Nice Planet 2010

Re: Nice Planet 2010

We used to run alongside the buses as they pulled out of the unloading lane and throw huge chunks of hard snow/ice into the wheels. It was awesome.

You're quick. It was the parantheses that gave it away, huh?

And who didn't "bungee" the busses? For the morans in the group, you grabbed ahold of the back bumper of the bus, and "skiied" as long as you could when the bus drove off. Oh, man, that was fun.

Didn't do that with busses, but I remember after school we would get a ski rope and pull people on skis/sleds/car hoods around behind the 4-wheelers and snowmobiles. Got my buddy up to 95 on skis once behind the snowmobile, through a cornfield. He said he was scared to let go, so just held on while the stalks destroyed his lower legs, he had a bunch of welts and cuts on his shins. The best was car hoods though, we called that "ultimate sledding", we start at the top of a hill, with the hood tied behind the 4-wheeler. We'd head down the hill, once the hood (with people on it) started going faster than the 4-wheeler, we'd turn the 4-wheeler quickly and got it pointed uphill. The 4-wheeler would become a pivot point as the hood whipped around in circles fast enough that you physically couldn't hold on anymore, then the people would fly off and usually roll through the snow for 30 feet. We ended up very bruised from this.

Yeah, stop being a PC ***** Brent. :D

The only thing banned in the winter at my school (Catholic school) was snowball fights. And even then it took several cuts because of ice chunks to do it. If you came into the school after recess soaking wet, too bad, deal with it. :)

That's what you're hoping for, really? I read the story and instantly started hoping for a massive mechanical failure resulting in the New Years ball being dislodged from its post and dropping several stories to the ground with her still inside. Whatever the result would be, I'd take it.
 
Re: Nice Planet 2010

Not sure this is really a "nice planet", but there's a <a href="http://www.jsonline.com/news/milwaukee/111660609.html">freeway standoff</a> in Milwaukee. Started as a disabled vehicle call, then they realized the car was stolen. Going on the sixth hour of the driver and passenger refusing to get out of the car. The downtown interchange has been closed since 4 am.

Whatever they did, I hope it was worse than the charges they should face for hogging all the police resources they've had on this. What do they think is going to happen if they don't get out of the car? The police will just go away? Someone will come help them? They're not going anywhere - they're surrounded by police. They have a bomb squad there, for pete's sake. Somebody needs to watch Chris Rock's video about how not to get your *** kicked by the police, because I'm pretty sure threatening them with weapons and refusing to get out of the car is a no-no.

I am going to be very disappointed if this isn't a blockbuster story after all the time I have invested reading about it this morning. :p


edit: it's over. they finally used tear gas. one tried to run, but both resisted arrest. so apparently not a hostage situation. can't wait to hear the story on this.

Tear gas? Were the Milwaukee cops out of RPG's?
