, no pun intended.
You make some good points about Cutler, and I was a holdout defender of Cutler for a long time. I gave up on him a bit after one too many dumb interceptions, but last year doesn't count. Trestman was the worst coach in Bears history.
Nice little reportage there!. I think you're older than me. Considerably older. Maybe several generations. Working out is so essential, especially as age kicks in, isn't it? I still lift weights, and so I'm confident that when I get to be at the hip breaking age, mine won't be a statistic. But I have a ways to go for that to be a concern.
What was impressive to me is that the Cubs won despite poor base running, several defensive miscues, Russell leaving due to injury, Arrieta having an off game and getting knocked out early, and Rondon giving up 2 runs in the 9th. If they can win a game like that...
I was there too. The crowd was absolutely electric. People were standing for every big and semi-big moment, from the first inning on. It felt incredibly strange and exhilarating to see the Cubs (the Chicago bleepin' Cubs!) score playoff insurance runs on the Cardinals. What a game. One to remember.
14 in attendance. What's the record for attendance in the fall? I guess I should ask what the record attendance listed is in one of your recaps.
I was there too, with my grown son. This is my miracle year-- I rose to the top of the season ticket list after eight years, completely unexpectedly, and my wonderful wife agreed to put the ticket fee on the emergency credit card. The whole point of course was that the Cubs were going to be good this year, and then for a while, so to get season tickets with the guaranteed shot at the postseason was incredible timing. We got to the remote lot at 4:10 after stopping at Nhu Lan for our usual banh mi sandwiches, only to find the lot full, way earlier than normal.
Wrigley was electric tonite
Not many card fans
Video board was great, they played "there goes my hero" by foos over ryno highlights before he came out. Spectacular
Good times hopefully they win tomorrow but think Lester will beat poopy pants on Wednesday.
Happy 4th anniversary of Theo's signing
Go Cubs !
Yeah. "Goodbye!" is a lame HR call.
I miss Len and JD -- although, driving home from a friend's, WBBM played all 6 HR calls in a row -- and Len got to call the Bryant/Rizzo back-to-back. Very fun.
Lackey has been a beast against us. His stats on 3 days rest, however, not as nice. There is plenty of hope.
And, no dreadlocks grown yet.
Captain Obvious Strikes Again!!!
Amen, brother.
In the wild card game he mentioned that aram started with the Pirates, then played for the Brewers, and now he's back with the Pirates. Uhhhh, missed a step there, guy.
i like ron darling the person, the interview, and the studio desk guy...but him calling a game can lead to some really stupid stuff coming out of his mouth.
If you think these announcers are bad ,the ones doing the Mets vs Dodgers (Ron Darling ,Cal Ripken and someone else)
are worse they did the wildcard game I never knew Joe Jackson and Derrick Fowler played for the Cubs this year you
would think there would be research by them.

By Michael Kuchwara, AP Drama Writer
NEW YORK For the first time in 75 years, Broadway will get another look at a nearly forgotten comedy from the 1930s, Samson Raphaelson's Accent on Youth. Manhattan Theatre Club will revive the play next spring, with David Hyde Pierce in the starring role.
The comedy, first seen in New York in 1934, concerns successful playwright Stephen Gaye (Pierce) who finds inspiration in his young secretary, a young woman who apparently also inspires the young leading man in Gaye's latest production. Daniel Sullivan directs.
"It's a play I've admired for some time," says Sullivan, who has read but never seen a production of Accent on Youth or its 1935 film version, which starred Herbert Marshall.
CITY GUIDE: New York nightlife and entertainment
"I don't think there is anything antique about the play," he says. "I think it takes some chances in talking about a relationship between a middle-aged man and a younger woman. Dramatically, it also takes chances. The narrative sort of leaps forward in an unusual and unexpected way. I find the play surprising and not at all a generic piece. In a way, it rivals, for me, the sophistication of a lot of British plays, like the plays of Noel Coward."
The idea of casting Pierce, a 2007 Tony winner for his performance in Curtains, "just sort of popped into my head," Sullivan says. Additional casting and specific performance dates will be announced.
Raphaelson, who died in 1983, is primarily known today as a screenwriter, particularly for his association with director Ernst Lubitsch for whom he wrote such films as Trouble in Paradise, The Shop Around the Corner and Heaven Can Wait.
