TypicalFish 0 #1 March 4, 2005 Listening to the Channel 4 news (on a TV in the other room), I hear: "The man was critically injured, and the two chimpanzees that attacked him were shot and killed"... Edited to add CLICKY... I feel sorry for the man and the animals, it was just a weird thing to hear..."I gargle no man's balls..." ussfpa on SOCNET Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One year was about all I could take in LA (was a west sider when I was there). Only thing I miss is In N Out."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

Frenchy68 0 #5 March 4, 2005 Well, been here for almost 17 years! I used to say I wouldn't be around for very long, but I gave up. Not quite sure what it is, but there is something that anchors me here... Maybe spending about 4 months a year outside of the country also helps...

This one isn't as bad as a couple of weeks ago when the PA hired two "escorts" to meet him at a hotel and they stole his money. (Two - the greedy bastard) This guy was just drunk, running around a motel parking lot. QuoteKEY WEST, Fla. - A drunk Monroe County prosecutor thought it would be funny to run naked across a parking lot and hop into a friend's car, authorities said. But the joke was on him when he jumped into the wrong car and was arrested. Albert Tasker, who works for the Monroe County State Attorney's Office, told authorities he had been drinking with friends and thought it would be funny to shed his clothes and run to a friend's car in the parking lot of a Key West motel, according to a police report. But Tasker apparently got in the back seat of a car occupied by a woman waiting for her boyfriend. The woman screamed and her boyfriend appeared. After the woman called 911, a Key West police officer found Tasker in the middle of the parking lot. Tasker, 28, was arrested Monday morning and faces charges of disorderly intoxication and indecent exposure, both misdemeanors. Officials with the State Attorney's Office said a request has been sent to Gov. Jeb Bush's office to appoint a special prosecutor to handle the complaints to avoid any appearance of a conflict of interest.
