A selection of leftover gems from the week gone by:

TAYLOR, MI -- A man with an apparent hair fetish was acc-
used of stalking a long-haired 7-year-old girl and trying to
break into her home in an attempt to cut off her locks.

46-year-old Mark Philip Thackery is jailed on $100K -- charged
with stalking a minor and attempted home invasion.

The suspect approached the girl's mother at a garage sale at the
family's home last July and offered her $100 for the girl's pony-
tail, Sgt. Jeff Turner said.

"She, of course, freaked out and shooed him away,'' Turner said.

After that, the family - reported seeing him parked near their
home at least seven times. On April 7, the girl's father was in
his car when he noticed a man trying to open the front door to
their home. His wife and daughter, who were inside, called po-
lice while the father confronted the man, who then left.

MIAMI -- A domestic argument turned deadly after Lionel Chery,
and his wife, Nadege Garcon, couldn't settle their differences.

Chery pulled a gun and shot his 30-year-old wife to death, then
shot his mother-in-law, Loiuse Garcon, before he turned the
gun on himself.

The couple's four children were in the home at the time of the
shooting, but they were not injured.

DAYTON, OH -- 58-year-old Kenneth Nance, accused of killing
his minister during a Bible study class, has pleaded guilty to
an aggravated murder charge.

Our Hero will be sentenced April 26 for the death of Elder An-
drew Lofton, pastor of Christ Temple Apostolic Faith Church.

Lofton, 65, was the father of 11 adult children.

Detectives said Nance, a church choir member, shot Lofton 4
times during the class because of "differing theological interp-
retations of Revelation." Lofton died from bullet wounds in
his back and chest.

WEST PALM BEACH -- Three children on the way home from
church perished as the van driven by their uncle veered off
the roadway and into a canal.

The van's driver, Michael Ellis, escaped without injury.

15 year-old Jean Ellis, her 12-year-old sister, Fiona, and their
7-year-old brother, Andrew had just left the Pahokee church
where their father is pastor.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

DAYTONA BEACH -- Craig Glover is dead after being shot in
the head Sunday during Black College Reunion.

Witnesses told police two men were arguing over a woman be-
fore the shooting started. Grover died in the hospital several
hours later.

Ansie Pierre of Miami, who was found a short distance away,
was shot in the abdomen, and remains hospitalized in stable
condition.

Despite the shootings and two stabbings, Mayor Bud Asher
said there were "no major problems" with the annual event.

Police confiscated 10 guns and made 328 arrests.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

DAYTON, OH -- A west-central Ohio couple has been charged
with neglecting and abusing their four children, ages 4-17,
who cannot speak and who never attended school.

Lucinda Sizemore said her children were born at home and do
not have birth certificates or Social Security numbers. Detect-
ives said the children were almost never allowed out of their
home, and communicated with each other by gibbering.

Sizemore and her husband, Edward, 41, are each being held in
lieu of $10K bond pending a pretrial hearing next week. The
children are in the custody of Children's Services.

And finally:

SACHSE, TX -- Police are investigating the death of a baby
born to a 13-year-old girl who allegedly was made pregnant by
her 16-year-old brother.

Sachse police today are awaiting results of an autopsy on the
tiny corpse by the M.E.'s office to determine if it was stillborn,
or if it died after birth.

The girl told her parents and police the infant, who was found
in a shallow grave in the backyard of the girl's Sachse home,
was stillborn. She said her brother sexually assaulted her last
July. The boy reportedly admitted the sexual incident when off-
icers questioned him. He was arrested late Monday on a charge
of juvenile delinquency/aggravated sexual assault.

The incident was discovered when the parents of the children
noticed a plastic bag poking out of the ground and queried their
daughter about it. She broke down and admitted there was a ba-
by inside the bag and that it was hers.

Reminds me of a cute high school prank a friend of mine pulled years ago.
There was some kid in their circle of friends who nobody really liked too
much. They all thought he was sort of dumb and obnoxious. The cool thing
with those guys was chewing copenhagen, so they decided to introduce their
not-much-of-a-friend to the joys of chewing. They got an empty copenhagen
can and filled it with powdered horse shit and packed it down good, and
then offered him some. They let him chew it for quite a while, listening
all the time to him saying how good it was, and how much he liked it. When
they told him what it really was, he got violent. Which proves, I suppose,
that chewing horse shit causes violence.

I understand that Micronesian fruit bats are eaten whole, contents
of their intestine and all. Since these animals only eat fruit,
said contents actually don't taste very bad.

ObTasteless: I'm sure they taste better than the food at the UIUC
cafeteria. That's not a dining establishment I remember very fondly,

That stopped when parents, newly awakened to the touchy-feely, new age
sentiments from the quacks at the various boards of health that these
seemingly innocent candy coffin nails could lead to harder stuff in
the future. Like real cigarettes...

All I know is *my* kid's not getting any more "temporary"
tattoos.

She got one in a plastic Easter egg, we applied it, and the
stupid thing wouldn't wash off for weeks. We scrubbed her
little arm raw and still there was the outline of a smiling
green space alien. I thought we were going to have to
amputate before I discovered that good old dad spit was
effective where several cleansers weren't.

ObT: The thing growing on the ear of the Indian convenience
store owner I saw last weekend. It was 2-3 inches long,
gnarled, and whitish. It looked just like a really long
cigarette ash.

I almost giggled out loud as I contemplated diving over the
counter, ripping it off his head, and running out of the
store with it.

You are absolutely right. I worked at a fish market for awhile and

The bitchy customers got the tract rubbed lovingly into the shrimp

Listerine, maybe.

ObDUI: If most all mouthwashes contain alchohol, and you use one before
driving, wouldn't you register on a breathalyzer even if you haven't
had anything to drink? I bought a breathalyzer from a Corvette
accessories catalog years ago, but it registered high. I showed legally
drunk on one beer, which is an impossibility if you weigh over 175

Anyone know what ever happened to that invention they came out with that

I had big plans, when that hit the open market, to walk around the bars and

They're fed on brandy. That's what helps clean them out, and gives the

Now you've stirred up a poorly remembered memory. Does anybody know the
name of the little bird that is such a delicacy to the French that it is
illegal to eat. I remember that former Frog Commie PM Mitterand
travelled to North Africa or somewhere to eat some for his last meal
before Mr. C nabbed him. The birds were poached by some renegade
Basques or something.

Eating this little avian, whole--bones, beak, innards, and all, involves
some kind of screwy ritual that features hiding your head under a napkin
while you eat li'l tweety so Glub can't see you while you're doing it.

It is supposed to be the most incredible gastronomic sensation a human
can ever experience, like a lifetime's worth of orgasms flooding over
you at once. Can any of you booger-eaters help "flesh" out this story.

I saw a guy skate on a DWI one time because he sprayed breath freshener
spray into his mouth just before he blew the breathalyzer (is there a
sticking your dick in the pickle slicer angle here?) and scored
impossibly high. The cops let him wait until the alcohol in his mouth
evaporated, and I guess the alcohol in his lungs/bloodstream got
processed in the same amount of time. Years later a friend learned from
his AA buddies to carry listerine in his car to duplicate this trick.
My friend was only in AA because he'd racked up a DWI.

I worked for a vet who's favourite tactic was keeping a travel sized
bottle of Colgate 100 mouthwash in the glove box of his Caddy. If he
came on a Road Check, he'd swig a touch of this and would indeed blow
high. *Very* high. *Astronomicaly* fucking high. Seems the alcohol so
saturated the mouth, that the reading was thrown out immediately,
since the reading was evidently so high that the driver would have to
be in a near comatose state to read so high.

*That* might have made the little town-run Easter hug hunt

As it was I had to be satisfied with the only mildly

Shamelessly stolen from 'Wine Spectator':


Ortolans are songbirds, once common in
southwestern France, now rare
and protected by law. For centuries, the French
have considered them
delicacies, and an elaborate ritual of preparing
and eating them became part
of any gourmet's rites of passage. Today it's
illegal in France to serve them
commercially. But Ducasse managed to find 50
ortolans (they are about the
size of lemons and cost $50 each) and brought
them to the United States in
a diplomatic pouch. He also brought along a
$15,000, 1,000-pound
gas-fired rotisserie and a chef, Marc Valet, to
Le Cirque to cook the birds.

Ducasse carefully set the stage. Handing out
large napkins specially
embroidered for the event with the chefs' names,
he explained that the
ortolans would come out sizzling in small
casseroles. Each diner would put
a napkin over his or her head, grasp the bird by
the beak and eat it whole
from the neck. (A restaurateur in the Rhône told
me he once saw Bocuse
eat two dozen ortolans at a sitting, tiny beaks
rimming his plate like a
crown.) The napkin was essential: It captured all
the savory aromas and hid
the guilty diner from the eyes of the law and the
Lord.

Peter Kump, president of the Beard Foundation,
visibly emotional, rose to
say that he had long heard of ortolans, but had
never eaten one before, and
described his sensations in almost mystical
terms. Valet said that probably
never again would he roast 50 ortolans at one
time. Some of the journalists
were squeamish. Most ate with relish. One decided
to bite the hand that fed
her. The next day's Daily News splashed the birds
on the cover with the
headline "Rare Bird Killed for N.Y. Feast" and
quoted animal rights
activists calling the ortolan dish "inappropriate
and probably unethical."

"Even if there were only 500 ortolans left in the
world, we should eat 50 of
them," Ducasse responded. "Keep the species
alive, yes, but also a
tradition of hunting and eating that's lasted for
centuries and become almost
a myth. In 1994 in France, it's likely that not
even 500 people ate an
ortolan. It's part of our soul, and it's
disappearing."

Fin de siècle. An era is coming to an end, a way
of life with its roots in the
Middle Ages, that began with ortolans and reached
a peak with this
century's great French cuisine. Bocuse is a
legend because he is a living link
with that great past. Le Cirque is its most
brilliant outpost in America. But
as Ducasse sadly recognized, the times are
changing. You can read all
about it in the Daily News.

Strangely enough, it is an ethical violation for a lawyer to descend so
quickly. Lawyers can lose their licenses for doing that. So, what have we

subdivision pay for the move.

Unfiltered Pall Mall 100's. Had a grandfather who liked
these almost as much as Chesterfields. Some really cool
French cigarettes. Gauloises? maybe, I think. Filter
appeared to be cotton wadding. Smoke tasted like hot asphalt
fumes. Lungs felt sandpapered after smoking one. Clove
cigarettes. Krakatoa Kretek is the only brand-name I can
remember, although there were a couple of others. Quite big
with high school kids, early to mid 80's. A pack contained
ten. A pack and a half a day clove habit would have you
coughing blood inside of 6 months. I always hated the
sickly-sweet smell of these wafting over the local punk-rock
hangouts I frequented back then. I took up smoking big,
expensive cigars as a form of revenge. After 2 puffs, you
can't really smell anything anymore, but everyone around you
starts making faces. Very amusing. I would also offer a drag
to someone suffering from acute nicotine withdrawal and
watch as they tried to decide whether or not to put the
half-dissolved, tobacco-slobber soaked end to their lips or
go on suffering. When they took it, many didn't realize that
cigars are not usually inhaled. Then you could watch them
turn red, double over and begin hacking convulsively.

They're called Gitanes.

ObT: When I was a lad of the tender age of 15 and was caught smoking
for the second time by the 'rents, my dad went out and got me a pack
of these. For those of you not familiar with Gitanes, think of pipe or
cigar tobbaco parading as a cigarette, unfiltered. Anyway, he sat me
down and started me up smoking. And smoking and smoking. The whole
world took on a hazy yellowish appearance (my mom told me later that
the whites of my eyes took on a yellow hue). He was insisting that I
chain smoke the entire contents of the pack. Needless to say I smoked
until I puked my dinner of fish n' chips not once, not twice, but 3
times and was on the verge of passing out. It was my dad's primitive
attempt at "aversion therapy". The next morning I awoke thinking

My aunt used to smoke Chesterfields, she had cartons of them in her
pantry. Did cigarettes used to some in wooden boxes like cigars, back
in the 60's? That's the way I remember them.

My uncle turned me on to cigarettes when I was about fourteen. He sent
me into a store to buy some Belairs for him. I don't know why he
couldn't get them himself, maybe he was barred from buying cigarettes
because he coughed up a lung in the store. He had a horrible cough,
like harshing out on a seed hit. I remember him discussing various
cough remedies with my aunt's cleaning lady, another chainsmoker.
Both of them died of lung cancer, but, hey, they were old. At least
they enjoyed themselves.

Anyway, I was sent onto the store despite my protests that they
wouldn't sell them to me. I remember passing a woman with real, two
inch chin whiskers and a body like a sack of Chernobyl potatos. I
walked out with a fresh pack of Belairs. My uncle didn't let me keep
the change, and he didn't offer me a smoke. My aunt would have given
him another bris with a butcher knife if she'd smelled ciggies on me.
But a year later, when I bought my own pack of smokes, it was Belairs.
If I remember correctly, I soon moved on to Kools, then Lucky Strikes,
Camels (before they added filters for all of you pussies), Marlboros,
Winchesters, back to Marlboros, then Marlboro 100's, then finally
Marlboro Light 100's. Then I quit.


Alraune I'd rather switch than fight.

I seem to remember that cartons were cardboard, packs were
paper or cardboard, same as now. I'm hardly an authority on
this, though, as when the 60's ended, I was 5. Maybe snob
brands like Shermans (I don't mean the ones that used to be
sold in the ghetto before crack got popular), or English
Ovals or something.

ObT: A reminiscence from 14 or 15 years ago: watching these
two girls inject a solution of spit in which they had soaked
a few squares of crappy blotter acid. The syringe they
shared belonged to a third party. The concoction had been
mixed up in an empty lipstick tube . They wondered why they
suffered tremors and a general feeling of unwellness 15
minutes later.

Yeah, right. No doubt someone's idea of a joke that stuck.

"And before eating it, you must chant these words to help clear the throat
so you'll taste all the flavor..."
