Nothing?

[Edgar Greenberg]

Not even me?

[Beppie]

Look for that on ebay...

[Edgar Greenberg]

Guess not.

[Edgar Greenberg]

Hey Edgar. What's up?

[Beppie]

Or, maybe I could just read down to the last paragraph.

[Edgar Greenberg]

Nothing much. No one to talk to.

[The Dread Pirate Chris]

'If I was advising someone to chain or cable their snowmobile to something, I would suggest something immovable like a tree or something that's not going to be able to be dragged away.'

Or, maybe not.

[Layzeeboy]

Officer: "Can you describe your snowmobile, sir?"

"Ummm...it has a porch attached to it."

[wickedwitch]

maybe the guy just wanted the porch and the snowmobile was incidental. it was after all in Canada.

[Siouxie]

Edgar, stop harassing Edgar!

[Hammond Rye]

"Too bad, Son, you picked the wrong province to do this," the grizzled Mountie said and spit out a stream of tobacco juice, "We hang porch rustlers in these parts."

"Get a rope."

[Edgar Greenberg]

Yeah. You tell me Siouxie!

[Edgar Greenberg]

No. Why the heck should I.

[marfie]

Or stupider, for that matter.

[Beppie]

Oh weird Hammond, I just posted "get a rope" about the same time you did on another story. Weirdness.

[Edgar Greenberg]

'If I was advising someone to chain or cable their snowmobile to something, I would suggest something immovable like a tree or something that's not going to be able to be dragged away."

Next Week: Snowmobile thief gets crushed by falling tree.

[Siouxie]

LOL Hammie & Sybil Edgar!

[Clean Hands]

"Around 5:30 a.m., they found a man who is in police custody."

If he was in police custody, how did he pull off the snowmobile/porch heist?

[Patrick O]

Edgar, that was my thought. Instead of waking to the sound of the porch being ripped of, he could have wakened to the sound of a tree falling on his house. Great Crimestopper tip.

[Siouxie]

Maybe he should chain it to a pole next time.

[MOTW]

CH, that's just sloppy journalism. They needed to insert the word "now" in there, to wit - "who is now in police custody."

At least this Mountie always got his man.

[Jelly]

Could someone please tell me what does wwfbbq stand for?

[MOTW]

sassafrazzemrekkampfh - I hate frames.

==> toons and culture ==> Dudley Do Right

[Siouxie]

wtfbbq = what the f*ck, bar-b-que

[Clean Hands]

(The BBQ is added as an ironic commentary on the proliferation of acronyms... also to lure new blogits out of blurking. Welcome, Jelly!)

[Layzeeboy]

Ahhh, CH, the old BBQ blurker trap worked.

[Mikey]

I think the thief may have had a hearing or attention problem.

Father of thief, "Son, I want you to take this snowmobile and steal me a Porsche."

Thief, not paying attention as usual, " Uh huh, Porch, Gotcha, Dad."

[Clean Hands]

**snork** @ Mikey. I'm guessing that there was alkyhol involved in this mini crime spree.

[Mikey]

Probly!!! :)

[OtheU(manity)]

Aside from the missing "now" (in custody) ... this is a good example of how journalism finally has a reason to include the name of a product brand in a story.

A cousin of mine had one of his snowmobiles stolen.

They had stopped in for some warming refreshments after a trail ride (only a few miles from home, in rural Nodak).

Two snowmobiles were in the back of their pickups.

When they came out, one wuz gone.

A lot of folks kidded him about the Arctic Cat™ that the thieves left behind, sayin' that the bandits knew a Polaris™ wuz worth stealin', but a 'Cat wuzn't ...

ISIANMTU!

[Mr. Completely]

What cracked me up was one of the other Ottawa headlines on the right side of the page there, eh: Halfway house to be moved away from school - I wonder if they're gonna use a snowmobile?

Take off, you hosers.
