Those Weathermen Sure Can Party
You know who the craziest person is at any television station? The weatherman. I don't really include women in that because when I have met women who do the weather on television they seem to be the "face" of the station so tend to be more reserved then their male counterparts. The men? It is like they find people who have a need to stand out from the weathermen on other stations. They usually drive the most expensive cars and want to feel like a part of the news team. Ironically, it is weathermen who usually make the most side money so you would not think they would need to have that overcompensation thing going on all the time but they do.
Case in point. Arkansas. Police there are investigating the death of a man who was found naked in an unfilled hot tub with a local television weatherman sleeping right next to him. The owner of the house where this happened says that he, the weatherman and the dead man had been drinking and doing drugs all night and he woke up and heard the weatherman snoring and saw the naked guy was dead so he called the police.
Oh, to make things more interesting, the naked guy had a dog collar around his neck. The television station has given the weatherman some time off. Yeah. I think that might be permanent.
You know...these things happen.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if dead was getting off by asphyxiation.
ReplyDeleteI meant the dead guy.
ReplyDeleteYou wake up in a hot tub sitting next to a dead naked guy with a collar around his neck and I would imagine that the festivities of the last evening probably would now seem like a pretty bad idea!
ReplyDeleteNone of this makes sense. Isn't it dangerous to stay in a hot tub for a long period of time? Not even talking about the water, but the temp of the water.
ReplyDeleteI understand drugs were involved but still, shocked both didn't die.
Also, if it was full of water, how was there a ring of blood at the bottom?
Ugh, done over thinking it. RIP dog collar guy. What a way to go
They also found blood in the bottom of the hot tub......
ReplyDeletelol I know this isn't funny, but whatdoItypehere?'s comment really made me laugh.
ReplyDeleteLOL Not saying that he is but what is up with male weathermen being into kinky gay sex?? Well I know several in NYC who are notorious in bondage circles here in NYC.
ReplyDelete@Suhyphen - it says they were found in an unfilled hot tub.
ReplyDeleteThe bathtub was empty. That must have been some wild night. @ Rocket Queen - I kind of laughed a little too. Just picturing the whole scene for the other guy. It had to be one WTF? moment.
ReplyDeleteYikes Cathy, that makes it even MORE weird. I mean what in the hell do you do in an unfilled hot tub??
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info, I missed that part.
That's just...I can't
Oooh MontanaMarriott, do tell :)
ReplyDeleteOne of our local weathermen almost died from a heroin overdose. They let him go to rehab and keep his job, but ended up firing him after an almost naked picture of him showed up on myspace.
ReplyDeleteIts hard to beat Richard Quest of CNN, who was arrested in Central Park with a rope tied around his penis and his neck, and some sort of pharmaceutical in his pocket. He's not a weatherman, thought.
ReplyDeleteI think he took some "time off" and then resumed his career as if nothing had happened. It's not the kind of thing people forget.
Before a certain NYC weatherman landed his GMA gig it was well known that he was a fisting bottom and preferred his doms to be of the darker persuasion.
ReplyDeleteEnty did you read about the Philly weather guy John Bolaris and the mess he got into in Miami? Roofied two times and taken for $45k. Kinda funny story.
ReplyDeleteWeird stuff, so embaressing when that happens.
ReplyDeleteSo am I blind, I don't see a mention of blood, is that from another site?
That was one hell of a way to go out, I assume.
ReplyDeleteBob Richards was the weatherman on KSDK in St. Louis until he committed suicide by flying his plane into the ground in 1994. He was screwing around on his wife, and it became pretty well known. He wore a pager or cell phone (I don't recall if cell phones were even around back then) set to vibrate. Said mistress would page him over and over during the weather report...Let's just say he could frequently be seen pointing to the map with no hands needed. Most people at the station hated him, even the sports guy who had to act on air like they were good friends.
ReplyDeleteI laughed at the whole story. Couldn't help it. Am going to hell.
ReplyDeleteGolden showers don't require water in the bathtub.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what it is about weatherpeople? The local L.A. guy (Garth) is a pain in the butt. He always pinged my dar until he mentioned recently that he got married (to a woman).
ReplyDeleteGMA's Sam is too pretty for the ladies, right Montana?
Yeah, I'm with Jeri... Where is the blood at the bottom info???
