“Ain’t nobody got time for that!”
With those six words, Oklahoma City resident ‘Sweet Brown’ became one of 2012′s viral video stars. After surviving an apartment fire in April, Brown gave a wacky and ‘this can’t be real’ interview to Oklahoma City’s KFOR-TV.
Brown and her signature lines, such as “Lord Jesus, it’s a fire,” lead this year’s Grio list of wackiest stories.
Other stories making the cut include a man obsessed with having sex with teddy bears in public places and a woman driving a stolen car into a parking lot full of cops.
