Weasel of the Week: Travis Parmalee

Based on what I read in this morning's New York Daily News, this dweeb was begging for headlines. Parmalee, you see, had a few too many Friday afternoon and was heckling Tiger Woods during the 2nd round of The Players Championship. The article doesn't say whether or not Woods actually took notice, but security at the golf course did, which led to the local police arriving and Parmalee ending up on the business end of----wait for it----a taser. Yep, for the 2nd time this week, a knucklehead ends up getting tasered for disrupting a sporting event.

Now, Steven Consalvi, the 17 year old who infamously was tasered in Philadelphia on Monday, has been the subject of much ridicule since, largely because he ignored his parents' advice not to go on the field. Not to mention the fact that an older idiot got on the field the next night and was caught in more conventional fashion. Parmalee, who either is unemployed or played hooky from his job for the day (that wasn't made clear, either), was more than three sheets to the wind, such that the taser was required to subdue him when he resisted arrest.

I would say it was too early in the day for Parmalee to be that wasted, but then again, I live in a neighborhood where the local riffraff buy cheap beer (and I do mean cheap--less than a dollar a can) and get sloshed at all hours, rather than do something productive---like getting a job. Something I doubt Travis Parmalee will have Monday morning. Instead of pink elephants, Parmalee should be seeing pink weasels, because his foolish, parasitic grab for attention got him a set of weasel ears this week.
