Vendredi

Pigs in Zen~T't't'talkin'bout da'Peeuuug!


On some ethereal plane...

NOPD baits, waits and gates, the homeless~Richard Webster
~A pack of Kool cigarettes, a can of Budweiser and a box of Boston Baked Beans sat on the dashboard of an unlocked car with the windows rolled down at 1732 Canal St. Somewhere nearby two New Orleans Police Department officers watched and waited for someone to reach into the bait car and snatch the items.
Hat Tip to'da Big Molluski!

~Editilla say Pull My Finger!~I mean this would be so funny if it were not so...BRAZIL? Like, the movie?

I can't get the image out of my mind of: a B/W silent movie with the cops, giddy, snickering at their wit, waiting behind the bushes, hands on a rope that snakes down the street to this car left unlocked and open on Canal Street near a bunch of homeless people...then suddenly the rope jerks a bit, only slightly, then a bit more tautly...and then BANG! And OFF GO our KeyStoned Cops--bouncing and skidding down the street behind the now stolen car which they had left unlocked and open!

I mean does it get any better than this?
Well, yeah, it does--and therein lies da'rub, eh?


And of course yer Editilla will only gat'chilla when they set up another trap --just for the sake of fairness ya'know-- in, say, Metarie? ...at maybe the Mall? What would they put in the front seat of an SUV at a tanning salon? An opened pack of Misty Thins, cans of Red Bull Spritzer and a box of Hot'Pocket Pizzas?
Or in the French Quarter? Hell, there people would probably start to throw money and beads in the car and wait for it to say something...
or the ByWater? Now, that would yield some interesting prey, eh? Snag'em a little Rail Tail with a copy of "Sometimes a Great Notion" a pouch of Bugler and a box of spray paints?

Santa Maria Homebuyers:
Beware of Additional Flood Costs

~Editilla gotta ax'yaz~
Insurance companies and FEMA aren't trying to ram down our throats higher premiums, ghoulishly attempting to use Fear of Future Flooding
as a Shock Prod to force Americans to buy more insurance, eh? Might this be better termed Policy Policing?
When will this connection between the Corps of Engineers rebuilding levees + FEMA drawing flood maps + Insurance Companies setting rates = ANTI-TRUST...or even RICO price-fixing conspiracy? I mean...Damn! Maybe here.

Cleanup suspended at former Diamond Magnesium Co. site, Corps stickin'it up in Painsville
~The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is suspending the cleanup of radioactive contamination at a Painesville Township industrial site. The Exquixotic Corps had to halt the cleanup when funding ran out. D'OH!

Well, t'ank you, Big Molluski!
Glad to help. It is when you are hungry for something and you just don't know what it is...and it ain't a Ritz Cracker!
