Topical Chat, December 28, 2005

I won’t be around for the rest of this week, so I wanted to get one more of these in for you “diehards.”

1. On a man who was arrested in Iowa for allegedly lobbing urine bottles into backyards:
“Man, the neighbors must’ve been pissed … get it?”

2. On two fires breaking out in the same block of guest rooms within one hour at a hotel in Mississippi:
“Maybe they should incorporate the help of that urine thrower.”

3. On a man in a Santa Claus suit being arrested after beating a street sign:
“Santa was upset with the ‘No Reindeer Parking’ zone.”

4. On a Christmas tree in Louisiana that was decorated in Cajun, beer bottles and even hair rollers:
“I’m guessing there probably were a few NASCAR logos as well?”

5. On developers saying that Hayward, California suffers from poor Feng Shui because of street address rules:
“BRAVO immediately contacted the mayor to set up ‘Queer Eye for the Straight Town.’”

6. On a Rhode Island man who is running for three political seats at the same time, saying he believes there is an absence of leadership in elected office:
“Shocking statements – absence of leadership in government????? Can’t be. This guy is blazing new trails with a comment like that.”

7. On more than 100 people in France receiving erroneous letters from their pension fund asking them to pay more than 2 billion euros -- that's $2.37 billion U.S. in dues:
“Finally, the French ‘work ethic’ or lack thereof has caught up with them.”

8. On a 49-year-old who is vying for the U.S. Olympic speed skating team:
“Ummm…..he may have missed the boat …. By only 30 years.”
