Hmmm. Well, that didn’t go so well. A dude stole some cough drops and a bottle of Schnapps from a store and ran out. He ran and hid, only he hid in the police station. It didn’t take long before he was found, and he was already drunk.

New Echo Changes
I just noticed that Echo has tweaked itself a wee touch. Now, you have choices when you follow a comment thread. When you click follow, a set of radio buttons appears. The choices are never in this stream, replies to my comment, or any new items posted to this stream. For some dumb reason, it …
A Strong Reaction To Mints
I saw this story when I was writing about those other school-related overreactions, and somehow missed including it in the roundup. But then again, I would have had to come up with a new allitteration for the title. There was a horrible scare at Booker T. Washington School in Birmingham, Alabama. Someone thought that a …
The Blackberry Skitter
After the burial of Oratio I linked to last week, I was very interested when the same site posted an interview with Michel Pepin of Humanware, all about Oratio. Ok, what is up with this guy. Is half the problem that French is his first language? He does a lot of stammering and stuttering, and …
Brings A Whole New Meaning To Pounding The Pavement
That would be an odd exchange. A truck approached a woman to ask about buying some pavement from her. I guess the driver was ok, but then the passenger, Billie Bobbie Harrison, went a little nuts. He started making sexual comments, then exposed himself to the woman and offered to pave her driveway in exchange …

Hot On The Trail…Mix Of A Good Story
And we thought Jonathan G. Parker was dumb. Just have a look at Stephan Crane. He got a little boozed up, and decided to go visit his sister. But he couldn’t get in. After trying to come in through her window, he spied a copy of the Ravalli Republic in the hall outside her apartment, …
A Little Tip For Anyone On A Mailing List
Ok, it’s time for me to go off on a rant. I’m on a big mailing list to do with blinks and gadgetry. It’s called blindtech. I think we have about 1200 people on the list from all around the world. I say that list never sleeps, because it doesn’t. There’s always someone up writing …

That’s One Sick Puppy
This whole situation seems weird, but the weirdest part of it is Nicholas R. Hubbard. He decided to trade his computer for a puppy. What an odd trade. I guess I can sort of see it. Some puppies are worth a few hundred bucks, and instead of money, he gave her the computer. But then …
Robin Hood: Men In Jail
This guy sure isn’t the quickest identity-thieving bunny in the forest. He didn’t want to be arrested, he had warrants out for him. So he went and found another dude’s wallet, picked it up, and pretended to be him. Then, he shoplifted, and was arrested. Uh, if you don’t want to be arrested, how about …
Teaching Tool Trefecta
I saw three depressing examples of the kind of toolchests that are serving as authority figures in schools last week. I’ve noticed them ever since it took a supreme court to decide that strip searching that kid over ibuprofen was not ok. I’ve been meaning to write about them all week, but they kept getting …
