If there’d only been a urinal trough he might not’ve been Grilled (030110)
I got nothin to say, really, but we need a new Grill and this seemed right up our, um, alley:
50-year-old Roy Messenger was not seriously hurt after he collided with a power pole Friday and called a relative to pull his car from a ditch.
However, family members found Messenger electrocuted when they arrived.
(Grey’s Harbor County Sherriff Deputy) Pimentel says Messenger apparently urinated into a roadside ditch but didn’t see the live wire. The urine stream likely served as a conductor, allowing the electricity to reach his body.
Pimentel says there will be an autopsy but burn marks indicated the way the electricity traveled through Messenger’s body.
Nice headline.
Only three more shopping days for you!
You human … paraquat! You figured “Oh, here’s a loser,” you know? A deadbeat, someone the square community won’t give a shit about.
(OK, yes, occasionally there’s an item of interest at Slate.)

Jeez. Anyone else’s work firewall been having problems with yieldmanager? I can’t get sfgate main page, or any links to the merc, to work. At work.
Absolutely perfect weather in the East Bay today. I spent the day prancing about with a song in my heart.

Opposite day.
From here:
Is SlimyScaley saying it’s not a crime to do any bad thing? How is it he defines “crime,” anyhow?
up
I think he’s suggesting that the law is overly broad.
up
The law is overbroad. But those fuckers have no problem with Gang charges that are similarly overbroad, nor do they care about any other fucking jury that is bias against the accused. This court will only interfere with rich white people convictions because they “empathize” with the defendant.
up
For Anthony SlimyScales.

I did not intend to defend in any way Scalia’s jurisprudence.
up
I went to a thing, the guy giving to updates had a theory that Scalia was a troll, just saying the most ridiculous things to see if he could get banned.
Today a co-worker of mine, a Giants fan, even, brought me one of these fine shirts:
Available from the fine folks at Oaklandish for a mere $20. I’m wearing mine Opening Night.
up
Only youth and small still available. Tease.

Dang, those’ll be too big for me.
So, no link to the news, but I found out that my cousin is going to be in the next Tony Hawk game. That’s pretty freakin’ cool.

Yawn. Let me know if they sent him back in time and put him in “Skate or Die.”

Christ, what a skate role!

up
Oh yeah. I married a Petaluma girl. Divorced a Petaluma WHORE!!!!
up
What did you do to her? Pimp?
up
no, I was just trying to be funny, in a Sam Kenison kind of way, but that’s rather pathetic. Most of you know I’ve still got a pretty good relationship with my ex.
up
I know. I was equally “trying” to be “funny” and “failing” at “it”. How’s she holding up btw?
up
she’s…taken to stealing. Which is her way of compensating, I suppose.
up
As friendly and good your relationship is with her, I’m thinking the two of you apart is sounding like an even better thing.
up
yes, she’s pretty cwazy.
but that’s kind of a prerequisite for me, apparently.
up
See, people who don’t realize or won’t admit that they’re crazy scare me more than people who freely admit it and just don’t give a shit and go with it. I tend to like the latter much better.
up
People who are oblivious to their craziness are scarier.
up
To me it depends on the type and degree of craziness.
up
Well sure. There’s crazy and then there’s CccRaZzzY!!

You know, I’ve never heard that song before, but I think you’ve enriched my life by introducing it to me.

In appreciation, you should recommend JediLeroy to the Spirit in the Sky.
