Tim Lincecum's (Alleged) Dealer

Tim Lincecum's alleged dealer Teddy Halas is hoping the justice system comes through for him. He plans to upgrade his tattoo from Sharpie to real ink.

San Francisco—Nineteen year-old UC Berkely dropout Teddy Halas filed a lawsuit in San Francisco Superior court yesterday against San Francisco Giants pitcher Tim Lincecum seeking $350,000.00 over money he said the two-time Cy Young Award winner owes him for marijuana purchases made earlier this year.

So then we read a few days ago that “Netflix” has decided to go back to whatever it was they did before they made people mad, and now people love them again.

Well, after we did some research, we see that this “Netflix” has something to do with mailing Digital Video Discs to people so they can watch motion pictures and television programs at home on their Digital Video Disc machines. That’s not a bad idea. It would have been nice if we had thought of that. Continue reading →
