All right, all right. Enough of the bodily-function blogs. I had no idea how controversial floaters vs. sinkers would be (thanks, Mocha Momma) or that fat floats (thanks, Erik). Then again, I should have known the latter item because I once saw Hadley back in her chubby days act as a buoy in the water….
I don’t know if I’m kinda morbid but I have a great time reading the Police Beat. It started when I was a student at BYU because they were usually the lamest listings (for those not aware, BYU had a serious “Flashing” problem. And I’m not talking about lights). Several years later, I’m hooked again because the local paper really puts out some good descriptors. Here’s the Cliff Notes version of a great one from today’s edition, with my favorites quotes being italicized:
“A snowball hit a school bus window at 9:32 a.m. Dec. 13, according to police reports. The alleged snowball heaving took place near a middle school….The administrator gave an officer the boys’ statements and called in the alleged ice vandal….He was issued a summons for throwing missiles by the officer present and let go.”
Throwing missiles? Ice vandal? Whatever happened to good old fashioned snowball fights? My brothers would be doing serious time right now for all the “alleged ice heavings” I endured for many years.
Equally as impressive in today’s edition was how “Two high school students were found in a compromising position at 10:45 a.m. in the dugout of a school on Allendale….”
I asked myself what a “compromising position” would be. By definition, “compromising” means “A settlement of differences in which each side makes concessions; something that combines qualities or elements of different things.”
From these definitions, I can only assume that these two individuals were:
a) settling a dispute or argument while standing on one leg
b) lost and trying to find their whereabouts with a GPS (Global Positioning System)
c) arguing their baseball field position in the dugout
d) All of the above
Any thoughts?
