9-1-1, commentary, Humor, News, Personal 9-1-1 marijuana, Connecticut, Farmington, Robert Michelson 2 Comments
21 year old Robert Michelson of Farmington, Connecticut called 9-1-1 to ask if he would get in trouble for having a marijuana plant. The 9-1-1 call can be heard at KFSN TV ABC30’s website, here.
The answer was “yes”. He has the right to remain silent. He should have availed himself of that right before calling 9-1-1. Apparently Robert is not one of the brighter lights of the Farmington area.
He might have gotten away with it, if he’d only used a pre-paid or basic model cell phone. Those can’t be traced. He used, apparently, his wired phone at home. We know EXACTLY where those phones are…
Think of the dumbest question someone might ask a 9-1-1 operator (other than the one Robert asked), and I can assure you someone has already asked it of a dispatcher recently. You’ve heard about the chicken nuggets lady, I’m sure. Or the Whopper not done his way guy. People will call about anything. Most do not end up in jail.
The oddest thing I’ve been asked on 9-1-1?
“When is the fog going to be turned off?”
What’s YOUR emergency??

JimmieJoe as Toto? I did a bit of a double take, too!
The local newspaper, The Visalia Times-Delta, has, as many online portals for media do, a section available for people to post blogs. Recently, the editor asked for people what their favorite romantic movie was. One blog poster chose “The Wizard of Oz”. As is wont of many bloggers, it triggered other thoughts, and inspired a blog.
In this blog, found here, LittleDharma wonders who among the regular posters on the VTD’s site would play various roles if cast into the movie version of The Wizard of Oz.
I won the coveted role of Toto, Dorothy’s lovable if somewhat easily distracted dog. Here’s what LittleDharma said about casting me as Toto:
Then we have the precious role of Toto, Dorothy’s dog. This part is played by Jim93277. Don’t laugh! I gave this a lot of thought. Jim knows who bark at and who to leave alone. A prudent man … er dog. Jim is just the guy who will lift his leg and give the villains a squirt on their spats. While intelligent, he still needs Dorothy to remind him, “Toto, we’re not in Kansas any more.” Hope he squirts on the Wicked Witch of the West.
I’m getting a big kick out of this one. Read the entire blog here.
UPDATE: 2/1/11 The Times-Delta has pulled the blog, “reviewing” it! Someone must have taken offense, and clicked the “report abuse” button about a gazillion times. Put it back, TD.

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.
