Thursday, the day before he was shot in a Key West home during an argument, artist William Selesnick called police to warn that a series of fires would be set by followers of Hollywood actress Shirley MacLaine.

Nothing in the report indicates Selesnick even knows MacLaine, 81...

Course he did! It was a past life, when Rome burned....

There are people who go nuts when they drink or do drugs. Then there are nuts who drink and do drugs. In this case, it's multiple choice with no wrong answer.

Jeff - does it really have to be appropriately? If so, is at least a low bar?

(Happy Xth Birthday, Ms. Nurse!)

Thanks to everyone! Thumbs up to ligirl. When you get to my age the only way to celebrate is appropriately otherwise you'll end up in the hospital. My daughter is taking me to dinner tonight so there's a good chance that at some point I'll be asked if I want fries with that.

Thanks to everyone! You've absolutely made my day.

Happy birthday, NC!

I hate to break it to you, but you get *paid* to end up in a hospital!

(Not enough, I admit, but, still...)
