2 bring corpse to store to cash check

By MARCUS FRANKLIN
Associated Press Writer

NEW YORK (AP) -- Two men wheeled a dead man through the streets in an office chair to a check-cashing store and tried to cash his Social Security check before being arrested on fraud charges, police said.

David J. Dalaia and James O'Hare pushed Virgilio Cintron's body from the Manhattan apartment that O'Hare and Cintron shared to Pay-O-Matic, about a block away, spokesman Paul Browne said witnesses told police.

"The witnesses saw the two pushing the chair with Cintron flopping from side to side and the two individuals propping him up and keeping him from flopping from side to side," Browne said.

The men left Cintron's body outside the store, went inside and tried to cash his $355 check, Browne said. The store's clerk, who knew Cintron, asked the men where he was, and O'Hare told the clerk they would go and get him, Browne said.

A police detective who was having lunch at a restaurant next to the check-cashing store noticed a crowd forming around Cintron's body, and "it's immediately apparent to him that Cintron is dead," Browne said.

The detective called uniformed New York Police Department officers at a nearby precinct. Emergency medical technicians arrived as O'Hare and Dalaia were preparing to wheel Cintron's body into the check-cashing store, Browne said. Police arrested Dalaia and O'Hare there, he said.

Cintron's body was taken to a hospital morgue. The medical examiner's office told police it appeared Cintron, 66, had died of natural causes within the previous 24 hours, Browne said.

"He was deceased in the apartment when he was removed by these two," Browne said.

Dalaia and O'Hare, both 65, were being held by police and faced check fraud charges, Browne said.

A call to a telephone number listed for Cintron at the apartment he shared with O'Hare went unanswered Tuesday evening. Police said they didn't have an address for Dalaia or attorney information for him or O'Hare.

you betch!

just get it...




feel like going holiday shopping for yourself?? yea, me too!

this is going to be the breast xmas ever daddy!

want to help some girls get some boobies for christmas? can't you just picture it...a big present under the tree and inside...jiggly implants! "it's just what i wanted daddy!"honestly, i feel bad that they took these close-up boob shots (well some of them who are not as endowed)...b/c it's quite awkward and kind of american apparel-esque.

hint hint

American Apparel, known for their junkie/hipster/homeless looking models, are always trying to throw in a hint of sex, a dash of trash and a dollop of dirt into everything they do - online or in mags. i was shopping online on AA's site, minding my own business, looking for winter tights. i hit the close-up button on one of the tights to see what the pattern was and holy mother of typical, what pops up?

oh, just this crotch, wearing the tights i was going to buy.
mmm, pea soup.

Ahhh-MAZING

the new "your mom/MILF" shirt:

it's just like, it's just like...scariest eyes i have ever seen

HEY HEY!

i saw a local chicago commercial featuring this guy, for Walter E. Smithe, and i was so confused why they used him. now come to find out, this guy coined the "it's just like, it's just like a mini mall! hey hey!" phrase and was on Ellen. this is something i expect from Detroit local ads, not Chicago. Mel Far to the rescue, Mel Far to the res-es-cue!

"momma's baaack!" celine on TODAY part 2

fast forward to 1:10....and enjoy (note: see previous post below). just can't get enough of this...

"might as well call them Burger Queen now..."

of all the what-ifs in the world, Americana takes this one pretty hard. they want their fast food and they want it now...

i am the greatest singer in the WORLD! (and air guitarist over 40)

fast forward to :16 second left...for the air guitar and kick. please note: there is no band behind Celine, there is just a shitty backing track (might as well just put a tape player next to her and plugged her mic into it like karaoke). god bless the singer phenom that is Celine - she can sing peeps, but she's a lil nuts, a lil cheesy. if you watched the Today show yesterday (before her performance), she was out on the plaza with Matt, Meredith and Al and they were asking her about how she transitioned from her 5-year long run in Vegas to recording her new album and now going on tour - and her response was sung and this is what she sang: "OOOOH, MAMA'S BACK!" and then she proceeded to jump and swing her arms almost hitting Matt. priceless.

I might make grammatical errors every now and then...

heading back to E.L. for the MICHIGAN/MICHIGAN STATE game...a big game for us, although some UofM fans have referred to this game as a "bigger rivalry for MSU than it is for them," apparently they have bigger fish to fry like OSU...which they'll lose to again this year. i love when the game is at MSU...because the UM'ers actually get a chance to see what a real college experience is like, if they do choose to visit the banks of the red cedar. although a lot of UM fans won't brave the trip to E.L. because for them it's like "slumming it," right? RIGHT? haha. MSU is not a place for lame partiers with weak stomachs.

i'm looking forward to going back to State, my home for 4 years and the only place in Michigan where partying is an art. i am going to be training my UM boyf, because frankly he'll need some help from me this weekend if he's going to survive...

TAILGATE: some of you reading this that might have gone to UM (or are just UM fans who never went there and own a Wolverines Starter jacket) have no clue what this term really means. i'm sure you're a little confused, so let me clarify:

here are the rules and guidelines to TAILGATE at MSU:
1. no matter what time the game starts (12pm, 3:30pm, 7pm) we always start EARLY. and EARLY means, get yourself out of bed (earlier than you would if you actually went to class) and throw on some green & white and grab a case or a fifth, some beer coozies, tennies & jeans...it's gonna be a long day. 8am is usually how we get it started, ripping shots on the tennis courts or bonging a beer on campus...since drinking is free game once you enter the campus, open containers are welcome all over the place (once we did some beer bongs in the Comm building)
2. hit a few spots during tailgate, you've got time if you start early, as many do. the tennis courts are where the alum usually go, but some frosh find their way over there since there are dorms right across the street (Wilson, Wonders, Case, Holden). my suggestion: on your way to campus hit up a frat party for free booze, rip a shot, shot-gun a beer. next go to the courts and spend most of your time drinking, playing flip cup and cornhole. keep an eye out for ridiculousness, it sometimes feels like you're watching the greatest college movie of all time. top off your tailgate with a stop at "the rock" the undergrad hot spot (mainly frats and sororities, but there is a DJ there and you might see a couch thrown in the air)
3. don't pick a fancy drink. you've got to drink all day, i mean alllll day - your breakfast is alcohol, your lunch is alcohol with a side of tailgate food and then you need to pony-up and head to the bars afterwards and later that night as well. so take it from me, Kahlua and milk for 5 hours is not a good idea (or finding out you're lactose intolerant in between drinks 5&6). be safe, drink beer, maybe some liquor (usually just shots) - beer will keep you on top of your drunk ass game all day long.
4. MSU football is not about going to the game. we tailgate and we tailgate hard. if you don't make it to the game people won't make fun of you, this also opens up a lot of student tickets for sale between 10 minutes before game and halftime (if you want to go to the game)...if you head to "the rock" and find the drunk ones who are wavering, see if they want to sell their student section ticket. although the UM/MSU game tics might be going for more, if you find a drunk enough student the ticket will be close to free.
5. if you do go to the game, it's all about having fun in the student section. it's a good time (i had season tickets all 3 years) and whether we win or lose, we still know we have way more fun than any other school...

with all of that being said...i would love a STATE victory tomorrow, it would be an awesome way to add to your good season and a great way to add to UofM's Appalachian State wound. OUCH!

GAME ON! oh...and SPARTY ON! (it was once shouted out at a wedding i went to this summer and although i have heard it many times before, this "time & place" setting for the term was quite hilarious)

articles on the big game:
The State News: MSU benefits outweigh U-M arrogance
A Michigan Daily writer in The State News: Rivalry game? MSU vs. U-M football isn't
(my favorite quote from this one in response to the MSU hate mail he received last year: "Most of the messages were pretty heated, some had threats tied in and a couple (OK, nearly all) had glaring grammatical errors. Was I upset? Hardly. To be honest, I was pretty excited to learn that Moo U had at least 147 quasi-literate students."
Detroit News - More than a game: 100 years of the Michigan-Michigan State rivalry
Detroit Free Press - Running to glory? Ringer looks to make amends for missing last year's game

BONUS: now that the football season is half way over - i had to post a little about State B-ball. everyone knows that Spartans are more excited about the basketball season, we like football, but our faith has always been in the basketball team. the AP/ESPN/USA Today has ranked State as #8 this year!! ranked just above Indiana, the only 2 Big Ten teams ranked pre-season.

Star's not worth $30,000 for 1 1/2 hours

Star Jones is now not welcome in the D! they hate her, she failed to show up for event that cost a women's fitness group Full and Fabulous $30,000 to have her speak for 1 1/2 hours, and she never showed, but did accept their gift of an airfare for her and Big Gay Al and a 5-star hotel. apparently Star upgraded her and Al's flight to first class using the owner of Full and Fabulous' debit card without permission. this is just another chapter in her life of shameless self promotion. she is like a machine - first she uses her weight as a way to get press coverage in lieu of her gastric bypass surgery (which she still denies until this day), then she uses her fandom on the View to promote her wedding, offering a "fan" gift registry - not only did she get gifts from people less fortunate than her, but she pretty much had her entire wedding comped in exchange for press coverage and sponsors (can you imagine the speech at your wedding to your husband complete with subliminal advertising "without Dan and our sponsors from Harry Winston, this wedding would have not been possible.") and to top it off, she just had her 40th birthday party, where she invited 40 of her close friends to the Bahamas and it was an all expense paid trip for all of them and her of course in exchange for sponsors. SHAMELESS HO!remember when she was this size??

she is NO longer a role model to the 'Full & Fabulous' although those that try to do anything to get their name all over anything and get a free pass, A.K.A "America's Guest" have found a true hero in Star.
