Worcester-A Southbridge Street man was arrested last night shortly after a police officer watched in disbelief as he allegedly sped, on a dirt bike, around the bases of a baseball diamond during a game at Crompton Park.

The man, Johaneth Rivera, 32, of 130 Southbridge St., told Officer William Armstrong that he was riding the motorbike on the field because “no one ever told him he couldn’t”

by the goat… Nice one Wormtown! This one is simple, some guy was just riding around the bases on a dirt bike during a little league game. He tells you that he did it because “no one ever told him he couldn’t”. The reaction to this 100% of the time should be to immediately kick him in the face. Then tell him you did it because… all together now…no one ever told you that you couldn’t.

Also, what the hell kind of name is Johaneth? Did his parents want to name him Johan, but then decided it needed to sound more stately? So they add a Shakespearean suffix to the end of it? Johaneth doth protest!

Here’s one out of New Zealand where apparently the judges have an amazing amount of common sense:

WELLINGTON, New Zealand- A family court judge in New Zealand has had enough with parents giving their children bizarre names here, and did something about it.

Just ask Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii. He had her renamed.

Judge Rob Murfitt made the 9-year-old girl a ward of the court so that her name could be changed, he said in a ruling made public Thursday. The girl was involved in a custody battle, he said.

The new name was not made public to protect the girl’s privacy.

“The court is profoundly concerned about the very poor judgment which this child’s parents have shown in choosing this name,” he wrote. “It makes a fool of the child and sets her up with a social disability and handicap, unnecessarily.”

That last quote is the best thing I have heard attributed to a judge in a long while. I wonder what Judge Murfitt would have done if Wormtown’s finest, Johaneth Rivera, had been arraigned in his court room. He would have jumped over the bench and kicked him in the face, that’s what.

Now we just need to set up an extradition agreement between Hollywood and New Zealand. There are a few celebrities there that Judge Murfitt would have a field day with. Here is a list of the first twenty to go.

Oh yeah, this is a sports blog. The Patriots signed first rounder Jerod Mayo, he will be at practice today.
