(The clerk and three customers reportedly took cover when Derringer came in waving the gun then soon chased him from the store.)
An Ohio man by the name of Derringer cobbled together a gun made from household items and furniture legs in an attempt to knock over a Circle K on Christmas.
Police in Akron took Jeffrey Derringer, 48, into custody on Monday after customers and staff at the convenience store chased the man into an empty parking lot and detained him, the Akron Beacon-Journal reported.
The gun-like piece of industrial art that Derringer used in his failed stick-up attempt? A makeshift rifle fashioned out of a pipe, a fake scope, a spring and two table legs clamped together as the stock.
According to local media, the man was charged with aggravated robbery and booked into the Summit County Jail. He is scheduled to appear in Akron Municipal Court later this week.
Bet that put you off to Hendrix for years! lol
Holy Smokes they actually have a name for it! I must be the King of Mondegreens. ;-)
(apologies to Eric Burden) there is a house in New Orleans they call The Rising Son!
Til Tuesday “Voices Carry” is hilarious (but raunchy).
In the time this idiot took to make that piece of junk he could have built a 12 gauge slam gun.
After reading those examples I surrender my crown.
I just have a moderate case of mondegreens syndrome in comparison.
Some of them, I suspect, are just being goofy.
Nobody is *that* stupid.

IMO, the all-time “mondegreen” winner is Manfred Mann’s cover of “Blinded By The Light”.
:D
Such sluuuuuts
Keep it down south
*****’s hairy
Uh-woah-woah
This guy wins the LOSER OF THE WEEK award, hands down!
That’s true. I never understood what/why/how anyone could be “revved up like a douchen’”
Just looked up the lyrics. That was the tip of the iceberg.
Thx! Good site.
Derringer, huh?
I bet the cops laughed all the way to central booking.

Hey, I was driving back from Carmel last night, and I heard Alice Cooper on the radio. I actually recognized his voice. He has a radio show apparently. He was talking about musicians who dies in 2017. He said he was really good friend with Mel Tellis, and he was teaching Chester Bennington to golf.
From his quirky but cool debut album Greetings From Asbury Park.
I like Manfreds version but prefer Bruces, really.
His following album The Wild, The Innocent And The E Street Shuffle was great, too.
Yeah, Alice has his radio show.
Its pretty crazy sometimes.
One of his best friends was Glen Campbell.
Talk about cognitive dissonance.
