Add actor ICE-T to the list of homeowners who's more than careful about answering the door for a delivery man.
Yesterday, Ice tweeted that he "almost shot" an Amazon delivery guy who was dropping off a package at his home on Monday because the man wasn't wearing a uniform. "Message To Amazon: Now that you have regular people making your home deliveries ... maybe they should wear a Vest with AMAZON DELIVERY on it. ... I almost shot a MF creeping up to my crib last night.... Just sayin," he said.School days, take one: When you went to school, did you get anything for showing up every day, except to maybe learn a little more? In Mesa, AZ, six students who showed up to the East Valley Institute of Technology every day this school year got a chance at a new car.
MICHAEL DUARTE was the lucky student who picked up a Chrysler PT Cruiser.School days, take two: Meanwhile, in Mint Hill, NC, MICHAEL PEGRAM is teaching children how to shoot guns. The firearms trainer is offering gun training classes because --as he put it-- "I'm just offering a class to let them learn to be safe if they're going to be around [guns]."
In the class, the children --some as young as six years old-- start their classes learning to shoot Nerf guns, then, work their way up to 22-caliber or 9-millimeter guns.
"People are extremely against it or they're extremely for it," Pegram says. One of his students says he's learned a lot about gun safety, noting "If you see a gun, tell your parents and never, never point a gun at people," he said.Food news: The hot, meatless trend is continuing. Last week we mentioned fast food chains including Burger King is selling a plant-based burger and McDonalds is testing a similar one in Europe.
Yesterday, Little Caesars joining the fray by announcing they were testing a new sausage pizza topped with non-meat sausage made by Impossible Foods - in Florida, New Mexico and Washington state.
So far, White Castle, Qdoba, Carl's Jr., Bareburger and others are also testing the concept with either Impossible Foods or Beyond Meat plant-based protein. -
