ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!

on march 21st there was a fire in the apartment building across from mine. the paper came out with an article yesterday and here are a couple quotes:
"The cigarette that alledgedly caused the fire may have been placed in a crack in the wall on the patio of the unit where the fire reportedly started, where it ignited other cigarettes already in the wall." yes, my friends, they were discarding their cigarettes in the column supporting the balcony
"Polomba said fire response was especially quick for this incident because one of his units saw the smoke while returning from another call." can you say lucky?
"According to WP's records, the persons occupying the unit where the fire began were not on the lease." seriously?

in other news, utd has decided to keep the name comets, but scrap the mascot temoc since he looks like a flaming sperm and his name is comet spelled backward. below are pictures of the four new choices to replace him with: a greyhound named sirius, a robot named nano, a flaming man named scorch, or an astronaut named cosmo. under the pictures is a clip of the accompanying article. a couple questions immediately come to mind: why replace a disliked mascot with one that is worse? is there anybody with any sense of normalacy in the group responsible for this? why can't we simply be the comets?

"I like the idea of being able to partner with the Greyhound Rescue Society," Hinkley said. "We'd be doing a good thing there, too." really? we have the facilities to take care of greyhounds?
"To Peterson the greyhound is the most lovable, while the robot is the just the opposite.
"I didn't really like the robot because I think it's difficult to love a robot," Peterson said. "It's difficult to hug a robot and you can't really image a robot jumping up and down and really exciting people because it's confined to certain motions, at least if it's a realistic robot." when was the last time you hugged/loved a greyhound? when was the last time you saw a greyhound jumping up and down and exciting people? is lovable even the image we want to convey?

and someone has been stealing bras out of the laundry center.

people who don't know how to play soccer should not be allowed to wear cleats.
