Shayegan is one frickin' bizarre individual.

​Sherwin Shayegan is a serial piggybacker known as the Piggyback Bandit. And he has been spotted in Minnesota.

Shayegan, 28, likes to show up at high school sporting events and jump on the players' backs. He is not shy about this -- his Facebook page asks you to "Give me a piggyback ride!" (It also says Sherwin wants to meet "good looking boys. Preferably at libraries when no one else is around.")

In other words, he is one of the creepiest mofos you will ever meet. So creepy that mere reports of his presence in the state were enough for the Minnesota State High School League to ban him from attending high school sporting events.

Booze, public bathroom sex, an altercation with police -- all in a day's work for Jaime Navarro.

​For most people, sex in a public bathroom would be akin to traveling in one of hell's outer circles.

The stink! The dampness! The possibility of innocent bystanders walking in on you! Unless one's libido is completely out of control, it's hard to fathom how the benefits could possibly outweigh the discomfort.

Jaime Navarro, 29, and his lover, Stacy Lavin-Mejia, may beg to differ with my assessment of bathroom sex. Because yesterday, in the bathroom of a downtown St. Paul office tower, the booze-fueled couple got it on -- then got arrested.

Bjerkness got off easy, unlike the countless balls he's slashed over the years.

​Duluth's exercise balls are on alert after serial ball-slasher Christopher Bjerkness was given a stayed prison sentence.

One of the most bizarre stories to come out of Duluth, Bjerkness has a history of breaking into buildings housing rubber exercise balls and slashing them with a knife to fulfill a sexual urge.

Bjerkness, 34, was in court this week following his latest episode last May. In that incident, police said staff at Duluth's Chester Creek Academy caught him in the school's gym with the balls -- before he could do any damage.

Catholic League

Rebekah Nett's harsh words against Catholics might cost her $10,000

​The Catholic League wants a Minnesota lawyer disbarred for filing the craziest bankruptcy brief of all-time.

In the brief, filed November 25, attorney Rebekah Nett accuses Judge Nancy Dreher of being a "Catholic Knight Witch Hunter," declares that the court system is "composed of a bunch of ignoramus, bigoted Catholic beasts that carry the sword of the church," and even labels a bankruptcy trustee, Colin Kreuziger, "priest's boy."

Nett missed a hearing on November 17 because opposing counsel Nauni Manty had given her notice that it was set for 1:30 instead of 1. Nett and her client, Naomi Isaacson, took that to suggest a conspiracy by the judge and the other lawyers, who were "of the same race and religion."

Michele Bachmann: Hot?

​Michele Bachmann was named the 50th hottest woman in politics by Complex magazine yesterday, joining a distinguished class of objectified politicians from around the globe.

Sexist though the magazine's list is, Complex tries its best to offer salient political commentary on at least some of its entries, including Bachmann's.

"She's your crazy ex-girlfriend in political form. You know the one - seemed normal when you first met her, but over time you realized that she does not live on the same planet as the rest of us. The sex was good though."

Employees fled the store when this man exposed himself.

​Minneapolis police are asking for the public's help in tracking down a man who recently walked into a Patina store, exposed himself, and began to masturbate in front of employees.

The employees, for obvious reasons, immediately fled the store and called the cops. The pervert also took off, leaving the scene in a car employees believed was a gold-colored Toyota Prius.

Because he managed to get away before cops arrived, all the police have to go on is a description and an image from the store's surveillance tape.

The offender is thought to be in his 50s, somewhere around five-foot-three or five-foot-six, and, given this incident, seems to have serious issues with impulse control.
