Reminds me of the time someone stole all of the toilets from the Police station.

The detectives had nothing to go on...

Try the Vermont Maple Syrup

:rolleyes:

Dunkin Donuts announced today it's new delivery service.

He should be able to beat that one. Accident??? :headshake

But look at what started all this bother .... marijuana possession. Stoopid law.

Am I a bad person for laughing right along with Gravdigr? I'm sure the police whined "But I was only doing my job!" at some point. And this will inconvenience them for a short time but them backfire. because they will all get brand new cruisers with the latest high-tech spy gear aboard, possibly at HIS expense.

And I really am beginning to agree with the marijuana laws' opponents. Is this really the best use of our police resources? Can we really afford to imprison mostly harmless, nonviolent potheads?

Only if we privatize our prisons?

But wait, who then pays the owners of the prison? Taxpayers?

I :heartpump Vermont for many, many reasons.

One reason is that you can go about naked if you want.

I like a state with a sense of humor.

Poultney is my backyard

You must have a big back yard.

That's nothing. You should see my front yard!

By the way, fff, I'm going to be in Putney first week of September. Currently in Milwaukee, then Chicago-Detroit-Denver-Haiti-Putney. Is that a good bicycling area?

Putney? Poultney. ;)

Putney - near Brattleboro.

Yeah, I know where Putney is but 3foot was talking about Poultney.

edit, OK, I clicked your link, you got it. nevermind

Members of female Russian punk band Pussy Riot found guilty on charges of hooliganism. A plea deal was reached late afternoon on Thursday: charges of shenanigans and tomfoolery (each carrying mandatory minimum sentences of 20 stonings) were dropped in exchange for the guilty verdict to hooliganism.

Hooliganism carries a maximum sentence of 7 years in prison.

Raskolnikov has nothing on Pussy Riot.

Under the Soviet regime, they would've been sent to the gulag for 25+. Or just raped and then shot.

But after all this time, this is how the courts view free speech. Oh yeah, free speech - we don't have that here. :right:
Russia has had so many centuries of oppression, it's an integral part of the culture. Only the players change; the roles remain the same.

I have been following this. I'm not going to say what they did was right, or even very smart. But that should have garnered, at most, a minor summons and a fine.

The Soviet Union isn't yet dead and gone.

Alrighty then! Soooooooo...

HOOLIGANISM! TOMFOOLERY! SHENANIGANS! HI JINKS! CAPER! MONKEY BUSINESS! HANKY-PANKY!

Looks like female Russian punk band Pussy Riot will be singing the blues and doing the jailhouse rock. They may have to change their name to Stray Pussy.

Wow.

Having seen them "performing" on TV, I'd say hooliganism is about the one crime they haven't committed.

Putin's Russia. Like the old Soviet Union, bit with more oil barons in Mercedes.

The trial.

:rolleyes:

Sometimes I feel like we're headed in that direction.

Free Pussy Riot!

Did someone say free pussy?

For the record, Russian punk music is much like a cheese grater to the ears.

I still support their absolute right to make such noise even so. As long as they aren't harming anyone in the process. Other than deafening them of course. :)

If you listen to what little of their "music" is to be found on youtube, you will note that the performers are flogging, er, playing a couple of guitars and "singing". Also note that although no drums are ever visible, drums can clearly be heard in the sound. Inviso-drums? Always wanted a set of those!

What the fuck?

The cops searched him, twice. They found his marijuana, but not the pistol he was able to reach, while handcuffed and put in the back of the squad car? There is something seriously wrong with what happened here.

Delaware day care workers accused of running toddler fight club

:facepalm:

wait, can I palm their faces instead?

I know who we should send to arrest them.

I'm not even going to post it because I don't want to tread on your unspoken joke.

I think we should hold their heads under water...for just a little while.

No more than 15 minutes, ok?

Works for me.

I'm so cat-centric, all I want to do is cuddle that poor baby.
Hmmmm. When I think of the damage domesticated and tiny Diz does to me on a weekly basis I probably should be sectioned.

You gotta give Martin some credit for the pun...

Missing woman takes part in search for herself. After searching for a while, has a "hey, wait a minute" moment.

Reykjavik Grapevine

And I've been trying my whole life to find myself.

Too funny!

Boomshaka!

I couldn't think of a better thread for this, so it's here.

I'm (not too) seriously considering trying to buy this house. It'd be a great damn ding to my finances (it'd knock at least five years off my Sitting On My Ass Time), but, I'd own Muhammad Ali's house!

I couldn't do anything with the place, too far away to try and rent it out. Couldn't get enough rent to make money on it, plus, it'd be a two hour drive to fix a leaky faucet.

But I'd own Muhammad Ali's house!!!

If I lived in Louisville, this would be a no brainer.

Kind of sad, in a tragi-comic way.

It seems to me that the suit had only a little to do with him getting struck. If you were driving down the road and saw a bush in the road, would you try to avoid it? I would.

It says it was night time and he did this behind a slight bend in the road, so the cars came around the bend in the dark and there he was. Cammo or no cammo, he's likely to be hit.

Often with Gillie Suits it's not so much that they look like a bush as much as they blend with the background. The object[ive] is to not look like an object. ;)

Darwin wins again.

HOT MAPLE SYRUP!

Let's see, now...

Isn't there some way to make alcohol from maple syrple? Homemade rum, maybe?

Maple rum. You've just invented a new drink. It needs its own name though. Not rum.

I love how they've narrowed down the possible location -- "somewhere in west Texas".

I would think normal transport of that device would take place in a well shielded container. Probably a good sized, fairly heavy, container... at least as big as a breadbox. Did they lose the whole thing or just the device?
Our local trash-to-steam incinerator has a thingy that can detect a smoke detector in the middle of a trash truck. I'm sure the military has better stuff, airborne stuff. They must know the route the device should have taken, so it shouldn't be that hard to locate, unless it just rides around in the back of some dude's pickup, and one day it ain't there. I'd assume the announcement it was missing is a cover-your-ass move.

Captain John Hart.
