Self-crucifying my rear end, look at the picture again.

It was the cat what done it, yer honor.

I love the pose of the cat in that picture. He's totally chilling, practically bored with watching the madman pounding spikes into his hands and feet with a huge mallet. He turns to look at the shrieking woman with the same bored expression.

I'm trying to hunt down some old headlines that were posted on SA-- in one of the paranormal/ghost story threads, I think. I'm still looking but haven't been able to find them.
What they were was perfectly normal headlines, selected from some Canadian news feed database by a goon who worked in I think a newspaper? But he'd save interesting ones and post them on the forums as a collection, so that it implied weird lovecraftian dangers were happening around that part of Canada. It was cool.

Anyone remember those?

Come! We must fly!


quote:

“Ms. Crowe did indeed pull the gun on Mr. Lee because of the way he’d talked to her,” Faulk said. “She said, ‘he was talking mean to me, and I got mad. I guess I just let my temper get the best of me and I pulled my pistol on him’.”

Lee says he told Crowe “to sit her toothless self back down,” and that she then approached the ring.

On Karl Stern's podcast, he told a story of having a call come in of an old man walking out and grabbing a loving axe because the heels pissed him off.

I read his most recent book (probably the first time I had read him in five years) and a lot of it was dumb dad jokes. I'm worried if I go back to his other stuff I won't like him anymore.

I never knew it, and don't know if it was supposed to be a secret, but I was stunned when I found out he was the guy behind profootballmock.com (i.e., the site with the facebook conversations between quarterbacks) the day he said he was done with it.

Grew up in Florida and read his stuff as a kid. He penned a long, scathing political article about the city government back around '96 or so. Wrote that at least if the mob was in charge, we'd have competent crooks running the place.

I fondly remember his articles on telemarketers and the Do Not Call list.

http://m.deseretnews.com/article/515036176/Feel-poor-telemarketers-pain.html?pg=all

tl,dr: he published the number of one telemarketing company and they had to shut it down from all the calls they recieved from the public.
