Hopefully his lawyer and the prosecutor will reach an accord.

Critical empowerment.

They gave him a power strip search, now they really wanna socket to him & give him an extension in jail.
Posted by: trustf8 | May 21, 2010 at 12:28 PM
An important story. Please keep us current.

*zaps in*
Electrifying!
*zaps out*

What a revolting crime. I'm sure he'll receive an ample sentence.
Posted by: Layzeeboy | May 21, 2010 at 12:42 PM
So he pulled the plug on the exhibit?
Posted by: Horace LaBadie | May 21, 2010 at 12:48 PM
The thief put up no resistance when confronted, and his attorney re-fused to comment when his client was brought before the county circuit court for hearing.
Reached later by phone, the attorney asked "Wire there so many bad puns on this story?"
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | May 21, 2010 at 12:57 PM
The words art and extension cord should never be used in the same sentence. What ever happened to people painting nice pictures of flowers or seascapes?

"Wire there so many bad puns on this story?"
shocking, ain't it?
Posted by: trustf8 | May 21, 2010 at 01:01 PM
I know a security guard named Serge. They could have used his protection.
(Have we got 'em all yet?)
Posted by: Layzeeboy | May 21, 2010 at 01:34 PM
Charles Rock was singularly phased.
Posted by: OC Dolphin | May 21, 2010 at 01:40 PM
Bad conduct, I'd say.
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | May 21, 2010 at 01:48 PM
Hey, I was just trying to get a plug in for my friend Serge.
Posted by: Layzeeboy | May 21, 2010 at 01:51 PM
He was so turned on by the art works, that he was amped out of his mind. When arrested, he said, "Watts the problem, officers." His attorney will argue that his client is not the brightest bulb on the tree. He is lacking in capacitance. In fact, the whole case against him is revolting.

Robinson allegedly took a power cord from an art exhibit created by Dave McKenzie that in part includes more than two dozen boom boxes.
Maybe he was just a music lover.
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | May 21, 2010 at 02:04 PM
Resistance is juiceless!
(Ohm-igod, I'm so sorry.....)
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | May 21, 2010 at 02:30 PM
OYYYYYY. i'm trying not to laugh out loud.
Posted by: queensbee | May 21, 2010 at 02:30 PM
Layzee, he'll probably receive a light sentence. He sounds a little dimwitted to me.
Posted by: Siouxie | May 21, 2010 at 02:41 PM
It'll only get dimmer in jail, he'll see:
His only outlet will be ac/dc.

i may have to meditate, because i am so charged. ohhhm.....
Posted by: queensbee | May 21, 2010 at 02:51 PM
He'll be generating some static there, for sure.
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | May 21, 2010 at 02:53 PM
...& he'll finally get plugged with that 'extension cord' he was after in the first place...
Posted by: trustf8 | May 21, 2010 at 03:00 PM
He'll receive quite a jolt.
Posted by: Siouxie | May 21, 2010 at 03:08 PM
The two are but a twisted-pair.
Posted by: OC Dolphin | May 21, 2010 at 03:28 PM
He's turning pro. Going on the thieves circuit.
Posted by: Layzeeboy | May 21, 2010 at 03:34 PM
They should steal something of hi. You know, give him a dose of his own Edison.
Posted by: Layzeeboy | May 21, 2010 at 03:35 PM
At least he didn't commit battery.
Posted by: bonmot | May 21, 2010 at 04:30 PM
A wireless installation.
Posted by: OC Dolphin | May 21, 2010 at 04:38 PM
Perhaps the boycotting museum gets its power from Arizona.

*Dago twit*
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | May 21, 2010 at 05:09 PM
He was tired after the chase, so they sent him to the Westinghouse.
Posted by: Nolan Bushnell | May 21, 2010 at 05:24 PM
Well, he would be facing the music, that's for Shure.
Posted by: Horace LaBadie | May 21, 2010 at 05:32 PM
*snorks* all around - This sure generated a lot of fun!
Posted by: trustf8 | May 21, 2010 at 06:06 PM
^ sorry, meanie said that allready.
*electric failure*
Posted by: trustf8 | May 21, 2010 at 06:15 PM
True that tf8. Aspen's nightmare was over, then the unavoidable pun tsunami soon followed. Thanks everyone for the groans and snorks. Your capacitance for humor is appreciated.

glad you enjoyed the 'tpunami', Wv'power'plantman.
(...altho that sounds like something you'd find in a diaper)

*SNORK!*
I always get to these things waaaaay to late...

Postcript:
His life of crime intensified
So he got the electric chair,
& died.
Posted by: trustf8 | May 21, 2010 at 08:11 PM
He wasn't grounded enough as a child. His career in crime was short-circuited. The police used a three-pronged search pattern.
Posted by: Horace LaBadie | May 21, 2010 at 08:35 PM
Geez, it won't end. Seems we're just incable of letting it go.
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | May 21, 2010 at 08:41 PM
It's wire-to-wire coverage.
Posted by: Horace LaBadie | May 21, 2010 at 09:08 PM
Induct him into the Power Rangers.
Posted by: Ralph | May 21, 2010 at 10:53 PM
Ohm my God! I had better start keeping up with current events.
Power to the people!
I wonder if he takes the short buss to school?
"Watts in your lunch today, Siouxie?"
I'll give her AMPle time to respond. Besides, who could resister?
Stay tuned for more of this shocking story!
Posted by: PirateBoy | May 22, 2010 at 12:04 AM
Very nice that we have an outlet for all this...
Posted by: WriterDude | May 22, 2010 at 04:08 AM
The theft was polarizing in Aspen. Tension was high. The curator of the exhibition had no outlet for his anxiety, and had to chant "ohm, ohm" to remain calm. A critic exclaimed "Mag-Neato" when she saw the art. The artist, energized by the attention, vowed to work like a dynamo to create new works, driving away in his classic 1936 Cord. The thief was subjected to a battery of psychological exams. The museum board went nuclear over the lack of security.
Posted by: Horace LaBadie | May 22, 2010 at 08:03 AM
PB - electric eel, of course ;P
OK. MAKE. IT. STOP. Someone please pull the plug!!
Posted by: Siouxie | May 22, 2010 at 09:55 AM
Can anyone insulate us from further transmission of this dam foolish pun-ishment? I don't see much potential to stop this degradation, so I am griding myself for another pulse. But I hope we can terminate this soon, before the whole system comes crashing down and we all wind up unable to make the Net work.

Going off the grid.
