Eric Kester imagines what it might look like if Facebook had a Department of Creeping that sent out cease and desist letters to Facebook stalkers.

Concerned Memphis pizza delivery woman Susan Guy went to check in on an elderly regular after the latter — who had made a habit of ordering from the same Domino’s every day for three years — hadn’t made a pizza delivery request in three days.

After knocking on the door and banging on windows to no avail, the Domino’s driver phoned 911, which dispatched police to break down the door. The 82-year-old customer had apparently taken a tumble, and was unable to get up or reach a phone.

She was taken to the hospital, where she is resting in stable condition. “Maybe I’ll make her a pizza, take it to the hospital,” Guy told Action News 5.

As soon as I saw the guy on the couch I knew what was going on. Pure Awesomeness.

It’s become a family tradition that I make increasingly ridiculous birthday cakes for my kids each year. So with my little boy Ben turning 6-years-old over the weekend, and appreciating his love of Angry Birds, I thought I’d have a shot a making him a playable Angry Birds birthday cake with working catapult and iced birds as ammunition.

Extremely shocking results….
