Rister and Rob


These two fellows are Rister Mogers (pronounced "maw-jers") on the left and Rob Banks on the right. They exist within an alternate universe contained in my imagination. They are a pair of popular comedians with a long-running TV show:
that ol'
RISTER & ROB
show
(just like any other show except when it isn't)
They usually play it so that Rob's the straight man and Rister's the funny guy, but are perfectly capable of swapping roles. They have also appeared in several "buddy" films, such as Troubles Come in a Pair and II: Sequel to Nothing. They are as funny as I can imagine.
...I understand if you're backing away from the computer screen right now. That's okay. If I were you, I'd be doing the same thing. But if I were you, then you'd be me, and you'd have enormous glasses and a weird moustache and I'm not sure just what would happen next.

Half Pint
A policeman in Salford, England, spotted a car running at 70 mph in a 30 mph residential area and gave chase. In addition to the speeding, the driver was going the wrong way, in the dark without lights, and drunk (.050 percent vs a legal limit of .035). He was also just 13 years old, and police caught him when he lost control and crashed. District Judge Jonathon Finestein sentenced the boy to four months in custody, plus a driving ban for four years — to start when he becomes eligible for a driver’s license. Judge Finestein, citing the “exceptional” nature of the case, allowed newspapers to report the boy’s identity despite his age: Jon Smee. (London Guardian) ...An obvious deterrent — that will keep it from ever happening with someone that young again.
