14:06 Lola8088 rue_shop2 How those kidlettes?

14:26 jennie Hi
14:41 Tom_itx i'll be late so start without me
15:03 jennie ?
16:05 Lola8088 Tom_itx, heh ehheh ehhehe... kay, I'll save you a seat. :D
19:16 rue_house Lola8088, ha, I cant do 4, I get out of school at 4:30
19:52 any83274966 local man gets sentenced to 3 years in jail for killing two trees
19:53 any83274966 in other related news, some other guy is out of "jell" on bond, and the cooking segment features a cake with a homemade "jail" glaze
19:53 Tom_itx musta been some mighty potent piss
19:55 any83274966 a herbicide
19:56 any83274966 but "we can't look at those two trees any more, so we are putting you in a little cage for 3 years" seems out of whack to me
19:58 any83274966 "we are going to cage you, thereby fuck up the rest of your life, for depriving us of two trees"
19:59 any83274966 PLUS a $1000 fine, PLUS his attorney fees, PLUS the loss of his previous job while dealing with this event from years ago
20:00 any83274966 and they may tack on the costs of the DA's office in persecuting him
20:01 any83274966 they went after him about trees like they had gone after me about dog
20:10 any83274966 the county said they'll replace the 3 trees with 3 steel poles with wire stretched between them
20:25 any83274966 i wonder if the poles are damaged, if they will have the same sentimental value that puts one in jail (or jell) for 3 years
21:31 any83274966 a 10ft wide x 8ft tall panel of lcd screens at the local airport, is a foot thick, all the weight is in the front 2 inches of the module, kids were grabbing at it, it wasn't secured to the wall even tho it is face-heavy and off-balance, it fell, one kid died, parent in critical condition
21:32 any83274966 someone coud not spare 4 inches of pipe hanger strap and 4 deck screws, so this is going to cost them loooooooooooooooots more
21:34 any83274966 http://www.abc3340.com/story/21771391/falling-ala-airport-sign-kills-boy-injures-4
21:34 any83274966 Firefighters estimated the arrival-departure sign weighed 300 to 400 pounds.
21:35 any83274966 i saw the video of the rescue crew standing it back up, it wobbled and almost fell back down on them
21:35 any83274966 they didn't lay it back down or secure it to the wall either
21:36 any83274966 "mommy, what's behind this? <yank><CRASH>"
