TENSION MOUNTS IN FLATHEAD COUNTY

3:02 p.m. A Kalispell woman was talking to her daughter about safety and was showing her the number for 911. As part of her demonstration, she accidentally called 911.

Good heavens! Walking down the street wearing a BLANKET!? In BROAD DAYLIGHT?!? What kind of lawless society have we become?!
What's next, men in Rompers?

Having been unacquainted with the term "brodies", I looked it up on that interweb thingabob.

I never knew that's what I was doing all these years (sometimes voluntarily).

1:56 p.m. A Hungry Horse resident reported that someone stole their lawnmower. Luckily for them, they’re not going to need it until spring.

Justin Franz really should compile a book of this stuff.


5:06 p.m. The first “brodies” of winter were being spun in Columbia Falls.

That's gotta win an award for most euphemisms is a single sentence.

I have to admit I have no idea what are "brodies" and why are they "spun".

She had to "show" her daughter where 911 was?

Jeff, some of the newer phones don't have an 11 on them.

I'm guessing that the 8:37 pm incident - someone driving very slowly through town - was a reader from this blog who traveled to Flathead County just to take it all in.

" A Kalispell resident reported finding prostitutes and drugs. ". WHOA ! In Flathead CO ? Aliens and drugs would be normal but.......

7:54 a.m. Someone wearing a blanket was walking down the street.

Obviously the citizen fashion police are on the job!

(I hear) They spend a whole day on this in Homeland Security.


7:03 a.m. A local woman called the cops because she was pretty sure her sister purposefully set her own house on fire.

They have spiders in Flathead County?


3:04 p.m. A Kila woman was kicked out of a home last night. It wasn’t a big deal until she remembered that she left her jacket and keys there. She was curious if she could get some help in returning them.

Tickets to the geezer bus will be arriving in the mail, since your eligibility has clearly been confirmed.

What the hell is a brodie? What I am finding makes much less sense than we are not accustomed to.

I also looked up "Brodie" and all I could find was a reference to a Canadian hockey player named T.J. Brodie. What exactly was he spinning? A yarn or maybe a tall tale? Inquiring, non-Flathead County, minds want to know!

If that was a riding lawnmower that was stolen, it'll be returned as soon as the snow melts and the kids can't spin brodies (brodys)or doughnuts in the snow with it.

nursecindy- a Colorado friend got so tired of the winters he said he was going to sell everything he owned except his snowblower. He was going to put it in the back of his pickup and head south. The first time someone looked at that snowblower and asked."What's that thing in the back of your truck?" he'd found a place to move to.

And life goes on in fathead county..........

“Noun
brody (plural brodies)

(slang) Intentionally spinning in circles and sliding in an automobile.”

Kind of like a frozen donut.
