Naked Man Running…

Leave a comment

Sometimes things just come out on the radio…

This started out as a deputy checking out a car parked in a rural field.  The car took off, through the field, refusing to stop.  The driver decides to dump the car and run, and this is what we hear –

Turns out it was a couple of 16 year olds trying to have a bit of fun.  Our young man might want to consider a new girlfriend, however.    He’s running through the countryside naked,  she gave him up without batting an eyelash, and her folks had to come pick her up.  Not a good night for him.  He’ll have a hell of a story to tell his grandkids, though.

Here’s a little longer version, with the Lieutenant chiming in on what is going on –

 

The Most Dangerous Thing About Your iPhone

1 Comment

The most dangerous thing about your iPhone isn’t the radiation.  It’s not the risk of being smacked in the nose for being a techno-snob because you just HAD to have the latest and greatest.  Not even the risk of letting your friends see just how they rank when you are busy texting someone else instead of talking to them!   No, the biggest danger of them all is this…

<<<—-

This damned game, “words with friends” has taken over.  I won’t say everyone at work is playing it, that would imply we’re… they’re… not doing our…  their jobs, and that’s clearly not what’s going on.

Right now, as I write this, I should be in bed, zzzzzzzzzzzzz-ing to wake the band. But I’m not.  I’m playing this absurd game.  Notice the picture?  The blank tile could be an “a”, then all you would need is a “d” for… absurd!

Okay.  I’m going to put the phone down, and go to bed, any cute little chime tones indicating it’s my turn be damned!

BTW, my user name is “Coptalker”.  Feel free to start a game.  Warning, though… I keep odd hours.  If I don’t respond right off, it might be because I’m sleeping.  Like I should be right now.  Good night.

ET Exonerated; Cow Deaths Not Work of UFOs, or Black Helicopters

The Huffington Post Travis Walter Donovan

200 cows that were found dead in Wisconsin on January 14 were not killed by aliens, black helicopters, or a cow-tipping prank gone horribly wrong.  After lab analysis of the dead animals and samples of their feed, officials are reporting that moldy sweet potatoes caused the cows to suffer from pneumonia, quickly causing their deaths.

Officials say this is not the first time sweet potato mold has killed farm animals.  While rare, it does happen from time to time.  Here‘s the Huffington Post article.

…  yeah.  That’s what they WANT you to believe!  The truth after the jump!

I’m Still Waiting For My Flying Car.

This is what I grew up expecting to drive by the time I was George Jetson’s age.

The fact that most flying cars today are variations on this is not acceptable.

Don’t even get me started on moving sidewalks, and starships!

Should I Be Worried?

1 Comment

It makes me wonder, sometimes.

Today, while doing some of my Editorial chores at QueerNetworks, I noticed a search engine term that landed someone on QueerVisalia.  Some of the entries make me wonder at times just what is going on in some people’s minds.

I’ve seen things like “Jim Reeves gay porn star” (yeah, there is a gay porn actor with the stage name Jim Reeves. It’s not me. Really.  He’s hot. And hung.), and “Jim Reeves gay” (if they’re asking about me, the answer is “yes”. If about the porn actor, still “yes”. If the country-western singer of the late 50’s and early 60’s, “no”, as far as I know.).

Today’s search engine query was “Jim Reeves crimes”.  Now that has me a bit scared.  Especially since the link in the return brought them to QueerVisalia.com!
