Randomness
>> I had a dream last night that at the nightclub I was being toyed with by this Asian couple. The seme noted I was checking out his uke and because he was the evil type, he demanded his uke service me. In the process, the uke got a huge gash on his back rubbing up against an exposed piece of metal or something in the tight confines of the back room or booth or something. While I'm putting pressure on the guy's wound asking for someone to call 911, the seme punches me in the face knocking me out thinking that I'd done him harm. It was rather anime-like to be sure.

>> I keep losing my PRO status in Wii Bowling in the Heretic League. I keep bouncing around 1000 and it's frustrating. The game is already hard enough playing left handed with right handed settings. Not to mention the fact the Wii box is about 4 feet to the right of the television really screwing up your orientation.
>> Finally for now, didn't get to see Elf yesterday. We called off our going to WETbar since it was going to be 25 dollars. Tonight is DJ Phil B. from San Fran. It starts early (9pm) and Kaze and Tat will be there. Hopefully it'll be a good time. I could use some fun rather than going through the motions.

It had a lot of possible answers, but the fella that would come out on top would prove to be Hollywood's biggest hottie. At least according to the fans of this site. So which one of the guys won? The answer may not surprise you. Labels: boys, movies, pretty boy poll
22% said Heath Ledger. You sick necro motherfuckers.
18% said Shia from Indiana Jones 4. He's as hot as he is dumb.
10% said Mr. Demi Moore. Proving that cougars visit the site in high numbers.
8% said Tony Stark using slings and a slave X cross they built in a cave.
8% said Jack Black in a Panda Suit. These people need to proceed to yiffing in hell.
6% said Emile Hirsch. This is the only people that saw Speed Racer as well.
6% said Justin Timberlake. I don't really have a joke here. He's fucking hot.
6% said Will Smith. I whistled for a cab and when it came near the licenses plate said 'Fresh' and there were dice in the mirror. If anything I could say this cab was rare, but I thought, nah forget it, yo homes to Bel-Air.

3% said Colin Firth. They are bloody wankers.
2% said Spencer Breslin. They all need to please have a seat for me.
2% said Edward Norton. He would be rather easy to sneak a fuck since he sleepwalks through his roles.

1% said Brendan Fraser. They're also are the only one who doesn't pronounce it "Fraiser"
1% said David Duchovny. *waves to Bree Sharp*
1% said Seth Rogan. They need to put the doobie down.
Steve Carell and Ben Stiller did not get any votes. That's... that's just sad. I'm sorry Steve and Ben. Maybe you two can console one another. I'd probably watch that movie.

*takes off shirt*
EASTON, Md. — For only the third time in five years, Easton police have ticketed someone for going topless in public. Sean Cephus, 18, was cited June 4 when police say he was spotted without a shirt on South Street near Hanson Street. He was also cited for failing to obey a lawful order to stop for police. Labels: boys, crime drama, nakedness
A town ordinance adopted in 1974 forbids anyone from going topless in public buildings or on public streets and sidewalks. Possible penalties are a fine of up to $100 and up to 10 days in jail.
Easton Police Lt. Gregory Wright said people without shirts are considered a public nuisance. He said three citations have been issued since 2003.

Tornado destroys and kills at Boy Scout camp in Iowa.
BLENCOE, Iowa — Boy Scouts who came to each others' aid after a tornado that killed four of their comrades and injured 48 people were hailed as heroes Thursday for helping to administer first aid and search for victims buried in their flattened campsite. Labels: boys, disasters, weather
Iowa rescue workers cut through downed branches and dug through debris amid rain and lightning Wednesday night to reach the camp where the 93 boys, ages 13 to 18, had huddled for safety through the twister. They and 25 staff members were attending a weeklong leadership training camp.
Lloyd Roitstein, an executive with the Mid America Council of the Boy Scouts of America, reminded reporters at a news conference Thursday that the Boy Scouts motto is "Be Prepared."
"Last night, the agencies and the scouts were prepared," he said. "They knew what to do, they knew where to go, and they prepared well."
Iowa Gov. Chet Culver praised the boys for "taking care of each other."
The tornado through the scout camp killed three 13-year-olds and one 14-year-old, Roitstein said. A tornado siren went off at the camp, but the scouts had already taken cover before the siren sounded. There was no time to remove them from the isolated retreat, he said.
The boys had been in two groups when the storm hit the Little Sioux Scout Ranch in the Loess Hills. One group managed to take shelter, while the other was out hiking.
Boy Scout officials identified the dead as Aaron Eilerts, 14, of Eagle Grove, Iowa and Josh Fennen, 13, Sam Thomsen, 13, and Ben Petrzilka, 14, all of Omaha.
At least 42 of the injured remained hospitalized Thursday morning, with everything from cuts and bruises to major head trauma, said Eugene Meyer, Iowa's public safety commissioner.
Three were flown to Mercy Medical Center in Sioux City, Iowa, and a fourth was taken there by ambulance. All were listed in serious condition.
All the scouts and staff were accounted for, Meyer said, adding that searchers were making another pass through the grounds to make sure no one else was injured. The camp was destroyed.
Thomas White, a scout supervisor, said he dug through the wreckage of a collapsed fireplace to reach victims in a building where many scouts were seeking shelter when the twister struck at about 6:35 p.m.
"A bunch of us got together and started undoing the rubble from the fireplace and stuff and waiting for the first responders," White told KMTV in Omaha, Neb. "They were under the tables and stuff and on their knees, but they had no chance."
The nearest tornado siren, in nearby Blencoe, sounded only briefly after the storm cut power to the town, said Russ Lawrenson of the Mondamin Fire Department.
Taylor Willoughby, 13, said several scouts were getting ready to watch a movie when someone screamed that there was a tornado. Everyone hunkered down, he said, and windows shattered.
"It sounded like a jet that was flying by really close," Taylor told NBC's "Today" on Thursday. "I was hoping that we all made it out OK. I was afraid for my life."
Ethan Hession, also 13, said he crawled under a table with his friend.
"I just remember looking over at my friend, and all of a sudden he just says to me, 'Dear God, save us,'" he told "Today." "Then I just closed my eyes and all of a sudden it's (the tornado) gone."
Ethan said the scouts' first-aid training immediately compelled them to act.
"We knew that we need to place tourniquets on wounds that were bleeding too much. We knew we need to apply pressure and gauze. We had first-aid kits, we had everything," he said.
Ethan said one staff member took off his shirt and put it on someone who was bleeding to apply pressure and gauze. Other scouts started digging people out of the rubble, he said.
The injured were taken to Burgess Health Center in Onawa, Alegent Health Clinic in Missouri Valley and Creighton University Medical Center in Omaha.
The 1,800-acre ranch about 40 miles north of Omaha includes hiking trails through narrow valleys and over steep hills, a 15-acre lake and a rifle range.

Sick and tired of swimming upstream.
Last night at Heretic while hanging out with a new boy I had on my prospects list, another disappointment, another attack of frustration. Another guy comes up to him and together they scurry off to the bathroom. This is just after he'd gone to the bathroom with his room mate. Labels: boys, drugs, Heretic, personal, Shinji
I ask the room mate who's conversing with boys he thinks are attractive, "Is he going to the restroom to do what I think?"
"Yes."
"Tell him I'll talk to him some other time," came my annoyed reply.
Suspicions that the boy I was interested in likes to do the drugs was enough to send me away. But PIXIE, you'd say, you haven't got anything else going on. What's wrong with a little coke or meth. He just likes to have a good time. And maybe that wasn't it at all. You're overreacting!
Am I?
Am I really?
I think this is just a symptom of a much larger problem I seem to have right now. I'm STILL in the middle of the gay community scene trying to swim upstream. And unlike the mighty powerful salmon, this fishy is exhausted from the climb up without any payoff lately.
What's the point of going out, enjoying the vibe and music of a place if no matter who you talk to, casually or otherwise, turns into either being a complete douche bag (Shinji) or into drugs? And that's even if they find me attractive or interesting enough to talk to in the first place?
But where else can I find someone of the boy on boy persuasion? I'm not about to become one of those guys who troll the bookstore. I'm not exactly sure if there are any real community things I could be interested in that would get me what I want either.
It's not like I'm doing anything particularly wrong, I don't think.
I just am getting so tired of this life.

Shota liek drinking and driving
HARTMAN, Ark. (AP) - An Arkansas preteen faces a drunken driving charge after he and a friend drank his parents' beer, "got liquored up" and crashed his stepfather's pickup truck, the Johnson County sheriff said. Labels: alcohol, boys, crime drama, shota
Sheriff Jimmy Dorney said the 12-year-old boy and his 10-year-old friend drove off in the truck May 4 to find a girl they met at a rodeo. The boys made it about 10 miles before the 12-year-old lost control of the truck.
Dorney said the truck hit and jumped over a guardrail, sending it careening 50 feet down a steep hill into a forest.
Clark James, 46, who lives down the road from the crash site, said he answered the boys' banging at his front door with shotgun in hand about 2:30 a.m.
"I opened the door and the first thing (the 12-year-old) said to me was, 'I'm drunk and I had a wreck,'" James said. "I looked at him and I thought 'You're kind of young to be out drinking. And you sure shouldn't be driving.'"
Neither boy was seriously injured in the crash.
County prosecutor Bruce Wilson said that he will charge the 12-year- old boy with drunken driving and several other misdemeanor charges in district and juvenile court in Johnson County.
Wilson said the 12-year-old could face a variety of sanctions ranging from probation, to court-mandated community service and alcohol rehabilitation, to commitment to the state Department of Human Services Division of Youth Services.
Teresa Belew, executive director of the Arkansas chapter of Mothers Against Drunk Driving, said the 12-year-old is the youngest person she's heard of facing a drunken-driving charge in the state.
James bets that both Johnson County boys are grounded for life.
"If not, then they should be," he said.

Passion Play.
Shinji (and that IS his real name, I checked) did show up last night. Looking very good with a fresh hair buzz and wearing two shirts. Not that it did him any good. Because after two drinks we were headed back into the rest of the nightclub where a dress code was enforced. Labels: boys, Heretic, Japan, personal
Shirtless, we danced and had a good time. We have a very obvious chemistry together that was made all the more apparent in our visit to the dark room. Unlike last time, there wasn't talking, there was action.
You know me, I DO kiss and tell and he is a delight to make out with. With such great parity, he kisses so nicely. And I was quite happy to be all up against him, though did not take it farther than that. (Well I started to but, he said nuh-uh and I respected that.)
But then something very strange and difficult to understand happened. He told me to go away. I hadn't said or done anything suddenly wrong, unusual, or offensive. So I really didn't get it. Still, I did leave him alone.
He left the place without my knowing. And of course, I just was slowly simmering. While I don't know him very well yet here in the early stages of whatever this is, I still was peeved enough to call him at 3 after the place closed. I mean, I know I don't own him or nothing, but I thought I deserved some kind of explanation. He answered, surprisingly, sleepily sounding. He said that he liked me and I liked him and that he went home. I told him I didn't understand why he told me to go away and he didn't answer it really.
Maybe he wanted to enjoy the company with some of the others in the dark room and didn't want me to see. A kind of weird chivalry?
Regardless, I told him goodnight. I should have said that I wanted to see him again, but I was still confused and burned. We'll have to see how this thing goes.
EDIT: After thinking about it today, I've decided that I probably was overthinking about it. LOL. Ironic isn't it? The things I do know is that I don't know him that well but the time that I have spent with him, he's not played any games, given me any stories that didn't make any sense, or whatever. I think it was the right call to call him and ask him what was up, but I am definitely not wanting to be overbearing. I'll give him a call tomorrow and see if I can get to hang out with him again this weekend. After all, he did go when invited last night, "even if there is rain or storms", we made out so so nicely, and "You like me and I like you."

Nihonjin Kareshi Boshu-chu
I met a boy last night. A rare sort, you see, because he's Japanese. There are only two other Japanese gay boys in this city that go out that I know. Tatsuo and Jun. Labels: boys, DJ Kaze and Tatsuo, epic, Heretic, Japan, personal
I couldn't quite hear the name he gave me other than his Americanized name. Terry. Heh. But it could be Shinjiichi. I know it sounded quite a bit like Shinji in there somewhere.
He seemed to be into me. We sat in the corner of the back bar at Heretic for a couple of hours. And he always came back after saying, "I'll be right back" which is a good thing.
He's new to the city. 3 weeks.
Very fun to talk to. Lots of laughing, and real interest going back and forth. Towards the end of the night, I was trying to get him to come back on Wednesday. I explained the shirtlessness rule and he professed his shyness. Yet when we passed by the dark room, he seemed highly curious. I explained that part of the place and he grabbed my arm and pulled me into the corner. Sadly (or perhaps for the best) we didn't do anything but talk back there.
I got his number, and after he said he had to leave, I asked if he wanted me to walk him to the front. (We were all the way in the back of the large nightclub) He said yes and at the door I kissed him just to the side of his mouth.
He told me that I should call him to see about us seeing each other on Wednesday night.
I'm trying not to get too giddy about this, but holyhell that's fucking awesome.

I passed up sex *AGAIN!* Labels: boys, Heretic, personal
This time it wasn't because the guy was uber aggressive. (Seriously, that guy at the Crystal Method show was aiming to drill for oil, or reach China, I'm sure that night.)
No, I was at Heretic and this visitor from Seattle was there. In the city only for a short while, he was checking out the local scene. Always a good thing. And he was very nice, we hung out for maybe a half hour talking on the patio. But I just didn't go after it, even though he was moderately attractive. Prolly mid-thirties, goateed, and not so large in either height or weight. It certainly would have likely been agreeable to see where it went. But I ducked out pretty early on.
Why? Why did I do that?
I mean, I guess I know why. It'd have most certainly been a wham, bam, thank you local boy. But isn't that something I could probably use to get back in the saddle so to speak?
Arughgugh! This is what happens when you fly solo so often. I need a wing man, SRSLY.

Bishounen Prince Harry has been fighting in war on terror.
LONDON, Feb. 28 -- Prince Harry has been fighting on the front lines in Afghanistan for 10 weeks, his presence there kept secret until Thursday in a remarkable deal between the British military and news media. Labels: boys, international news, UK
British military officials confirmed that Harry, 23, third in line to the British throne, deployed to Afghanistan on Dec. 14 and has been fighting Taliban forces from a forward operating base in southern Helmand province.
News of Harry's deployment immediately became sensational news here and rekindled an emotional debate about whether the red-haired second son of Prince Charles and Princess Diana should be risking his life in war.
When the news was posted Thursday on the Drudge Report Web site, British newspapers and television stations instantly rolled out extensive special reports on the first British royal to see combat since the Falklands War more than 25 years ago.
Those reports included lengthy taped interviews with Harry just before his deployment in December and last week at his Afghan base. Photos and video showed Harry firing a machine gun, patrolling on foot in full combat gear in an Afghan village and washing his socks in a camp sink.
"All my wishes have come true," Harry told reporters in last week's camp interview, wearing a brown military T-shirt and camouflage pants and noting that he had not showered in four days.
"It's very nice to be sort of a normal person for once; I think it's about as normal as I'm going to get," said Harry, now addressed with his rank as Cornet Wales. "It's much better being here experiencing it rather than hearing all the stories of people coming back."

Academy Gives Crappy Reason for Omiting Renfro
Nearly 100 industry heavyweights were honored last night during the Academy Awards' "In Memoriam" video package, but not 25-year-old star Brad Renfro, who died last month from an accidental heroin overdose in his Los Angeles home. Labels: boys, movies, television
According to a spokeswoman at the Academy, the omission was not an intentional slight but a necessity, given limited time to make and show the piece.
"Obviously, [that piece] is not something that we can continue to cut right up until the day of the show, so there's a point at which we have to make difficult decisions," she told MTV News. "It's a very difficult piece to put together every year, but we're just not able to include everyone. There were many people [this year] who were not included."
Veteran TV actor Allan Melvin, who played Sam the butcher on "The Brady Bunch" and appeared on "All in the Family" and other shows, was also left out of the package, as was "Jaws" actor Roy Scheider. The spokeswoman acknowledged that Scheider's February 10 death was too close to the broadcast for inclusion.
Renfro made a name for himself at the tender age of 10 when he landed a central role in the 1994 John Grisham legal thriller "The Client," alongside Susan Sarandon and Tommy Lee Jones. Although plagued later in life by a crippling drug addiction and run-ins with the law, Renfro continued to work on high-quality projects well into his teens, including starring roles in "Apt Pupil" and "Sleepers."
But MTV News has learned that he was not an invited member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the organization behind the Oscars. In the end, that might have been a contributing factor to his exclusion from the montage, the spokeswoman admitted.
"We try to represent people — not just actors and actresses — but people who have contributed to film in a variety of different ways," she said. "But [being an Academy member] is certainly one of the considerations that's taken into account, though not exclusively."
Although edited by one individual, "A number of people are in the decision-making chain about who might be included" in the montage, the spokeswoman said.
(Ed note: I love Renfro's films. The Client, The Cure, Tom and Huck, Apt Pupil, Happy Campers, Bully, and Ghost World.)

Weekends of Reruns
Last weekend, it was Sherwin. A boy who was one of the last ones I've dated locally. He came on kinda strong but didn't seem to want to take it any further. And he ignored my calls this past week to see if we could get together. After all, if we're both lonesome, and we know what we're good at... It's too bad he seems to have been playing Useless Ukes Games™. Labels: boys, China, clubbing, Heretic, nakedness, personal, sex
This weekend, it was Ashley. Well, okay, no he didn't come on strong and we didn't do anything! But seeing my most important ex always has the ability to made me either quite delighted or absolutely miserable depending really on how I'm feeling at the time.
Oh, and there was also Raver J. Well he IS always the hottest thing ever. And quite easily accessible a majority of the time. Just as long as he hasn't got his glowing lights set on someone else before you get a chance. We had a very good time Friday night and I was reminded that I *DO* know what I'm doing with a boy when I finally get around to it.
So that's how things have been going there.
The writer's strike may be over in Hollywood, but I'm still seeing quite a few reruns if you know what I mean. Not that that is such a terrible thing. I mean if the boy is good, why not give it another look-see?

*** A woman who sued a hospital because she was unsatisfied with her son's circumcision was denied her lawsuit. Apparently once you sign the consent forms and they've committed to the snippy snippy, you can can't get mad when it looks like shit. (A second doctor did clean it up a bit though.)
*** Amy Winehouse is unable to get a Visa in order to come to the US to pick up the assumed buttload of Grammy's she'll win. Apparently she's gotten so skanky, border guards won't even fuck her.
*** Today begins the Chinese New Year and The Year of The Rat. I'm not sure what soothsayers predict that means, but I do know that despite all my rage I am still likely going to be a rat in a cage.
*** Apparently in New York City there are places that are now accepting Euros as opposed to old fashioned American dollars. Considering how poorly the dollar is doing vs the European Union's currency, it's not surprising.

Update: Cops plan to drop charges against A+F manager
Labels: boys, crime drama, nakedness
As first reported here.
City officials said Monday that they plan to drop obscenity charges filed against an Abercrombie & Fitch store manager at Lynnhaven Mall, where police confiscated two large posters of partially dressed models over the weekend.
The city attorney plans to recommend dropping the charges at that time. Deputy Police Chief Jim Cervera said the Abercrombie & Fitch posters would be returned to the store immediately.
Deputy City Attorney Mark Stiles said city officials decided Monday that the photos depicted nudity but did not fully violate the city code, which outlaws “obscene materials in a business that is open to juveniles.”
The city would have a difficult time proving in court that the posters appealed to prurient interests, were patently offensive to the prevailing standards of the adult community and had no serious artistic value, Stiles said.
Of the photo of the three men, Stiles said, “You might see that typical vision walking down the streets.”
Still, Stiles said, the officer had probable cause to issue a summons. The standards are higher when the case goes to court, he said.
“This was a tough case,” he said. “Abercrombie & Fitch’s advertising is designed to go right up to the line.”
Public attention to the incident had nothing to do with the decision to drop the charges, Cervera said.
Although police spokesman Adam Bernstein initially indicated that customer complaints prompted the officer’s action, he said Monday that he was unable to provide the number of complaints that police received. The officer, who works part time at Lynnhaven Mall in his police uniform to supplement the shopping center’s security, took spoken complaints and did not record them, Bernstein said.
That officer, identified by Bernstein only as Sgt. K. Reilly, had visited the store before Saturday and warned the manager to remove the images, leaving a copy of the city code and his business card. Bernstein said Reilly declined to comment further on the events.
Abercrombie & Fitch Co. officials pledged Monday to defend the company and Payne, who would face a fine of up to $2,000 and up to a year in jail if convicted on the charges. Thomas Lennox, a spokesman for the retailer, called the citation an “incredible overreaction by city officials” and said he knows of no other complaints nationwide about the promotion.
“These photos are tame,” said Lennox, based at the retailer’s headquarters in New Albany, Ohio.
Lynnhaven Mall officials said they received few, if any, comments about the Abercrombie & Fitch posters and had nothing to do with the Police Department’s action. “We had very little response from customers about this particular issue,” said John Westbrook, the mall’s general manager.
MacArthur Center officials said they have received no complaints about the posters in the downtown Norfolk store.
While shopping at Lynnhaven Mall on Monday, Terry Lewis said his daughter likes to visit Abercrombie & Fitch.
“I don’t think they should advertise like that because it’s the kind of message they send to the youth,” said Lewis, who lives in the Beach. “But they’re really selling sex.”
His friend, Itzel Vargas of Panama, said the Abercrombie & Fitch ads didn’t offend her.
“I don’t mind if they want to show naked guys because they show naked women everywhere,” said Vargas, pointing down the mall corridor to the Victoria’s Secret store. “What about the Victoria’s Secret commercials on television? That is much worse than the Abercrombie & Fitch ads.”
Nikki Hawickhorst, a senior at Kellam High School, said she considered the posters a bit risqué because of the partial nudity but that “there’s a lot of worse stuff out there.”
Abercrombie & Fitch has a penchant for raising eyebrows with its promotions. In 2003, it recalled its holiday catalog after a nationwide consumer backlash over sexually suggestive photos of scantily clad models.
“The Abercrombie & Fitch brand is provocative and undeniably sexy,” Lennox said, acknowledging some of the past reaction. “But this is ridiculous.”

A+F ad pulled, manager cited for obsenity.
Virgina Beach, VA -- Police, saying they were responding to citizen complaints, carted away two large promotional photographs from the Abercrombie & Fitch store in Lynnhaven Mall on Saturday and cited the manager on obscenity charges. Labels: boys, crime drama, nakedness
Adam Bernstein, a police spokesman, said the seizure and the issuance of the summons came only after store management had not heeded warnings to remove the images.
The citation was issued under City Code Section 22.31, Bernstein said, which makes it a crime to display "obscene materials in a business that is open to juveniles." He did not say what was being done with the pictures and when the manager, whose name was not released, is scheduled to appear in court.
The manager, reached by telephone, declined to comment on the incident Saturday, saying that he was conferring with and waiting for guidance from Abercrombie corporate officials.
The mural-like black-and-white photographs were taken from the store at midafternoon.
Bernstein confirmed that one depicts three shirtless young men from the back, walking through a field. The man in the lead appears to be about to pull up his jeans, which have slipped down enough to reveal his upper buttocks.
The same image is displayed on the Abercrombie Web site.
The other image is of a woman who is topless and whose "breast is displayed with her hand covering just the nipple portion," Bernstein said. "You could still pretty much see the rest of the breast."
The seizure was "prompted by several customer complaints, and the management of Abercrombie & Fitch was notified of those complaints," Bernstein said.
The company's corporate offices in New Albany, Ohio, were closed Saturday and no officials could be reached for comment.
Bernstein said the summons for a Class One misdemeanor was issued to the manager because there is no legal way to issue a summons to a corporate entity in such circumstances. The manager was not arrested but faces a fine of up to $2,000 and as much as a year in jail, if convicted.
Bernstein said that in a meeting last week with store management, the officer - who is assigned to routine patrol of the mall - said he understood it was a corporate decision as to what would be displayed in the stores. But he explained that that didn't exempt the local store from complying with the city code.
Bernstein said management was told specifically: "We want those advertising signs taken down."
When the officer returned to the store Saturday, Bernstein said, he found that the pictures were still in place.
Abercrombie & Fitch has earned a reputation for its risqué catalogues and promotional photography featuring scantily clothed models.
In 2003, the company halted publication of its 7-year-old A&F Quarterly catalog because of complaints about sexually suggestive photographs by award-winning photographer Bruce Weber.

I heard Shota Cat tried to buy the boy.
SALEM, Ore. (AP) — Cody Young parked his bike in the wrong place at the Goodwill store, where the rule is that anything on the floor goes.
He didn't have a lock, but friends said they had parked inside the store before. On Sunday, though, the black BMX bike was sold.
But the 13-year-old is going to get his bike back, Goodwill officials said, after the buyer saw a newspaper story about the mix-up and called to make things right.
The buyer got the bike for just $6.99 but will get a $100 gift certificate from Goodwill for coming forth.
It's not the first such mix-up in Goodwill's busy stores, Goodwill spokesman Dale Emanuel said. A janitor once left a bucket and mop on a store's sales floor, and they were sold the next day.

Heath Ledger has died at the age of 28.
Labels: Austrailia, boys, celebrity news, drugs, epic, movies, new york city, obituary
NEW YORK (CBS) ? Heath Ledger, who was nominated for an Oscar for his performance in the critically-acclaimed movie "Brokeback Mountain," was found dead -- possibly from a drug overdose -- Tuesday afternoon in a New York City apartment.
The Australian-born actor was just 28.
He was pronounced dead at 3:26 p.m. in an apartment on 421 Broome St. in SoHo.
Police say he was scheduled to have a massage in the apartment, and when the masseuse arrived, a housekeeper went to alert him, but instead found him in cardiac arrest and immediately called 911.
Ledger was said to be found naked at the time of his death.
The actor's death may be drug-related, and that there were pills, possibly a strong sleeping medication, found near his body. However, there was no obvious indication of suicide, NYPD spokesman Paul Browne said.
Police do not suspect foul play.
An autopsy was scheduled by the medical examiner for Wednesday.
Early reports said the apartment was owned by actress Mary-Kate Olsen, but a publicist for Olsen later refuted those reports.
Ledger had recently separated from actress Michelle Williams, who he met while filming "Brokeback Mountain" and became engaged to last year. The couple had an apartment in the Park Slope section of Brooklyn and had one daughter, Matilda, who was born in 2005.
Before marrying Williams, Ledger had also dated actress Naomi Watts and Heather Graham.
Most recently, Ledger was featured in the Bob Dylan biography film "I'm Not There."
He was slated to appear in the next installment of the "Batman" movies, "The Dark Knight," opposite Christian Bale as the infamous "Joker" -- becoming the first non-American to take on the role.
Of the most well-known 15 films Ledger appeared in: "The Patriot," "A Knight's Tale," and "Monster's Ball." He was also nominated for a Golden Globe for his role in "Brokeback Mountain."
In 2001, People magazine named him as one of their "50 Most Beautiful People."
According to a quote from Ledger listed on his profile on the Internet Movie Database, the star enjoyed living life one day at a time.
"I'm not good at future planning. I don't plan at all," he said. "I don't know what I'm doing tomorrow. I don't have a day planner and I don't have a diary. I completely live in the now, not in the past, not in the future."
Ledger grew up in Perth, and began doing amateur theater at age 10. At 16, he moved to Sydney to pursue an acting career, quickly landing TV movie roles and guest spots on Australian television.
After several independent films and a starring role in the short-lived Fox TV series "Roar," Ledger moved to Los Angeles and co-starred in "10 Things I Hate About You," a teen comedy reworking of "The Taming of the Shrew."
Offers for other teen flicks came his way, but Ledger turned them down, preferring to remain idle than sign on for projects he didn't like.
Ledger used to shop at a neighborhood home store and children's store owned by a company called Calypso. Michelle Vella, a buyer there, said she had frequently seen Ledger with his daughter -- carrying the toddler on his shoulders, or having ice cream with her.
"It's so sad. They were really close," said Vella. "He's a very down to earth guy and an amazing father."
She said Ledger once bought a bookcase at the home store, and purchased stuffed animals and dresses for his daughter at the children's store.
He would have turned 29 on April 4.

Is it legal to take pictures of teen boys at swim meet and post them on your gay porn site?
SANTA ANA, Calif. — Several gay adult Web sites have posted photographs of teenage water polo players from several high schools in Southern California, a newspaper reported. Labels: boys, court drama, porn, school news
Some of the pictures, of boys as young as 14, were displayed next to photos of nude young men and graphic sexual content, an Orange County Register investigation found.
Parents, coaches and school officials were alarmed, and parents said some of the boys were traumatized and sought counseling.
"These kids don't look at what they do as shameful," said Joan Gould, an international water polo official and a spokeswoman for a group of Orange County water polo parents. "For someone to come in and take what these kids are doing and take it out of context and exploit these images, these kids and their schools, because you can see the school name on the caps, is just horrible."
Police at the University of California, Irvine, confirmed they are investigating whether a campus police dispatcher had photographed the high school athletes for gay-oriented sites. The man had not been charged, and police Chief Paul Henisey said he remained on duty.
"We're looking into the matter," Henisey said. "We're not exactly sure about what we have or what kinds of issues there are."
It was not clear if posting the pictures constituted an offense.
"With free speech and photography, there's a gray cloud in terms of what is legal, constitutional," said state Assemblyman Jose Solorio, chairman of the Assembly Public Safety Committee.
Solorio said he would have the committee investigate the matter.
The Register said it found photos of players from 11 Orange County high schools plus schools in Los Angeles and San Diego counties on several pages of one gay porn site registered to a London address. Photos were also posted on other sites, the paper reported.

Juno is excellent.
Now that it's playing in over 2000 screens, there is no excuse to not see one of the best films of 2007.
But hands of Michael Cera. He's mine!!

Amateur party people.
New Years Eve is one of the only nights of the year where the non-professional party people try to have a good time. I'm all for sharing the love (and the dance floor) with them, but some of you bitches need to know when to say when about three cocktails before you fall into me. And I'm talking about actual girls. Seriously! You're coming into our gay nightclubs, all fine and well, but don't make complete asses of yourself. You're pissing me off! Labels: alcohol, boys, clubbing, DJ Kaze and Tatsuo, drugs, holiday news, Japan, NaNoWriMo, personal, pixiesticks, shota, The Body Shop, WETbar, works, yaoi
On a more positive note: Kaze and Tatsuo's hospitality was so wonderful. I felt very loved while spending our third New Years Eve together as friends. I ventured to their home, which is very lovely. We watched part of the Japan 4 hour annual New Years Eve concert. Tat gave me more Japanese candy! Yum yum yum.
WETbar is where pretty much all of the girls taking spills with their drinks in hand took place. But it was also where we rung in the actual New Year. Who would have thought this time last year Britney Spears would have had made such a disgraceful fall only to be reclaimed as a diva the pretty boys all love singing and dancing to?
I didn't win any of the cash money drop, but then again, I wasn't really trying. And I wasn't dancing so much either. This was because there really wasn't much space to do anything other than perhaps survey the carnage.
A jaunt over to The Body Shop afterwards was filled with ALOT more fun than usual. While I've discussed at length how the after-hours club has simply not lived up to any expectations, last night they really put on a barn burner. Sure, it was mostly filled with the sketchiest of the bunch (partly because another after-hours party at Center Stage was shut down by the po-po), but it was the most fun I'd had there in a while. And perhaps for the first time, The Body Shop felt like a real club.
Today I've spent mostly resting. It was a really long final day of 2007, but I'm glad to say that I survived a particularly troublesome year.
I've also been slowly chipping away at editing down my winning entry for NaNoWriMo written back in November. It's a novel called "Later, Skater" and I'm really fond of it. Editing isn't a easy chore to say the least, but I really feel good about this project and hope it will be successful.
Glad to have each and every one of you to start off this new year. 2008 could end up being one of the most dramatic in the world we live in, but one thing will remain constant: Pixiesticks.org will still stand tall as one of the best places for yaoi and shota.
So stick around and Happy New Year.
