crazy courtroom behavior

I saw something strange in the news today…

Man apologizes for courtroom feces

DULUTH, Minn. – A Chicago man apologized for spreading his feces around a courtroom during his trial on drug charges. …

“Im going to take full responsibility for everything I did in Duluth,” Willis told the court. “I want to apologize for everything I did in court. Im sorry, your honor.”

He asked Judge David Sullivan to put him on probation. Sullivan told Willis his actions wouldn’t be held against him, but there was no reason to depart from sentencing guidelines.

The article leaves out way too much information here.  Why was he doing this?  And why weren’t his actions held against him?  I would expect him to get into some kind of trouble for that.

decorating for Halloween

A couple of us here are talking about helping a friend decorate for Halloween.  He’s just not getting into it very much, but we’ve got the ultimate plan.  Picture this :

A jack o’lantern made of poop… then set on fire…

How cool would that be?  You’d have the Halloween colors : black and orange.  And it would certainly amuse the local trick-or-treaters.  🙂

We told our friend about this, but he’s unable to see how cool this would be, so we might just surprise him that night with it, by putting it in on his front porch when it starts getting dark.

game of throwing paper

If you get bored at work, so bored that you’d like to throw paper wads at a trash can, this is the game for you.  There’s no mess and less risk of you getting caught.  It’s kinda neat, because the fan gets moved around so the wind changes direction and speed, making each throw unique.  You can throw a good curveball when the wind gets over 5.

Your score is based on how many you’ve made consecutively.  I played a couple of games and got up to 28.

how to fix the border problem

One of my friends, who I call Rey Del Baño, came up with an innovative solution for building the wall on the border between the United States and Mexico to keep illegal immigrants from crossing.  Since the problem is who will pay for it and who will do it, we could just hire illegal immigrants to build it!  That would save millions of dollars, and be very ironic.  Then the people who want a wall will be happy, and the people who want to help the illegal immigrants would be happy.  Just make sure the illegal immigrants are building the wall from the Mexico side…  🙂
