Random Thoughts VIII: The Ocho

[stormchaser2014]

Since we're talking about Wisconsin and how dangerous people think it is, has anyone ever seen this movie?

It's all pictures, so it's sort of an easy read.


On another note, the publisher for one of my favorite New Testament commentaries just released a statement saying that they are no longer printing books by a certain author. Apparently, there were complaints of plagiarism recently, and they found that he plagiarized 3 of his books.

They're offering refunds, which is nice. He issued the classic public apology that says it was all an accident (3 times!). Smooth.

I have learned more about what is considered plagiarism in the last week or so on CF than I have learned my entire life up until now. If he just followed CF he'd have been able to avoid it all together.

"England and the USA - two countries divided by a common language"
I don't remember who said it, but it's very true. We had to ask for clarification a LOT when we were there.

That reminds me of a news story when I was in high school. Did anyone else watch Channel One news for ~10 minutes in the morning? I remember young versions of Anderson Cooper and Lisa Ling being hosts. Anyway, one morning there was a brief news story about a young woman who "accidentally stabbed her child 14 times". We thought it was funny and it's stuck with me.

Or the old "Claudine Longet Invitational" on SNL's first season.
Quite an accident, indeed.

GTO, Pants and GR8 alert.

I'm amending my Wisconsin serial killer investigative report.

Clearly, Woo is not a serial killer. He is a lawyer which is, by definition, corrupt.

CG is still a serial killer because... fish knife.
Chaser is obviously a serial killer because... chain saw.

When doing investigative work always remember that the simplest explanation is usually the correct explanation. This is certainly the simplest explanation.

Uh-oh! He seems to have been accidentally shot by Claudine Longet!

Solving Serial Murders:

Committed with a fish knife, then look to CG.

If it's a total Texas chainsaw thingie then look to Chaser.

Bludgeoned to death with a baby pineapple and subsequently gnawed on postmortem by a corgi, then look to Pants. Also if no bodies found, cause feed to sharks.

Clawed to death by a pride of slightly domesticated cats, then look to KC. Think S. King's Sleepwalkers.

Porsche tire tracks all up and down their backs, probably Boxster.

Strangled with an ascot and a boat shoe shoved down their throats for good measure, gotta be BU.

Sonically discombobulated by high frequency bagpipe tones, Woo.

Choked to death on chicken wing bones with a hefty extra dose of sauce, look to 55. She may also have inadvertently left a clue by losing one of her pair of big glasses.

Just met a guy driving 5 mph (I pulled over to watch h this fiasco unfold). He is pulling a car trailer. I also saw a pickup right behind the trailer riding it close. As I went by i noticed a chain hooked from the trailer to the pickup. Nobody in the other pickup. Why not put the second pickup on the trailer instead of pulling it and stopping every 100 yards to adjust the steering g as it swerves from one side to another?

Please tell me you're in Kentucky or someplace like that and not in Iowa or Minnesota.

Maybe the other pick-up doesn't run so couldn't drive it up onto the trailer

Iowa, 7 miles from Minny.

Another pet peeve of mine. Openly hating on a city or what not. You can pretty much find bad things about everywhere.

You're just saying that because you're in Cedar Rapids.

I got a winch in the back of my pickup if he would have asked.

 

[MeanDean]

Well, that, and I confessed to being one. But you seemed really quick to say you aren't one, so you're probably one too. JC, I think what this shows is everyone who lives in Wisconsin is a serial killer. You can't trust any of us.

I don't think this is true. They need victims! Unless they import them from IL, MN, IA and MI. Or they just have the new younger serial killers kill the older more experienced ones.

So I'm watching the olympics and the radar is in the corner. I

Did you drink out of their glass?

nope

 

[cowgirl836]

Guilty. This clean cut, all-american boy at law school thing is just an elaborate ruse

uh, yeah it is! Craigslist killer was a nice looking guy, IIRC. And the law school thing is so you can keep yourself ahead of the law! It makes perfect sense!

If the victim was relentlessly stalked prior to her death? Well we know WDSM was involved.


BTW, I've always loved S King's Sleepwalkers. Such a good underrated movie
