I heard about this on NPR last night. I’m listening to a lot of NPR lately, on account of it’s the station I get best and I’m doing lots of painting after work. Sob.

The cool thing about picking up news from NPR is knowing the Moronosphere won’t have been listening.

I bet to get interest (i.e. to be made popular and placed on the front page) on digg.com he’d’ve had to link it to stories about how Macs are greater than PCs, how America is a ‘z0mg teh fascist statez!!1!LOL’, how Bush is both a knuckledragging simpleton and an evil genius simultaneously, and how Obama is the new Jesus…wait, scrap that – Obama is the original Jesus (he was a poor, black Palestinian living under evil Israeli occupation, right?), and so on.
Anyway, I’m glad he got his Xbox back. (Xbox or Xbox360?)
He does – from what I can tell – look a bit like George Harrison if he’d been momentarily subjected to vacuum…and was still alive obviously. In other words, if you looked like that, you’d have a hair’style’ that covered half of your face too.
I bet that T-shirt stinks.

What isn’t clear from the weasel noir photograph is that the eye-covering lock of hair is bright magenta. Oh, he made the front page, he did.

Totally emo. McGoo might be able to corroborate.

Sometimes I despair how criminals get away with crimes, but then society evolves different ways of pursuing criminals.

Good, heart-warming story with which to start the day. Thank you!

Take an artiste break Stoaty.

What a great site, NB! I want me one of these lamps! The brain one, I think.

A brainy lamp to put into a nice window in your new
home…wonder how that would work as a stoop light at the
front entrance…

Oh my. McGoo, I hope the last x-ray is not yours.

Reassuring to learn that the US police, too, have taken to redefining burglary as a non-crime.

I thought it was just our PC PCs that had done that.

No, our police don’t bother much with burglary. I’m surprised they took fingerprints, frankly. We’re better off with judges, though: if by any wild chance a thief is caught, there are usually consquences.

Yeah, but many of us have the power to take care of the burglars ourselves – if we catch them in the act. If we shoot ’em dead or smash their skulls, the cops will just make a report and take the body away.

PnB! How many time I gotta say it: that’s an exit, not an entrance!

Reminds me of a Jackass Movie episode: A JA guy went into emergency with a little matchbook car up a his wazoo in Japan. That’s where I got the idea of complaining to japanese medical folks (online) that I had a six-foot feather boa stuck up my ass.

Good times!

I’d read somewhere several years ago that the British police “counted” crimes differently than here in the States. If – say – a burglar robs 20 houses over a period of many days, they were all considered ONE crime. This allowed them to downplay the numbers to the public. A new Police Commissioner (or whatever) put a stop to the practice, after they got caught at it.

PnB! How many time I gotta say it: that’s an exit, not an entrance!

Did you note the titanium knob? You coulda swallowed the bottle in one of your incredible thirst episodes you know. 😉

Holy sheep shit! I didn’t see that, PnB! No! Not me! That’s an old staleness style. Mine is the new hotness.

Whoever that is, they’re giving a bad name to titanium knobs everywhere! They should be stripped of their knobs and made to limp home with the flaccid remains of their leg dangling uselessly.

Sadly, my father has the flaccid remains of a leg. His titanium knob didn’t take. They had to remove it.

He was going to make a walking stick out of it, but those things are *heavy*.

He’s still hobbling around pretty good for a very old dude with one hip.

Ha! Check out this Photoshop! Man, that’s beautifully done. I wish I’d thought of it.

Every time I see hair like that I want to push someone’s face in.

LOL…I saw that picture last week somewhere….either Ace’s or VtheK. I love it.

Awww…sadly, it looks like the guy who did that P’shop is a moonbat.

Thanks Stoaty – God that was a fun read. Little disappointed in the “Protect and to Serve” crowd’s underwhelming response but per’aps they were out “catching bad guys”, nevermind that bad guys out there probably engaged in this form of assholery at some point in their lives, too.

Goes to show you, that if you steal anything more high tech than a paperclip or a highlighter, someone might be able to track you down if they are so inclined. Bears thinking about… hmmm.

Those teddy bear skulls are a riot. The thing with McCain, Obama, and Hil… looks like business as usual.

Speaking of moonbats, check out this Foreign Relations Committee hearing on Iraq from yesterday. (There’s a Windows Media Player doodad on there too if you don’t have Realplayer.)
Code Pink members are in the audience, behind the military personnel giving testimonies. God knows how they have the restraint not to turn around, grab one of the Code Pink members by the face and shove their stupid pink tiaras down their quixotic throats.

Weaz, I remembered your story about your dad and his titanium knob not taking. I was really worried about that before I had mine done until the Doc reassured me.

Heh. I saw that p-shop the other day somewhere around the ‘sphere.

Got infected, so that could happen in any surgery.

Yep. Supposedly, they have that kind of crap reduced to a minimum now. But I figure it’s simply the roll of the dice. I got lucky. Or I stayed lucky. Whatever.

The sad part was that nobody believed him. He was in so much pain he couldn’t get out of bed and they thought he was just being a pussy about it.

That’s terrible. Hate to say it – mine was damned near painless, mainly because I was having fun abusing serious opiates.

They used to have a lot more trouble with post-surgery bone infection than now. Part of the trick is they get in and out in an hour. It used to take 3-4 hours. That’s a long time to expose living bone marrow to air.

Taking a night off from painting? You deserve it. Have a drink! Roll one. Turn on the wireless. Play with the cats.

Nah. Writing an obit 🙂

Somebody I know has had *six* titanium knobs, and he’s just been told he has to go knobless from now on, like my dad. At a guess, he got a few bad ones in the early days. Now the socket is so worn out they won’t do another.

They’ve gotten MUCH better with time.

God, that sucks. That upper bone can only take so many chunks of metal rammed into it. Mine is doing fine, so far as I know.

By the time my grandkids that I don’t have are old, they’ll be able to clone the actual joint assembly and replace the original equipment with OEM parts. that’ll be nice.

Sorry about the obit. Hope it’s not too painful.
