| Posted: 24 Dec 2010 08:52 AM PST Posted: Friday, Dec. 24, 2010 Messing with perfection: Krispy Kreme added a Cheerwine-flavored doughnut. Messing with perfection II: Chick-fil-A added a spicy version of its chicken sandwich. Just trying to have a good time: Panthers receiver Steve Smith, who broke his arm playing flag football, said it was a "mistake." Don't whine for me, Argentina: Jenny Sanford announces in October on "Good Morning America" that ex-hubby S.C. Gov. Mark Sanford is still seeing the Argentine woman who broke up his marriage. Lessons in social media, or Keeping It Real: Brixx Pizza fires waitress Ashley Johnson, who blasted bad tippers on Facebook. Brixx got roasted online by people supporting Johnson. Hey, Goober, keep your hands off the Picasso: Visitors to the new Bechtler Museum of Modern Art were touching the priceless artwork. The mirror crack'd: Bechtler museum has to repair more than 50 broken tiles on its "Firebird" sculpture less than a year after it was installed on Tryon Street. Didn't catch the name. Levine, is it? City officials rename West First Street uptown the Levine Avenue of the Arts in honor of Leon and Sandra Levine, who donated $15 million to the Wells Fargo cultural campus, which the bank renamed the Levine Center for the Arts. That's racin': Operating losses for the NASCAR Hall of Fame could exceed $1 million, and the hall isn't meeting attendance projections. That's Racin' II, or We got culcha raht heah in Charlotte: Bechtler museum and Gantt Center for African-American Arts + Culture say attendance outpaced their projections. Veterans Day: In a valiant attempt to get the NFL's first draft pick, the Panthers cut, traded or waved goodbye to 14 veteran players from the 2009 team. And you thought eating crackers in bed was bad: A 52-year-old Rock Hill woman who was eating pig's feet in bed cut her friend in the arm. Both she and the victim, 50, were intoxicated, according to a Rock Hill police report. Tough town, that Rock Hill: A 47-year-old Rock Hill man says he was assaulted by a python-wielding man at a motel after he asked him to turn down the music. Out-of-network orthodontia: Frank Yarborough, 40, of Clover, S.C., catches a large fish with "teeth like a human" in Lake Wylie. I was just napping: A man was arrested on extortion charges after telling his 35-year-old ex-girlfriend he'd remove nude photos of her from the Internet if she paid him $5,000. The Gastonia woman says she fell asleep while sunbathing and thinks that's when the photos were taken. I was just napping. Really: A 58-year-old woman from Chesnee, S.C., was found naked inside Jay M. Robinson Middle School in September. She could not tell police how she got there. He probably didn't even see Osama bin Laden in the USAirways lounge: Airport director Jerry Orr said he saw no need to review security after a teen managed to climb into a plane's wheel well. If he'd tweeted, he might have gotten $5 million: A Duke Energy executive resigns after embarrassing e-mails, and walks away with $3.7 million. If you can't make the NASCAR Hall of Fame, try for the Felon's Hall: Former Gov. Mike Easley, who crashed a race car while in office, became the latest Democrat to become a convicted felon. They still could have beaten the Panthers: UNC opened its football season against LSU with 13 players suspended during a misconduct probe. PR pitch of the year: "FIRST-TIME INVENTORS DESIGN POLARTEC® POUCH FOR PENIS." "ThermaJock™ is the first product of its kind designed with the specific intent to protect the penis from freezing cold temperatures." You should have seen what he said about the other party: State Republican chairman Tom Fetzer called GOP congressional candidate Tim D'Annunzio "unfit for public office at any level." But it did give him its Mr. Sensitivity Award: Though Charlotte City Council member Warren Turner was accused of making sexually inappropriate contacts to women, the council voted against censuring him. Carolinas Follies special correspondents Michael Weinstein, Jim Morrill, R. Trentham Roberts and Jack Russell had something to do with this.
