Rando Thursday Whatever: a Missouri bong, probably unionized
Welcome to my inaugural “Rando Thursday Whatever”, a…well…random, outpouring of whatever stories and snippets—of a more apolitical and non-ideological stripe—I find worthy of mention. Yes, get excited for word vomit on a weekly basis!
Firstly, I’m not sure if I made it explicit in my last post, but I was in St. Louis, Missouri all last week documenting a state-wide civil rights initiative. Pretty awesome stuff.
See! Right there to the left. Me and visual substantiation of my claim.
Anyhow, I made a video during my time there…which, should be up if not tomorrow then early next week.
Second up, coming form my current geographical location there’s a somewhat comical—actually, no,very disturbing—story today about three teens accused of digging up an old grave and stealing the skull to use as a bong. While I fully denounce such disrespect—done to the carcass of what once housed an autonomous human agent—I can’t help but mock the on-duty policeman’s report:
“(He) suggested they had actually dug up a grave in an unrelated incident and ultimately removed the head of a corpse,” Houston Police Officer Jim Adkins said. “By what he told me, they turned it into a device used to smoke marijuana, which is referred to as a bong.”
Thank you Ward Clever.
A picture of the stupid <shakes head> stupid adolescents now:
Let’s see. What else. Ah, on my way out of the bank today, I heard a 40-something customer talking to an employee about the class-action-lawsuit check he was holding. Big bucks. I’m wondering how much it was; I’m sure more than pure justice would restitute…
Moving on, I don’t know how I can claim I’m all about libertarian dance parties and not have been on top of
this.
Lastly, I change my mind. I will cross into ideology:
Surrounding my St. Louis hotel I counted more than 10 unions. In like a 2 block radius. Yeah, union central.
Union yes? Eh…no thanks.
