The family that plays together...
No. I just can't. These chicks need help.

Why did they need to identify her as a "former homecoming queen"? That was ancient history. The woman is 41, and judging from the photo I doubt anyone is coming up to her on the street and saying "Say, weren't you a homecoming queen 20-odd years ago?"
If I'm in my 40's and ever beat someone with their own prosthetic leg I hope the headline reads "Ex-High School Newspaper Editor..." etc

this is so funny.
if i had a prosthetic leg that would be my biggest concern, someone ripping it off and beating me with it.
as it is, i worry about the limbs i have.
are you sure this isnt about paul mccartney and heather mills?
cuz she has it coming!

'Homecoming queen', 'prosthetic leg', 'trailer', and 'rehab' in the same sentence. Outstanding.
How often can you do that?

Almost as good as a story I once wrote about a former Dairy Princess strangling a woman for stealing her farmer boyfriend. Happened in Wisconsin, of course.

To quote Stewie Griffin, this is "so delightfully white trash!"

Sorry, but if this comes to court she doesn't have a leg to stand on.

Poor Jim. Did you have to interview anyone? If so, how did you keep a straight face? I know I couldn't.

Regarding Paul McCartney. He was recently asked if after his bitter divorce he'll ever go down on one knee again, to which he replied, "I prefer you call her Heather."

How did this line get stuck as a caption in the "related photos" section? Click her mugshot, then make sure captions are on for the slide show.
"... DUI convictions in 1991. In one... she was so drunk she smeared feces in a police car."
I assume they said she was shit-faced...

She'd better hope her lawyer settles for just an arm.
Jim, that Dairy Princess thing happened 3 miles from my house.
It was funny.

"Everybody run, the homecoming queen's got a prosthetic leg" just doesn't have the same ring to it.

Yeah the old "I've stolen your phone and I will burn your house down if you testify against me" routine. That works just as well as "Go back to dating me or I'll kill you".
Okay, funny story, obliquely connected:
About twenty years ago, I had a coworker (Chris) who was gay, and also had a full-length prosthetic leg (motorcycle accident in high school). He was out with friends at a jazz club in Columbus Ohio, when he apparently did something to irritate a cowboy type sitting at the bar (only God knows why he was in a jazz club). The cowboy commenced to pushing Chris around, taunting him, then finally knocked Chris to the ground. In one motion, Chris jumped up, popped off his leg, and pulled it shoe first from his pants leg. He swung the leg over his head, and shouted "Go ahead! Hit the queer boy with the wooden leg!"
The cowboy fainted. Hit his head on the bar. Other patrons carried him out and deposited him on the sidewalk. Chris went back into the restroom and reattached his leg, and got a standing ovation from the crowd when he came back in.
I have no idea whether or not Chris was a former homecoming queen.

jumping into the limerick arena:
A homecoming queen sucking dregs
Unsober, began pulling legs
She swung one about
Gave her sibling a clout
Now a bruised sister's shopping for pegs.

kevy: AHRRRRGH!
By the way, this could have been worse -- she might have ripped off her sister's real leg and beat her with it.

"The police, they call for backup when they come up here to deal with her," said another neighbor, who asked not to be identified. "They know who she is."
Wow, too funny.
She grabbed her sister's leg right our from under her?
My sister would have died for something like that.

I think this is the same reason Paul McCartney got a divorce.
