Ruining Reputations In The Northern Territory
Waitress Allyson White, 34
Amazing quotes in a story from the Northern Territory of Australia. We just don't get quotes like these here in the States. Also, the Humpty Doo is a great name for a town/tavern.
A WOMAN accused of performing a sexual act on a man when he crashed in Darwin's rural area is outraged at the allegation and says it is "absolutely wrong".
Allyson White said the standout burn mark left by her seatbelt across her chest was proof the claims of "amorous activities" with the driver were not true.
"I was not sucking his d*** - and it's pretty obvious that wasn't the case ... you only have to look at the mark on my chest," she said.
"Clearly I had my seatbelt on, so it's impossible that I'd be leaning over sucking his d*** unless he is hung like a donkey or I've got a f****** rubber neck.
"If it was true I'd just cop it sweet and think 'how embarrassing, I got caught sucking someone's d***' - but it is not true and that's what is p****** me off.
. . .
"I don't understand where that story has come from," she said.
"It may have looked bad when police first arrived as my girls were hanging out all over the place. I also had a $5 note wedged between my boobs so they probably just assumed I was a sex worker or something and he'd already paid me.
"But $5 is a bit cheap for a head job."
. . .
She said they stopped into the Humpty Doo Tavern where she usually works to invite other friends, including the unnamed driver, along to the bash.
He did not know how to get to the house so she jumped in his car to give him directions.
"We are just friends and it's pissing me off as people think I have done this behind my boyfriend's back - it makes me feel like a dirty bitch when I've done nothing wrong."
TrueHoop Becomes A Network
I've mentioned before that Henry Abbott's TrueHoop is one of my favorite sites for NBA reporting and news. It's more than that, though. The writing is fantastic, the stories are interesting and always on the leading edge, and the depth and breadth of his coverage is fantastic. TrueHoop is what all news agencies should be pushing to become as they (finally) enter the 21st century and migrate to the Web.
Today, TrueHoop enters a new phase, as it becomes the hub of a hoops blog and reporting network.
Starting right now, ESPN, TrueHoop, and many of the best independent basketball blogs out there are now officially working hand in hand as the TrueHoop Network.
The TrueHoop Network, as fueled by the efforts of a growing list of favorite basketball bloggers (check out that new little drop down on the right), and newly hired ESPN editor, and top-notch blogger, Kevin Arnovitz, will find and foster excellence in online basketball writing.
We will connect the best basketball blogs out there to the best readers out there -- TrueHoop readers.
Not wanting to overstate things, but I think we have an opportunity, over the next several years, to change how sports are covered. . .
Very exciting news for a hoops junkie like me. Check out the rest of the post here.
