Today's WTF?

Saw this:

Police: Couple Took Toddler On Smoked-Out Joyride

A man and a woman were arrested Sunday on child neglect and drug possession charges after police said they admitted driving in circles on Indianapolis' west side while smoking marijuana.

And immediately had this song going through my head:

All he needed was a soundtrack:

'Nuf Said

It Won't Be The Same

I have to be honest and say that I'm a bit sad over Mu'ammar al-Qaḏḏāfī's passing. Here's what I mean. Check out one of the pictures from the article, Colonel Qaddafi—A Life in Fashion:



Style. And all the witty things he's said.

So much lost. I had always thought he should end up like this:

Same Old Advice From The "Only Ones"

Same old same old from the "Only Ones:"

Police: Customer Opens Fire On Armed Robbery Suspect

A customer standing in line at a west side Indianapolis auto parts store shot a suspected armed robber demanding cash, police said.

That's heartening. And the police response? Something like, "Yes, we are seldom able to make it to a robbery in progress so we appreciate the fact that citizens can legally defend themselves." Oh no. It's the usual:

"This is a rare occurrence, and I would encourage anyone who finds themselves in a position where a robbery may be occurring to actually comply with what the suspect is asking for. This is not typical. However, in this particular situation, it seems to have worked out for everyone involved,” [Indianapolis metro police spokeswoman Catherine] Cummings said.

So Ms. Cummings, if I should find myself in a more common occurrence and I'm armed I should still let the robbers herd me and the others into a back room where we'll likely be told to kneel and executed with a shot in the back of the head? And this will help the situation how?

This stunned me:

It's like, this sort of thing NEVER happens! Will Indiana University follow suit?

Golden Years

One of my daily routines is to peruse LifeHacker. Today I saw this:

And was creeped out by this part:

"Move In with Grandma - Not your grandma, necessarily, but possibly somebody's grandma. When you're looking for a roommate, you should consider some unconventional options like the elderly or any assisted living situation. . .Just try to steer clear of living situations that expect a sexual component, as these ads aren't always obvious and can be misleading."

So I sent it to a buddy at work. He doubled the ante by sending back this very apropos clip. Now I'm totally creeped out. And a little urpy, too.
