THIS IS DAVE BARRY'S WEBSITE...AREN'T WE HERE TO TALK ABOUT HIM. I'M SURE HE WOULD LIKE THAT ESPECIALLY CAUSE HE'S GETTING OLD AND HASN'T BEEN ON DAVID LETTERMAN SINCE DAVID FIGURED OUT THEY HAD THE SAME FIRST NAME. BUT REALLY LETTERMAN NEEDS TO GET OVER THAT, BECAUSE DAVE BARRY IS SUCH A WONDERFUL SINGER. I ESPECIALLY LIKE IT WHEN HE FINISHES HIS PERFORMANCE. THE QUIET IS DEAFENING.
Beware the spicy sausage!

Hmmm... Are we sure someone wasn't watching Monty Python or dabbling in psychelics? Or both?
Good morning, SuzyQ!

Are they sure they got the right guy? It sounds like it could have been Emeril. "Now, let's just kick it up a notch".

Honest officer! The dog ate my weapon.

Lt. Ian Burrimond, describing the crime as one of the strangest he's ever heard of
"ONE of the strangest"??? I'm googling "Fresno weird crime cases" to find out what ranks up there with this one...
Posted by: frodolives | September 07, 2008 at 01:48 PM
This is the best I could do
Posted by: frodolives | September 07, 2008 at 01:57 PM
Ah, the dreaded Santaria spice and sausage curse!
Posted by: Margaritaville | September 07, 2008 at 01:57 PM
Could make for a nice gumbo, if he adds okra...

Hey, Scott! Whassup?
Posted by: Suzy Q | September 07, 2008 at 02:07 PM
Beware the killerbasa!
I love how the weapon is described as an "8-inch sausage", as though it were the caliber of a gun.
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | September 07, 2008 at 02:15 PM
"That's right, the dog ate the weapon," Burrimond said.
And his homework.

By the way, jusi, I think you're safe from firing: standup2cancer made over $100 MILLION!
Take a bow.

Sorry, judi.
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | September 07, 2008 at 02:26 PM
(Unless you're like a former coworker of mine, who pronounced it "And-doo-wille"... it's French, and pronounced "Und-whee")
(just for clarification)
Posted by: frodolives | September 07, 2008 at 02:30 PM
Meanie, if that's the diameter of the sausage it could be important. A peperoni wouldn't hurt much but a Bologna might.

wally - during the assault did antonio say "bam!"?
Posted by: insomniac | September 07, 2008 at 02:34 PM
Jeff, what a Freudian slip you made!

Stop being such a hot dog, you brat(wurst)!

"Deputies, he said, had no problem linking the suspect to the crime."
In other words, it was an open and shut casing.

Maybe the thief stole from someone's barbecue first and decided that their kid brother ate it...great, isn't it?

The report says money was taken, but
"It seems the guy ran out of the house wearing only a T-shirt, boxer shorts and socks, leaving behind his wallet with his ID," Burrimond said.
So, where was the stolen money kept?
Posted by: oldmanatee | September 07, 2008 at 11:29 PM
WHERE WAS THE STOLEN MONEY KEPT?
