What I love about this story is the police report. So typical. The cops go in, see a bunch of people engaged in public sex, get the people to let them take a bunch of cell phone pictures of them doing it, then three hours later exit the premises. :D

Gathering evidence is a methodical business.

That article ought to be parody. The whole thing is just amazing lunacy.

Honest to God. I read about the first two or three paragraphs of the article and my first thought was, "this reads like that old Lincoln/Kennedy nonsense you used to see on a truck stop placemat."

Then what happens?!?! Whamo, there it is for crisssakes! :p

In your youth did you ever run into this?

It completely blew my well-scrubbed, suburban mind when I was 15. I'd never met anybody who thought that way.

Now an entire political party and half the country does. Well... maybe half the country always did, but before the internet we just didn't know.

Strange days indeed.

To this day I consider it a wonderful break of fate that I was born, educated and entered the working world before personal game systems really came into mainstream existence. I remember in college one kid had an Atari system, but he was the only one any of us knew.

If I could have my choice I'd pick being born in the 1860s. And English.

And, well, rich.

It's all gone in the sh-tter since 1914, and that would have given me 50 glorious years of a classical education, eccentric amateur scientist, taking my Irish servant girls three at a time in the billiard room, being too old to be dragged into the Great War, and too dead to worry about Adolph.

Basically, Bertrand Russell without the depression.

Reminds me of Louis CK's bit about being white:

Here's how great it is to be white: I can get in a time machine and go to any time, and it would be ***#ing awesome when I get there! That is exclusively a white privilege. Black people can't fu#k with time machines! A black guy in a time machine's like, "Hey, anything before 1980, no thank you. I don't want to go."

But I can go to any time! The year 2. I don't even know what's happening then, but I know when I get there...

"Welcome, we have a table right here for you, sir."

"Thank you. Oh, it's lovely here in the year 2."

One Queen, an Empire, and some of the outstanding politicians in English history.

Do you want to opress the Welsh or Irish?
