Taken 10/31/06, one of the last nice fall days we’ll have this year…I added some vignetting to a couple images but other than that they’re pretty much as shot.

    “The Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office said that they responded to the 7000 block of South Locust Circle on a report of a robbery at about 8:45 p.m. and when they did, they found that a 14-year-old boy had been robbed of his Halloween candy.

    The victim said that he was with his friend trick-or-treating when they were approached by two girls. The girls wanted their candy and began assaulting them, the boy said.

   During a search for the girls, deputies found three more victims. The teens were described as heavy-set girls about 16 or 17 years old. They were wearing a red hooded sweatshirt and black and white face paint. One girl had blonde hair and the other had darker hair, the victims said.”

Add this to my irrational fear of sitting next to the 2-fer on a transcontinental flight

Happy “World Vegan Day” I shit you not. So prepare yourself for long shrieking lectures on your choice of food by privileged white kids every where, who are obviously superior to you. My question is when is National Beat a Vegan up day?

Sen. Allen (R-VA) orders mob hit on left wing wacko. Don’t talk about a man’s ex-wife and expect not to get body-slammed by his 50 year old enforcer/political consultant. So either you vote for a bigot who spits on his wife or Mr. In-the-Navy-now who writes about dirty Vietnamese sex.

Which brings up the point that election day is indeed 6 days away so don’t forget to vote for your local liberty party candidate.

The War on Pirates(TM) continues today as 10 pirates were convicted of kidnapping 16 Indian fishermen. Unfortunately US Naval forces apprehended them in international waters. If the waters ain’t international then what the fuck’s the point?

“Ten Somalis have been sentenced to seven years in jail for piracy and hijacking by a Kenyan court.

The men were arrested earlier this year by the US Navy which responded to a reported hijack off the Somali coast.

The pirates had maintained they were fisherman and had not held 16 crew members of an Indian ship for ransom.

Somalia’s coastline is one of the world’s worst areas for piracy, but incidents have declined since the Islamic courts rose to power in June.” [BBC]

So the new vacation hot spot is *shakes magic 8-ball* Iran!

“Iran’s tourism department will pay $20 per person to those who attract European or American tourists to the country,” the agency on Tuesday quoted Mohammed Sharif Malakzadeh, deputy head of the department, as saying.

Visitors from other countries would earn travel agents $10 per tourist, Malakzadeh said.”

And when am i gonna be able to buy fresh pumpkin pie at Price Chopper? Anyone?

Ok, so maybe this picture isn’t funny, per se, but it is pretty freaking cute. Doesn’t that count for something? I swear, I’ll stop with the cutesy photos sometime soon, I just haven’t had much else to post about.

"DALLAS (AP) – Muffins that made 18 staff members at a Dallas-area high school ill contained the active ingredient found in marijuana, Dallas County health department officials said Thursday.

Meanwhile, the FBI released frames from a surveillance video showing a young man delivering the muffins to Lake Highlands High School on Tuesday. The FBI said the man is considered a "person of interest" in the case." Link

I'm think of starting a hazerdous waste company to deal with the "hazerdous" waste?  Whose down?!
