More Things to Worry About

Updates: (1) Larry Swearingen, scheduled to be executed in Texas on Tuesday [NOTW Daily, 1-26-2008], was given a stay, but by a federal court, of course, because Texas judges have said, We're done here. (2) Five of the "Beatrice 6" (who confessed, or pleaded guilty, to a murder DNA said they probably didn't commit [NOTW M091, 1-4-2009]) were exonerated and released. The sixth defendant, not so much. (3) The Hon. Marion Barry of the District of Calamity, who largely put the "Calamity" in the District of Calamity, and who is still on probation for not filing income tax returns for 1999-2004 (and who then immediately violated probation by not filing them for 2005), has now failed to file them for 2007.

Scooby Doo- one of my all-time favs and I've turned my son onto it as well. Can't blame the guy. I hope I don't get burgled!

White Bear Lake - I really would have guess that 2 feet of ice isn't enough to support 60 tons, but I am proved wrong. Wow.
Israeli voters - "improved social conditions" and "the legalisation of cannabis" seems to me like they would naturally go together
Crystal Keith - no mug shot *sigh* :(
Marion Barry - the was things go in DC it looks like he's on the fast track to the next presidency

White Bear Lake - I can't believe he paid $40k to move his house across the lake, knowing the risks. Plus, the house doesn't look like it's worth much more than that...
Crystal Keith - I've often confused the look of hunger in a 1-year-old's eyes for a look of LUST. NOT. Sick perv.
Drug money - thank god there's still one business that's still booming.

Crystal Keith: one part of the story sticks in my head.
("She did recall placing (the girl's) feet under hot water because the (striking) was no longer effective," the report says.
"She said she did that until the child's skin began to bubble. She said that she made sure that (the girl) wore socks so that Reginald would not see the injuries.)
As a single father, I have had the extreme unpleasant experience of putting my daughter in the tub when the water was a little too hot. It only resulted in her foot being a little red, which went away after a few minutes, but the painful scream she gave me that day still sticks with me 7 years later.
I can't imagine what that poor child went through and it makes my blood boil when I think about it. And then she put socks over her feet! Clearly shows that she knew what she was doing was wrong. Clearly a broken person who needs to be removed from the human experience in the worst way.

Scooby Doo -- Sorry mrjazz, but I think you're steering your son the wrong way. The victim was a 28 year old man with an "extensive collection" of crap relating to a kids' cartoon? Guaranteed he lived at home in his parents' basement.

drug money needing to be laundered
And if pot was legalized, the banks probably wouldn't have had the problems...oh, wait...no, that's not right. We just wouldn't have cared.

BikerPuppy - After seeing how much all of my old Star Wars toys (that my parents threw out after I moved out) were going for on Ebay, I have started collecting toys that will undoubtably be collector items. I try to buy 2, one for my son to play with and one kept in the packaging for me to keep until he is old enough to appreciate collector items. Granted they are not on display (40 year old virgin) but I also do not live in my parents basement.

Your parents threw out your Star Wars toys? Damn Maxx your family sucks!

Maxx, maybe it's just me, but I see a huge difference between buying SW toys as a possible investment and storing them somewhere, and having SD stuff all over your house and vehicle. I'm pretty sure this guy had display cases. Or maybe it's just cause I like SW....
Posted by BikerPuppy on 01/29/09 at 03:28 PM
It's not just Star Wars toys. :red:
In my defense, they are not on display.

thanks for the support maxx...all I bought were a few DVD's!!!!
and just like myself, at age 18 my kid will be on his own one way or another. the LAST thing I will be accused of is being an enabler.

mrjazz - there's nothing like smoking a joint and then sitting back to watch some Scooby-Doo. Johnny Quest is pretty good too. I got the entire collection off of a torrent site.
Posted by Madd Maxx on 01/29/09 at 03:54 PM
agreed. right now I'm into Phineas and Ferb too. very well written.
my all-time favorite is the Herculoids (got tattoos!) and now my son is hooked on watching them on youtube.
by the way...on my next vacation I'm heading to Milwaukee to skin Crystal Keith with an x-acto knife. (if the other inmates don't beat me to it)

Crystal Keith : I'm at a loss at how all this happened. And people wonder why I take such a grim view on life.
