You mean they actually WATCH those camaras? (Darwin Award of the Month) Oh yeah, also Mother Of The Year

NEW PORT RICHEY — Jill Borrero slipped the pills in her pocket, behind the counter of the Kmart pharmacy where she worked, thinking no one was looking, authorities said.

But the newly installed security camera caught her on tape.

Kmart's loss prevention district manager alerted New Port Richey police, who arrested Borrero on Wednesday afternoon on a charge of grand theft. She was released on $2,000 bail.

Borrero, a 50-year-old pharmacy technician, is accused of stealing hundreds of prescription pills over the past two months — a pocketful at a time.

"I didn't feel I was taking enough to cause anybody any grief," Borrero told Bay News 9, the St. Petersburg Times' coverage partner. "It was just a few."

But it added up. Over the past few months, police said, Borrero pocketed:

• 1,451 pills of 2-milligram Xanax.

• 149 pills of 1-milligram Xanax.

• 132 pills of 2.5-milligram hydrocodone.

• 20 pills of 1-milligram Lorazepam.

Altogether the pills are worth $999.58, New Port Richey police said.

Borrero, of 4424 Rudder Way, told police she took the pills for her sons.

"The two sons appear to have a substance abuse problem," said Lt. Steven Kostas. He added, "I'm sure there might have been a little drug sales going on on the side."

Borrero gave a different explanation to Bay News 9:

"The Xanax I took as a stress thing," she said. "The Vicodin I took because my son has very bad teeth, and he's always got a toothache, so I was just trying to help him out."

The manager at the Kmart at 5725 U.S. 19 referred media inquiries to the company's corporate spokeswoman, who declined to comment other than to say the store is fully cooperating with the police investigation.

It's unclear how long Borrero had worked at the store. But Kostas said the security camera was just installed in the pharmacy on Sunday.

He said it caught footage of Borrero pocketing a handful of pills Monday — and a whole bottle Tuesday.

Guess Who Found a Mess From the Overnight RPh?

I figured out a way to save my employer a truck-load of money. Our store is 24 hours, which equals 24 hours of pharmacist-on-duty. Our overnights give away more drugs for free (because you can totally trust people that come in as a new patient at 2am) then we get reimbursed for. So, I figure if we just leave the pharmacy open, without a pharmacist, and just have a "log book" of sorts, we'll actually be ahead of the game because we won't be paying the overnight pharmacist any money.

Sure there are flaws to this, like that pesky state board, but really, we are a corporation, we should be able to get around that no problem!

OKAY!

It starts with a simple YouTube video that gets parodied by a cartoon that gets another parody/redemption on a TV web show. I of course had to parody it again after some laughter, rewatching the original, and talking to some friends who read the blog following a phone call late one night that began with "CHANGE THE CHANNEL NOW!! YOU'VE GOTTA SEE THIS!!" I am talking about the one and only "What what In The Butt" by Samwell, parodied by Butters Stotch on South Park, and the interview/acoustic redemption on Tosh.0 featuring Josh Homme from Queens of the Stoneage that sparked that frantic late night call.

The Anti-emetic Suppository Action Song version:

I said: "What what, in the butt"
I said: "What what, in the butt"
I said: "What what, in the butt"
I said: "What what, in the butt"

You wanna put it in my butt, in my butt?
You wanna put it in my butt, in my butt?
You wanna put it in my butt, in my butt?
Let's put it in the butt,
OKAY!

I know you see me puking, over there
Come help me, if you care
Don't sit and stare, it's just not fair
Stop my puke, if you dare

What what

I said: "What what, in the butt"
I said: "What what, in the butt"
I said: "What what, in the butt"
I said: "What what, in the butt"

You wanna put it in my butt, in my butt?
You wanna put it in my butt, in my butt?
You wanna put it in my butt, in my butt?
Let's put it in the butt,
OKAY!

It's okay, I don't wanna puke tonight
Please hurry, I don't wanna puke tonight
If you insert it, I'll bend right over
Just be gentle, use lube and a glove

I said: "What what, in the butt"
I said: "What what, in the butt"
I said: "What what, in the butt"
I said: "What what, in the butt"

I'm still puking on my knees
All I want is that suppository
Give it to me if you please
Give it to me if you please

I'm still puking on my knees
All I want is that suppository
Give it to me if you please
Give it to me if you please

I said: "What what, in the butt"
I said: "What what, in the butt"
I said: "What what, in the butt"
I said: "What what, in the butt"

You wanna put it in my butt, in my butt?
You wanna put it in my butt, in my butt?
You wanna put it in my butt, in my butt?
Let's put it in the butt,
