AZCentral has a pretty good collection of the events around the murders...err, accidental explosion, they put together: https://www.azcentral.com/story/new...ther/772539002/

E; The fact that he claims he dodged 6 bullets at point blank range whilst in bed is pretty drat suspect. At first I though he was much younger when it happened, but he was 18. His sister's skull was allegedly caved in as well, which he says happened when his mom wheeled around and hit her accidentally with the butt of the rifle she was trying to kill him with. If anything I'm inclined to believe his mom was the good guy with the gun and she lost, which kind of fucks up his argument.

i rewatched home alone (dvd copy) last christmas and it was a bit :wtf: when he visited the WTC. I couldn't remember that scene.

Later I found out they cut that part from future TV broadcasts which I think is weird and unnerving. IIRC they didn't cut the WTC from old episodes of friends when they do those skyline panoramas between scenes.

When my grandpa died, my aunt decided to help memorialize him by turning his shirts into pillows. She created at least four of them and mailed them to my family - one for each of us.

I'm not superstitious, but I can't use the things. At all. Thank goodness Dad understood and didn't force the gift on me. We still haven't told my aunt how weird those things are.

There's something just - profoundly creepy to me about doing that with a dead person's clothes. So of course there's a bunch of them up on pinterest.

I figure clothes probably shouldn't be wasted if they fit someone. My old boss gave me all his dad's shirts after he died. They were my size and pertnear in perfect condition, also a drat sight nicer than the t-shirts I owned at the time. I still wear em'. I hope when I die someone gives my shirts to someone who needs shirts. I won't mind. I can understand not wanting a deceased family member's clothing though.

Yeah. I'd be fine with his stuff going to a thrift store or what have you, but, ergh. I don't want them. It doesn't help that they're specifically that style of shirt you only see old men wear, so it's like, I cannot mistake them for anything but my grandpa's clothing.

I wore my Grand-dad's old Army Jacket for years after he died. It made me feel like he was still a part of my life.

Edit: the only reason I stopped wearing it is because I got fat after I got married.

I still have and occasionally wear my grandpa's thin khaki jacket, which dates back to at least the 80s (that's the farthest back my mom remembers him wearing it, but it could easily be older and was made and purchased in India I think). I also have my dad's motorcycle jacket, which is the only worthwhile thing I got from him after his very deserved death from alcoholism (he was an awful person).

You know what's unnerving? Tornadoes! I know this even more now because I'm one of those saps who lives in Marshalltown, Iowa which is now famous in news sources outside of Iowa for the first time in probably decades and decades.

My house is fine. My neighborhood has nary a stick in it. Power and Internet still work. Meanwhile, a mile away and Main Street is devastated. The hospital is taking people out to other towns and is doing triage. I was eating in a restaurant. Sirens were going off but we in the Midwest ignore them all the time now, which is disturbing and yet something natural when sirens are required to go off if a tornado goes off anywhere in the county even if we see nothing. There was no rain or hail or wind and then calm or any of the signs except for a dark sky. Suddenly, the manager comes up and goes, "There's a tornado right outside." We hide in the bathroom except I didn't think it was that bad. So I go outside and see this:



It's going by and at first we think it was forming, as it was still swirling. But no, it was just slowly fizzing out from the monster up above.

We have now been declared a state of emergency with a curfew. I tried to go back into the mess to see about my mom's cousin, whose house I had just left barely 45 minutes earlier. I couldn't get to it, too many completely uprooted trees in the middle of the street, as well as traffic, and cops who had started to block things off. There are cars that have disappeared. I wonder where they landed. Another one of my mom's cousins had a neighbor's bathroom scale land in his yard but he can't find his mailbox. The skies turned blue less than a half hour later. As they always say with disasters: The day started off so normal.

If that thing had come out of nowhere in the middle of the night, there would probably untold amount of casualties. I've lived in the Midwest for twenty years and have never seen something like this. Usually there's supposed to be warning signs even if they come upon you. Nothing. Just bam here it is. I would rather deal with hurricanes.

I took a poo poo during a tornado once. Now granted I was unaware of my proximity to the tornado. The power was out and cellphones had no service. I was in the downstairs cupboard with my wife and really had to poo poo. So I ran upstairs and started making GBS threads and then the tornado hit. It blew the a/c window units into the house and took out some windows. Most harrowing poo poo of my life.

The BBC article implies that he claimed he had killed her in self-defense, which I assume was the basis for that plea. I'm not sure how the bizzies got there that fast though, even with callerID.

Bonus: "Following the verdict, former politician Bill Mountford told BBC Suffolk he still considered Searle "a friend", adding "these things happen".
