  😂 YOU COULDN'T MAKE THIS STUFF UP! The Prison Story That Sounds Like a Comedy Script There are some news stories where you read the headline, stare at the screen for five seconds and think: “No way.” Then you read the article. And discover that, yes… way. This is one of those stories. Back in 2022, New Jersey authorities confirmed that two women incarcerated at the state's women's prison became pregnant following sexual relationships with a transgender inmate. The prison was Edna Mahan Correctional Facility for Women. The inmate was subsequently identified in reporting as Demi Minor, a transgender woman. And before anyone starts shouting at the computer, there's an important factual detail: New Jersey's Department of Corrections said the relationships were consensual. Still with me? Good. Because this is where the story becomes one of those extraordinary pieces of news that sounds like somebody sat down and deliberately tried to write the most unbelievable newspa...

  🐕‍🦺 THE BIGSALTYDOG WEEKLY BARK 🇮🇪 News, Nonsense, Fuel, Wars, Showbiz & Everything Else That Made Us Go “Jaysus!” Friday, 18 September 2026 Welcome to the very first edition of The BigSaltyDog Weekly Bark — the place where serious news meets complete nonsense, where diesel prices get more attention than some politicians, and where Stg. Salty would probably solve most of the world's problems with a Leopard 2 tank, a cup of tea and absolutely no permission whatsoever. It's been another interesting week. Ireland has been ploughing its way through the National Ploughing Championships, fuel prices are still giving motorists heart palpitations, wars continue to dominate the international headlines, celebrities continue to behave like celebrities, and Ireland's weather has once again decided that four seasons in one day isn't enough. So grab yourself a coffee, sit back and let's have a look at what has been happening. And remember... You heard it here first — un...

  🐕 BigSaltyDog: The Mad World of Stg. Salty, the Misfits and One Very Unusual Blog Welcome to the World of BigSaltyDog There are plenty of blogs on the internet. There are blogs about travel, food, technology, sport, cars, celebrities, politics and just about everything else you could possibly imagine. And then there is BigSaltyDog. BigSaltyDog is different. It doesn't take itself too seriously. In fact, taking itself seriously would probably ruin the whole thing. At the centre of the blog is Stg. Salty, a larger-than-life character whose adventures regularly involve an assortment of equally unpredictable characters, bizarre situations, nights out, holidays, treasure hunts, military hardware and enough chaos to make you wonder how anyone ever gets home. And, more importantly, somehow the stories keep getting bigger. The blog has developed into its own little fictional universe, populated by recurring characters and running jokes. Readers don't simply encounter a new story and...

  🇺🇸🇮🇪 STG. SALTY AND THE MISFITS Final Chapter — Back to Normal… Mostly The Leopard 2 was travelling down an American motorway. Inside it were the Smiths, the Griffins, Stg. Salty and the entire Misfit gang. Roger was still navigating. Which meant nobody had any idea where they were. Stan had finally given up. He was sitting in the corner with his arms folded, staring at the ceiling. “I just want to go home.” Peter was eating a doughnut. “We are home.” Stan looked at him. “No, Peter. We're in a tank.” Peter looked around. “Oh yeah.” Suddenly, the tank began to shake. BOOOOOOOOM! Everyone screamed. Salty slammed on the brakes. “What the hell was that?” A strange green portal appeared directly in front of the tank. Out stepped an elderly man with wild grey hair, a lab coat and a flask. Behind him was a nervous teenager. The old man looked at the tank. Then at the people inside it. Then back at the tank. “Morty…” “Yeah, Rick?” “I think we took a wrong turn.” Morty looked around. ...

  🇮🇪🇺🇸 STG. SALTY AND THE MISFITS Chapter 5 — The Great Tank Road Trip The Leopard 2 rolled down the road. Inside were the Smiths, the Griffins, Roger and every Misfit who had somehow managed to squeeze aboard. Stg. Salty was driving. Whizz was beside him. Stan was sitting directly behind them, gripping the side of his seat. Peter Griffin was holding a paper map upside down. Roger was operating the sat-nav. And Quags and Quagmire were sitting together in the back. This was already a terrible idea. “Where are we going?” Stan asked. Roger looked at the sat-nav. “North.” “North where?” Roger smiled. “North.” Stan sighed. “That isn't a destination.” Roger looked at the screen. “It says we're going to… Birmingham.” Salty frowned. “We're in America.” Roger stared at the sat-nav. “Ah.” Whizz leaned over. “Maybe it's Birmingham, Alabama?” Roger shook his head. “No, it says Birmingham, England.” Everyone went silent. Stan stared at him. “HOW DID YOU PROGRAM THAT?” Roger shru...

  🥳 STG. SALTY AND THE MISFITS Chapter 4 — Roger Organises the Party Roger had a plan. This was never a good sign. He stood in the Smith family's living room wearing a sequinned dinner jacket, holding a clipboard and looking extremely pleased with himself. “Ladies, gentlemen, Misfits, Griffins, Smiths and assorted people who have wandered in from the street…” Everyone turned towards him. “I, Roger Smith, am organising the greatest party Langley Falls has ever seen!” Stan immediately shook his head. “No.” Roger looked offended. “I haven't even explained the party.” “I don't care.” “But I've hired entertainment!” “No.” “Caterers!” “No.” “A DJ!” “No.” “A magician!” Stan paused. “…Maybe.” Roger grinned. “Excellent. It's happening.” --- THE GUEST LIST Roger had prepared a guest list. Unfortunately, he had not prepared a small guest list. It contained approximately 600 names. Stan stared at it. “Roger, why does this list include the President?” “I know people.” “Why is t...

  🇺🇸 STG. SALTY AND THE MISFITS Chapter 3 — Super Gigggiddddyyyy!!! It had been exactly twelve hours since Stan Smith had promised himself that things couldn't possibly get any stranger. He was wrong. Very, very wrong. The Smith family were gathered around the kitchen table when there was a knock at the door. Stan opened it. Standing outside was Peter Griffin. Behind him were Lois, Chris, Meg, Stewie, Brian and Glenn Quagmire. Peter smiled. “Hi! We're the Griffin family.” Stan stared. “Why?” Peter shrugged. “Apparently there's some sort of crossover thing happening.” Stan looked behind him. Salty and the Misfits were already cheering. “THE GRIFFINS!” Peter walked in. “Where's the food?” Stan sighed. “Of course.” THE TWO QUAGS While everyone was introducing themselves, Quags was standing quietly in the corner. Then he saw Glenn Quagmire. Glenn saw him. They stared at each other. Quags tilted his head. Quagmire tilted his head. Quags took one step forward. Quagmire took...
