I'm sure Britain's crack detectives are working around the clock on this.
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | 10:12 PM on May 3, 2008
Please tell me the police are not actually thinking about wasting man hours tracking him down.
Posted by: Margaritaville | 10:13 PM on May 3, 2008
That's more than a crack shot. OMG!!!!
Posted by: Meditrina | 10:14 PM on May 3, 2008
I bet two Blog Nickles the driver and passenger are gals. Don't test your luck against me, my horse placed this afternoon. True, she didn't slow down smoothly, but I can overlook that at 8:1.
Posted by: CJrun | 10:17 PM on May 3, 2008
Then they'll never find the culprit cause everyone is just going to a$$-ume it's a guy .---okay this comment just got flagged as spam. Apparently a lot of @$$ spam going around.
Posted by: Margaritaville | 10:22 PM on May 3, 2008
I doubt they'll catch the bum.
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | 10:26 PM on May 3, 2008
CJ, that "gal" has an odd appendage between her legs, for a female of the wimmin varietal. Siouxie told me.
Posted by: Meditrina | 10:26 PM on May 3, 2008
Then again, maybe Charles will come out and admit it.
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | 10:27 PM on May 3, 2008
Wait till he gets caught, booked and fingerprinted. I hope that photo ID is imprinted on his drivers licience.
Posted by: Ednausean | 10:41 PM on May 3, 2008
Med, when you're right, you're right. That's a guy and zooming in the driver looks like a guy, too.
Gals could probably get away with it, but guys in a Beamer station wagon are going to have to talk to Mom and Dad.
OK, set up the BlogBar, I owe two nickels.
Posted by: CJrun | 10:43 PM on May 3, 2008
Med, CJ - they're British. It may take a dna test to determine what they are.
(CJ, if you're referring to Eight Belles, the filly who died on the track today, that was so not nice.)
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | 11:05 PM on May 3, 2008
Maybe the police should put a "Have You Seen Me?" ad in the Portable Restroom Operator Magazine.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | 11:16 PM on May 3, 2008
CJ, in your defense, that guy must drive a Hummer. Cuz it's a teeny one. I can see how it could be easily missed.
And yeah, Annie, 8 Belles was a tragedy. You know how I feel about 4-legged critters, and I cried when I read the story. Heartbreaking.
Posted by: Meditrina | 11:25 PM on May 3, 2008
What is this 'ticking' that the police are going to give him when they catch him??
Posted by: Eleanor | 11:48 PM on May 3, 2008
Better than a licking, El.
I just threw up a little in my mouth.
Posted by: baligurl | 11:49 PM on May 3, 2008
Either way bali, it sounds gross. :)
*zips out*
Posted by: Eleanor | 12:06 AM on May 4, 2008
I grossed out El.
*adjusts waistband of jeans*
My work here is done.
Posted by: baligurl | 12:16 AM on May 4, 2008
please keep your pants on. Thats how the ticking was caused.
El- Ticking- will get a ticket.
Of course I think little of him.
All that said, why are their faces blurred in the picture?
The british view nudity in a comical way, because so often they have to see it. And they need the laugh.
Posted by: Alfred | 12:20 AM on May 4, 2008
My pants ARE on, Alfred. I guess I shoulda said "hitches".
Posted by: baligurl | 12:59 AM on May 4, 2008
*zaps in for a min*
Went to the Marlins vs. Padres game tonight we sucked and a good time was had by all we royally sucked. Lots of cheering and flag waving cuz we sucked to root for our hometown team that sucked. There was a fireworks display after the game which didn't suck, and a concert of this really really OLD Puerto Rican band also didn't suck, so we were dancing salsa for a while desperately trying to forget the sucky game.
It was FUN! I'll have some crap cam pics tomorrow which will probably suck!!!!
Nite nite!
Posted by: Siouxie | 01:26 AM on May 4, 2008
That's my girl! BTW, your team has won 2 World Series in the past 15 years. My team has zero titles in 40+ years but we have fun every summer and don't act like idjigts unlike the Cub fans. Must be the weather up there. ;)

Cramlington? CRAMLINGTON??!!
Posted by: SW | 03:15 AM on May 4, 2008
Oopsie on the name changie thingy. My bad.
Posted by: Doc Rick | 03:28 AM on May 4, 2008
Siouxie, since El's a Yankees fan, I'll speak up for the Padres. They did pretty well today, didn't they? What do you say you (and by "you" I mean so.fla) keep the Padres so you can have a semi-winning team and we'll even throw in a "baseball park". Some of us are tired of being jacked around by sports teams and their bought-and-paid-for lackeys in city government. (You can have the Chargers, too, so the Dolphins will have someone to play with, too.)

Are you sure that's not just an airbag?
Posted by: SW | 04:45 AM on May 4, 2008
cranks up the coffee maker, sets out some fruit and some bagels.
Good morning
Posted by: jug | 08:40 AM on May 4, 2008
mmm....
(Helps self to bagel & coffee)
Thanks, jug. Morning.
Posted by: daisymae | 09:16 AM on May 4, 2008
Morning daisymae. Its quiet in here this morning.
Posted by: jug | 09:23 AM on May 4, 2008
Butt soft, what light through yonder window breaks?
It is the Beast, and crudely it shows the bun.
Avert eyes, dear ones, avoid the devious moon,
Who is incredibly sick and pale, no briefs,
Dropped trou, point made, to those who dare inhibit speed.
*pours generous amount of coffee, schmears a bagel, tips hat to jug, SNORKs at the long-missed SW*
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | 09:31 AM on May 4, 2008
Snork @ Meanie.
Posted by: jug | 09:44 AM on May 4, 2008
That was, as you all surely know, adapted from the Bard's classic tragedy "As You Wipe It".
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | 09:50 AM on May 4, 2008
It didn't sound like a Woody Allen bit.
Posted by: jug | 10:08 AM on May 4, 2008
Someone better fix that crack in the windshield.
*snorks* to SW & Meanie!

*zips in*™
Morning all. Scott, my pal CG is a huge Padres fan Yankees won yesterday! and on Friday Yankees won Friday he was telling me that the Padres Johnny Damon hit a 2 run homer are the worst team in baseball these days, even worse than the way the Yankees have been playing.
private message to Siouxie - I like this style, hope it's OK to copy it. :)
Posted by: Eleanor | 10:50 AM on May 4, 2008
It sounded like someone bit Woody Allen. Yay, Meanie!
Scott - El's a Pods fan once-removed, and an avid Charger fan. Run while you can.
Poor Marlins - even when they do win the whole enchilada, their owner sells off the pieces on eB@y. At least their fans get to salsa a little. Dodger Town out here has a section with an all-you-can-eat buffet. I can just here Vin Scully now - "3-2 pitch, and the big guy in the stained green t-shirt is going back for his 8th Dodger dog...."
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | 10:55 AM on May 4, 2008
'hear' Vin Scully....(cut me some slack, I'm typing with one hand due to injury)...
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | 10:56 AM on May 4, 2008
'morning, El!
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | 10:57 AM on May 4, 2008
Good morning, Annie. Yankee game is on at 10a.m. today.
And Scott, Annie is right about my being an avid Charger fan, and since we're talking about football I'll mention that I was the League Champion in my Fantasy Football League, which caused great trauma and sobbing and rendering of clothes for the guys in the league.
Posted by: Eleanor | 11:04 AM on May 4, 2008
Yes - most of them took news of El's victory like they were Cub fans.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | 11:15 AM on May 4, 2008
Cubbie fans are crybabies. Go El!! I would love to be a Fantasy Football champ and then rub my son's nose in it. Of course, do to that I would have to learn too much something about football.
Posted by: daisymae | 11:32 AM on May 4, 2008
daisymae - it's so quirky, you'd be surprised how little knowledge it takes. Like March Madness in college basketball - anyone can win. Or the NL Central Division....
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | 11:36 AM on May 4, 2008
Annie - don't you have to watch the games and know the name of the teams (and players)? I'm very familiar with the Fla teams, pro (Marlins, Heat, Dolphins, I'm blank on hockey) and major college (Hurricanes, Gators, Seminoles), but vague on everybody else, unless they are famous, like the Yankees, Cubs (I lived in Chicago), Raiders (I lived in SF), Cowboys (my parents lived in Dallas, plus we had that whole drama with Jimmy Johnson when he coached the Dolphins). I know some players - Brett Favre (weird name), Joe Montana (I lived in SF), Duane Wade (I live in SoFla), Pat Riley (I met him once), etc.
Posted by: daisymae | 11:46 AM on May 4, 2008
That's quite a list, daisy.
There are tons of web sites devoted to Fantasy Football - who to pick each week and why, who's hot, who's not, and the League web site makes recommendations, so you can really know as much or as little as you want to.
And you kind of learn as you go. This was my 3rd year in the FF league.
One of the best things about it, IMO, is that it makes watching games during the season more interesting. I mean the ones that your team isn't playing in. Because you have players to root for, etc.
Posted by: Eleanor | 11:52 AM on May 4, 2008
Plus you'll quickly learn that most guys are picking emotionally, not wisely. Again, like Cubs fans. For instance, if you're up against a diehard Rams fans, it makes it easier for you to win.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | 11:58 AM on May 4, 2008
El and Alfred:
To tick off somebody is to reprimand or rebuke them. Thus if they 'face a ticking off', then they can expect to be criticized.

He was just giving the driver directions to the Hershey Highway.
Hi, all. Wouldn't it be nice if there were 30 hours in the day?
Posted by: SW | 01:03 PM on May 4, 2008
cheeky monkey!
Posted by: insomniac | 01:12 PM on May 4, 2008
Hi all! Not into the whole sports competition World Champion Red Sox thing.
I'm more concerned with who's gonna clean that brown streak off that windshield.
Posted by: Punkin | 01:33 PM on May 4, 2008
Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the butt.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | 01:34 PM on May 4, 2008
What's worse, cleaning a brown streak off a windshield or cleaning projectile vomit out of a stroller?
A while back on one of TruTV's shows about Spring Break gone wrong, some plastered student threw up in the officer's squad car. He was not pleased.
Posted by: Steve Haller | 01:49 PM on May 4, 2008
*snorks* all around!
I'm just sitting here cracking up!
OT - daughter's home from college for the summer!! YAY!

El, you can copy all you want, you always let me use your zipper™ ;-)
Is it me, or is that one FUGLY looking ASS????
Posted by: Siouxie | 01:50 PM on May 4, 2008
And no, it's NOT me!!! ;-P
Posted by: Siouxie | 01:52 PM on May 4, 2008
Thank you, Siouxie. :)
And it's never you. Annie told me.

Good afternoon, blogits!
I just finished two hours of volleying tennis balls with daughter the younger. She was kind and didn't kill me. That is my contribution to the sports talk.
What a gorgeous day here in Chicago. Dare I put the winter coats away (again)? I tried that last week and had to pull them back out.
Posted by: Cat R | 03:25 PM on May 4, 2008
Cat, it's been my experience this spring to leave the winter coats within reaching distance and I live in Texas. The wife is getting a bit unhappy at having the coats downstairs in May.
Posted by: Doc Rick | 03:35 PM on May 4, 2008
the cold/late spring is all algore's fault. He invented global warming, after all.
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | 03:42 PM on May 4, 2008
Well, I'm tempted to pack 'em up again. But I still keep going outside to cover my newly planted flowers each night. We had a frost warning last night again.
Posted by: Cat R | 04:06 PM on May 4, 2008
What's a winter coat?
Signed,
SoCal girl
Posted by: Eleanor | 04:15 PM on May 4, 2008
Ha ha, Eleanor!
Well, one good thing about living in the Windy City is that when we have that first glorious spring or fall day, we really appreciate it.
Even if we get teased with fickle weather for several more weeks.
Posted by: Cat R | 04:19 PM on May 4, 2008
What's frost?
Catch ya later. We'll be out by the pool.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | 04:20 PM on May 4, 2008
We have a pool. Ppphhhhhttt!
Oh, but it's still covered, ice cold, and there's about a million gallons of rainwater puddled in the center of the cover.
But, we gaze at it longingly each day, and know that soon... soon... soon!
Posted by: Cat R | 04:24 PM on May 4, 2008
Take a left at the dingleberry.
Posted by: SW | 04:28 PM on May 4, 2008
We appreciate every one of our beautiful sunny days. We never take this 'almost always' good weather for granted, because sometimes it gets down to 60F or even the high 50s and we freeze get chilly until it warms up again. :-)
Posted by: Eleanor | 05:38 PM on May 4, 2008
El, Annie,
As a girl in New England, please take this in the spirit it is meant...
I
HATE
YOU.
*waxes skis*
Posted by: Punkin | 06:30 PM on May 4, 2008
Hey, El, Punkin's goin' water skiing. Cool!
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | 06:56 PM on May 4, 2008
I hope she's wearing a wet suit, Annie. ;) Do they do that indoors in New England?
Posted by: Eleanor | 08:01 PM on May 4, 2008
*blink, blink* You mean it's not warm enough there yet?
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | 08:16 PM on May 4, 2008
