Another Edition of.... What Were You Thinking?

Yes, my bloggee friends...another week of head-shaking, eye-rolling, and OMG-ing over some of the various headlines in this week's new reports.  We have been here before, haven't we?  Wondering what makes some people "tick" is a never ending endeavor.

Let's start with...

Hey, Buddy, That Was a Rhetorical Question!

A couple who this week celebrated their wedding by having sex in public view at a Nebraska park will be spending their honeymoon in separate jail cells after they pleaded guilty yesterday to indecent exposure.

Police arrested Saint Ramirez and his bride Miaya after being summoned to the Oregon Trail Park by a trio of teenagers who reported spotting the duo having sex near “a big pine tree” around 8 PM.

When a Gering Police Department officer drove his cruiser up to the tree, he saw the lusty couple leaning against a tree with their pants down engaging in sex, according to  Officer Michael Modec.

When the officer approached he asked them "what they were doing and  loudly advised them to stop" but  Saint stated that they were having sex and that they were newlyweds.  The pair eventually finished, and  put their pants back on.

According to the report there were a number of people, including children in the vicinity.

After pleading guilty yesterday to public indecency, a misdemeanor, Mr. and Mrs. Ramirez were each sentenced to 30 days in jail.

Is it just me but if I was having sex against a tree in a park and a cop walks up and says, "What do you think you are doing?"  Would you or would you not, assume that is a rhetorical question?  Or if you were the kind of couple that would be having sex in a park, would you or would you not know what the word rhetorical means?

Would You Like Fries With That?

On July 11th, Jason McKusick called in a pizza order to have it delivered. There was to be a side of fries included with the pizza.  However, much to Jason's irritation, when the order arrived, the fries were MIA.  Adding to his frustration, he didn't notice the missing fries until after the delivery guy had left.

So, Jason called Des Pizza & More (the more must mean french fries, huh?) and demanded that someone had better come back with his fries and he wanted them at no charge. While there is some confusion depending who you talk to...the restaurant says they told him there would be a $3.00 charge.

Despite, the fact Jason had no intention of paying, a delivery person did go back to Jason's with an order of fries. 

The poor delivery guy must of brought up the topic of the three bucks because, Jason pulled a knife on him. Cops were called. There is some confusion as to who called the cops but according to the article, Jason's mom and dad were at home. 

Anyway....As the police arrived they found Jason holding a crossbow in one hand and a large tomahawk in the other...Oh, yeah, he was also, screaming "you are going to have to shoot me." (Those aren't words that are wise to throw around. Massachusetts police must be the calm sort as I am pretty sure, there are police departments that would of been happy to oblige him.)

The police feared that none of this was going to end well, so they sent for the Massachusetts State Police and a SWAT team. (Are you still with me?..this is over an order of fries!!!)

 

So...the swat team surrounds the perimeter of the apartment complex, and after some negotiations, one officer Tazers Jason. The Tazer had no effect except to make Jason more angry. A second attempt to subdue him with a method known as a "dry stun" which consists of the use of a stun gun resulted in Jason pushing an officer causing him to fall. He was eventually taken down by a contingent of officers. (Yes, contigent is the word the article used)

Jason was arrested and charged with  kidnapping, six counts of assault with a dangerous weapon, seven counts of assault and battery on an officer, one count of disorderly conduct, disturbing the peace, resisting arrest, and attempting to commit a crime. He is being held without bail. 

Either those are really good fries and he was REALLY needing some or this guy is a tad over-reactionary.

How Artistic!!!

Every once in awhile, here at TAOBC we talk about "what constitutes art?"  Seems that the people of Lewisville, Texas are also debating is "body art" art?

The city has been forced to change its nudity laws after topless waitresses wearing just bikini bottoms  and body paint served customers. (and there were pasties under the paint as well)

This is art!

Up until recently the ordinance laws didn't prohibit body paint in lieu of clothing, so the risque attire was legal. (That will teach them not to be more specific in how they write ordinances.) A complaint was filed by Catherine Holliday. Catherine and some friends had stopped to take pictures of the restaurant and noticed that the outfits on the waitresses were actually just painted on. 

The city debated the issue last Monday night.  A professional body painter, Kristal White was present as well, She said it was an art form...a very beautiful art form.

Lewisville town chiefs decided body paint, dyes and tattoos cannot be considered decent covering for restaurant servers and voted to change their ordinance.

Bet Catherin Holliday has lost some popularity with some Redneck Heaven patrons.
