Talk of the town
Sunday, July 20, 2008
A presumably young man called police to report that his mother was withholding his stimulus check. This is pure American economics at work. No money for Nerf balls, Lite-Brite and record albums until you clean your room, little mister. At that doesn't mean just tossing dirty clothes into the closet.
All-Star game
The finest talent in major league baseball on display and what it came down to was a matter of who wanted to lose the most. Fifteen ugly innings of blown scoring opportunities, rookie-style errors and the play-by-play people running dry on baseball clichés. Fortunately, in the bottom half of the 15th inning, Josh Hamilton came forth, held up his arms and parted the base paths so that his teammates could simply tumble to the plate. He really is the Chosen One, you know.
Beer run
On Sunday, a College Street apartment was broken into and a 40-ounce bottle of Natural Lite swiped from the refrigerator. Police are searching for a suspect who enjoys a fast buzz but who is watching his figure.
More trouble with low-calorie beverages
Police also went to Warren Avenue for reports of gunfire and found a soda bomb that had gone off inside a car. Until the sale of Mentos and Diet Coke are regulated by the government, it's pretty much war in the streets.
Hisssssssss
Remember that song "Union of the Snake," by Duran Duran? Not a bad sound. They really had some decent stuff in spite of the lame hair and overplay on the radio. Music that you might have hated back in the '80s suddenly sounds good if you listen to it today. Of course, it could be simple nostalgia for the music that served as the soundtrack to your early life. But anyway, what was I saying? Right. Snakes. Be careful when you reach into your washing machine because there's probably a python in there.
