LAWRENCE TWP. -- A dispute in Cedarville Sunday proved that just about anything can be used as a weapon.

Cedarville resident Michael File received several small lacerations on his back Sunday as the result of being whipped with a dead six-foot-long blacksnake, state police said.

File, 26, wasn't wearing a shirt when Kenneth Davis, 42, of the 400 block of 8th Street, Vineland, allegedly whipped him on the back with the snake in the yard of his Main Street home.

Davis later was assaulted by File with a baseball bat, authorities said.

State police said they learned that Davis had been attempting to let the snake, which was alive when the incident began, crawl into File's residence. File's father, whose name was not available, saw the snake approaching the front of the residence, stepped on it and beat it to death with a piece of wood. Police said Davis, who had been drinking, became angry and pushed the elder File.

Michael File told Davis to leave the property, whereupon Davis picked up the snake, twirled it over his head and assaulted Michael File with it, police said. The Files then went into the house.

2. Gotta read the whole thing, can't miss the basball bat part!

The son of the snake-whippee hits the snake-whipper in the head with a baseball bat. A beautiful, inspiring story of the indomitable human spirit, of family, and traditional values. Gotta love my fellow south Jersey residents. When they aren't marrying their kin and molesting collies, they hit each other with the damnedest things.

4. Oh, great.

Vineland has another thing to apologize for. First Welch's Grape Juice, then Debbie Gibson, NOW THIS!

5. Debbie Gibson is from Vineland? No way.

I refuse to beleive it. Maybe Buena, but not Vineland. Hey, didn't Buena officially change its name to "Kraft Macaroni and Cheese" or something like that, for just one day, as a paid promotion?

6. Her family is from Vineland

...but she escaped, and was raised on Lawngeyeland.
