The Woman Who Woke Up Sounding Chinese. Wait. What?
When Sarah Colwill, 38, was hospitalized for an intense migraine in 2010, she awoke to an astounding sound—her voice.
Her familiar English accent had been replaced by what sounded like a poor impression of a Chinese person, leaving doctors scratching their heads.
Her predicament was a side effect of a rare neurological condition called Foreign Accent Syndrome.
Colwill is one of just 150 confirmed cases ever of FAS, according to the Independent. The condition is most often caused by damage to the brain brought on by a stroke or traumatic brain injury, UT Dallas reports.
In a new BBC documentary ‘The Woman Who Woke Up Chinese,’ which aired Tuesday, Colwill’s life with an alien voice proves to be less like an episode of Summer Heights High and more like a nightmare. -BBC
I know a scam when I see one, and this, ladies and gentlemen, is a scam. Foreign Accent Syndrome? They should just probably change it to “I don’t wanna sound like me anymore disease”. One minute she is having tea and scrumpets, then next she is singing ‘Deck The Halls’ like the people at the end of A Christmas Story. Let me explain how this worked. Lady got a super crazy migraine from hearing herself speak, decided to ditch the british accent and go absolutely rogue. Not sure why she went Chinese, but hey it’s working out for her. She is pretty good at it and will only get better in time. Personally I would have went full language change. Just start speaking the little Spanish I know over and over again until I pick up new words and develop a beast of a vocabulary. Change your accent all you want hunny, but don’t start crying Chinese wolf on us. You and the 150 other cases in the world just need to own up to what you’re doing. No one will hate you for it.

Of Course Tom Bradys House Has A Moat
If I ever lived in a house like this I’d never leave. Forget football. Forget Ugg commercials. I have a supermodel wife and literally the best house in the entire world. A house that has a moat. Drinking beers in a moat is so high on my bucket list that it’s actually disturbing. I hate Tom Brady, but goddamnit do I respect you.

Nobody Puts Clint Eastwood In A Corner
(Source) Things just got a little murky in the split between Clint and Dina Eastwood.
The couple split in June after 17 years of marriage, and Dina Eastwood has since been linked with her old college friend Scott Fisher (who played and coached professional basketball in Australia).
Nothing odd about that, except Clint Eastwood has recently been spotted out with Fisher’s ex-wife Erica Tomlinson-Fisher. (Wife Swap, anyone?)
Both Fisher, 50, and Dina Eastwood grew up in Fremont, California. They both attended Mission San Jose High School in Fremont.
On Twitter, Fisher only follows 92 people. Among them are Dina, her daughter Morgan and stepdaughter Francesca Fisher-Eastwood.
When asked for comment by US magazine, Dina Eastwood said, “I am saddened to see photos of Clint with Ms Tomlinson-Fisher. I look forward to new beginnings.”
Later, she did a complete about face, tweeting, “I don’t like reading negative things about Clint. He is a wonderful, good natured, brilliant person. No matter what, I attest to that,” adding, “I usually don’t believe in ‘karma’ for people who target others with evil intentions, but, I sure hope it exists now.”
Former news anchor Dina married the screen legend in 1996 after the couple met during an on-air interview.
Most recently, she and her daughters starred in the reality show “Mrs. Eastwood and Company” (not surprisingly, Clint Eastwood didn’t want a bar of it).
Clint Eastwood has not commented publicly on the split.
Vs.
Hell hath no fury like Clint Eastwood scorned. You wanna start dating your old high school boyfriend? Clint don’t play like that. Because he’s going ex wife hunting too, and judging by the pictures here, Erica has Clint’s wife beat in the looks department. Sun dress gets me 100 out of 100 times. I feel bad for Scott Fisher here. You’re getting Clint’s scraps and he’s taking your wife to the woodshed. Australian football coach is impressive in every other scenario, but you’re in the big leagues now Scott. Clint kills people. For real.

P.S. Clint has to be the best looking 83 year old on the planet. I swear he didn’t age from 65 to now.

Christmas in September: NFL Seasons Opens Tonight!
The NFL season is finally here! Fan Duel. Fantasy Football. Survivor pools. And of course, rooting for your favorite childhood teams. I love my birthday and now that I’m an adult holidays are extra special because you get time off, but nothing brings me as much excitement as the opening night of the NFL season. Sunday fundays now have a totally different meaning. Men can talk football in bars, debating fantasy trades and playoff chances from now until February. God I love this country.
Is Hiding in a Kmart and Huffing 16 Cans of Air Duster a Wake Up Call?
He told police he’d been “huffin.'” Robert Pry faces commercial burglary, theft, and other charges stemming from analleged inhalants binge. Pry was discovered passed out in the storage room of a Jonesboro, Ark., Kmart on the morning of Sept. 1. The 21-year-old was found “covered in vomit and urine” with 16 empty cans of air duster nearby. When police arrived at the scene, Pry reportedly told officers that he’d hid out in the store until it closed, then found the air duster and “huffed all night long.” As Gawker pointed out, the 16-can binge was preceded by a self-financed inhalants romp at Walmart. Police found several more empty cans of duster in a truck that Pry said he’d borrowed from a friend. The man told police he’d spent $100 on duster at Walmart, and staged the alleged burglary at Kmart after he’d ran out. According to the police, Pry said he was “addicted to huffing.” No kidding. -Huff Post
So Rob spends a Benjamin on huffers at the local Walmart, inhales all of them, and stumbles over to the Kmart to steal some more. Obviously, he felt hiding out in the store and pissing all over himself was, in the end, a better option than committing to the elaborate heist that i’m sure he had planned out in his head. When he got caught he cried “addicted to huffing”.
Check out this guy, addicted to huffing!
I like to smell things as much as the next guy, but you don’t see me passed out in the back of a Yankee Candle with piss all over my pants, do you? Get your shit together Robert..if that is your real name!
