Annie's Featured News Story of the Day:

Fake Foreigner drummer allegedly steals Corvette

AP CLEARWATER, Fla. – Authorities said a transient man convinced a woman that he was the drummer for the rock band Foreigner, stole her Corvette and then crashed it. Police said a 48-year-old man befriended the woman at a Tampa hotel, claiming to be Cory James, the drummer for Foreigner.
The band has had more than a half dozen drummers over the years, none of whom were named Cory James.
The two met up later at the Clearwater Hilton, where police said the man conned the valet into giving him the woman's 2002 Chevrolet Corvette without her knowledge or consent. He crashed a short time later and ran off, and police say they used a dog to track him down.
The man faces multiple charges, including grand theft auto. He was being held on $27,900 bail.


My first question: Foreigner? Really? Of all the bands to fake membership with, you chose Foreigner? I guess "Feels Like the First Time" must still be pretty big in the transient community...and with lonely Tampa women.



Secondly: Dude, you had the choice of over half a dozen different, ligitimate drummers to impersonate and you still couldn't come up with one of their real names?

Third: Cory James? Really? Of all the fake names to choose, you chose Cory James? I would have chosen something like Kent Fang or Monty McSlade.

Fourth: Just visualize this line and try not to laugh: He crashed a short time later and ran off, and police say they used a dog to track him down.

Better luck next time, my transient friend.
