Tabs Keepers

I was at a high school graduation ceremony last night. I counted five police officers and one deputy. I overheard the following conversation between a couple of kids:

  • Kid 1: Man, why do we have so many god-danged cops?
  • Kid 2: In case there’s a riot.
  • Kid 1: Why would there be a riot?
  • Kid 2: I don’t know. There could be.

I’m with Kid 1. Why? This wasn’t a beer swigging event or other adult-only venue. Why did we need tabs kept on us. This wasn’t even campus security. Why was that necessary.

We’re living under Nanny Law

Don’t Tease

I’m a UFO nerd. Everyone who knows me either knows that or eventually figures it out. I’ve noticed a trend on the documentary channels that when there is an asteroid strike back 10,000 years ago they now call it an extraterrestrial event, which of course makes my ears perk up. It’s kind of a letdown.
