Round 1
Check your gardens, Tennessee, cause Knoxville PD may have snagged one of your gnomes over the weekend.
*pop up gnome sound effect*
Ya see Thursday night 36-year-old Anthony Coffey took the THP on a multi-county chase in a stolen truck and actually got away.
Escaping in general is impressive, but what I find even more amazing is that he did it while barely able to touch the pedals
THP's wanted poster says he's only 5 foot tall, and people in the comments were CRACK-IN UP
And much like a gnome his face is painted too, only instead of rosy red blush, he had BEWARE scribbled across his cheeks
Beware of what Ankle Biters?
The long arm of the law finally caught up to him in Knoxville Saturday and Coffey attempted to flee on foot
But when your legs are that short, ya dont win many footraces
In the end he was put in timeout in the back of a cruiser and I have to say, this is the first time I've seen someone with room to stretch their legs back there.
40 charges is a TALL order for a little guy. Hope they give him a step stool.
Round 2
Have you ever see the giant Rock on UT's campus? Youd remember if you had.
It was dug up 60 years ago but now it's basically the campus billboard and over the weekend it saw more action than most of the dorm rooms.
If you dont follow College sports Kentucky played the big Orange over the weekend in a rivalry that dates back over 100 years.
Before the game "bring back the barrel" was written on the rock, a reference to an old tradition started during Prohibition
Friday night, Kentucky fans snuck in and painted the entire 98 ton rock Wildcat blue—which clashed pretty hard with the orange esthetic
On one side, "Stein Time" referencing their new coach
And on the other, "Big Blue Rock"
*crickets* No one ever accused Kentucky of being witty.
By 8am the blue was covered up and later that day, UT students clapped back with "Kentucky could win the next, 58 games and still not lead the series.
Well, better make that 59. Because UT crushed them 34 to 6. I guess that's one way to rock the house
That's 2 stories down, 1 to go. Smash that share button and send this to your favorite Kentucky fan. Then go ahead and block em.
Round 3
You know the economy is bad when instead of grabbing purses or wallets, thieves are snatching pokemon cards.
Surveillance video shared over the weekend shows a masked man enter Middle Tennessee Gaming
He walks right up to the counter snatches the binder of cards and tries to runoff.
But, the female clerk, who commenters identified as Sarah, has hands like vices and refuses to let go.
Eventually a man in the store chases the beta binder burglar away, empty handed
Moral of the story, if you're gonna do a snatch and grab, maybe bulk up a little first
If you recognize the pipsqueak, call Middle Tennessee Gaming or your local police
On a side note, did you see how big that EXIT sign was?
