PERITOPIA!

Local officials\’ initial thoughts on marijuana bill

Best comment ever!

>>screw all of you dopers, medicinal MJ is OK but the daily use has dumbed down our youth! I work with intelligent productive people all day a couple of them use their last break towards the end of the day to get high. They immediately turn into unfocused, ADD accomplish nothing dolts! Look around Mendo you can see what this drug has done to our community. Go in a McDonalds, Taco Bell or Burger King after 9 on a saturday night and watch the stoners try to order food…..Yeah, I will have uuuuhhhhhhhh….no wait, I wanna….hmmmmmmm.yeah yeah thats it i want two…uuuuhhhhhhh, can i have a free cup of water?<<

Could Porn Payout Help Octomom Keep Kids?

OK, now this story is getting interesting.  If she has time to do all these interviews, she probably has time to do a porn movie — or five.  I’m not sure who would want to watch it, but I know they are out there.

So, I want this.  Not as much as the mousetrap coffee table.  But almost as much.

Seattle man accused of sinking his own yacht

>>An inspection found a hole was drilled into the bottom of the Jubilee, and that two main engine sea strainers appeared to have been broken with a hammer.<<

So, this guy confessed.  He probably thought nobody would believe the ocean is filled with creatures brandishing drills and hammers at the ready.  Yet another example of poor planning.  I mean, it could have been the work of angry, unemployed home builders.

I’m just wondering how Ingrid Bergman would feel seeing her daughter with two giant green appendages jumping out of her nipples in the Sci-Fi Original movie Infected.  I’m just wondering.

>>ASSAULT — A trio of Covelo men were allegedly attacked by an opposing trio with a stick and rocks following an argument Thursday, a report from the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office stated.  Upon being taken to jail, the only suspect arrested tried to hide 20 bindles of methamphetamine in the back of a police vehicle, the Sheriff’s Office stated.<<

Because who’s going to look there?

The story is good, but the comments are fantastic.  My personal favorite, “Wow BERT……U HAVE DONE SUCH A WONDERFUL JOB AS A DRUNK DEFENSE ATTORNEY…..U MUST BE PROUD OF YOUR LOVELY WIFE! U GOT A GOOD GIG GOING. TRYING TO RUN FOR DA AGAIN? DOUBT IT!”

The unabashed honesty of the local populace is a breath of fresh air.  Well, semi-fresh.

Well, it was only a matter of time before I made this a continuing feature.  Highlight of this week:

>>- Alice M. Smith was placed on a 6-month probation for defacing mushrooms.<<

I guess they were important mushrooms…
