Shannon Stapleton/ReutersIs it a crime to poop in a Pringles can and then hurl that can into the parking lot of a crime-victim advocacy center? Maybe not, but it’s certainly an act worthy of punishment, according to the Ohio Supreme Court, which suspended the poop-slinging attorney at the heart of the bizarre incident on Tuesday. Jack Blakeslee, whose previously unblemished record now has a decidedly large, brown stain on it, was suspended from practicing law for a period of one year, with six m

      Not that he isn’t a dickhole, but…that’ll…show them…? How did anyone else even notice this enough to care? Someone so poorly underpaying the cleaner guy that he opened a discarded parking lot pringles can in search of food?

          I am so absolutely not doing that, no. Maybe it’s a whole pound of free cocaine. Maybe god finally smiled on me and it’s a very ill-planned potato chip bomb like that experiment where you use a whole potato to power a light bulb. Probably it’s some kid’s lost gravel collection.

        My guess is that it exploded and caused a mess. There’s no way that held together. Pringles cans are literally made out of paper thin cardboard with a little bit of glue holding it all together.
