High Weirdness / Re: The Great Clown Panic of 2016

« on: October 14, 2016, 12:46:56 pm »

Well, two kids at my son's school just got arrested with this clown nonsense.

They thought it would be a great joke to write notes from 'Sparkles the Clown' and leave them around campus for teachers and students to find.
The notes had such cheerful messages as 'I'm gunna kill u all' and 'All teachers gunna die'

I just don't understand it. 14 is such a young age to have a felony record, and all because they thought it would be funny.

Earlier this week we got a call from the school board to keep an eye out and that everyone was on 'alert campus'.
There's been two instances so far, one was just a general threat about high schools in the county.
The other was for a specific middle school. Turned out to be a 6th grader joking around with his friends, but since it was over social media more than his friends saw and it was taken as a serious threat and the kid was arrested.

For dressing like a clown?

Making a threat against the school.
The Facebook post didn't give any details about the message, just that the kid was arrested and he said he was just joking around and wasn't serious.

the black ones are cursed with all being totally gorgeous and stylin at all tiems.

and cat racism in shelters for some reason. (yes, black cats have less rehoming probabilities than other cats)

it's the whole black cats = witches and bad luck thing. we've still got to warn people around here that have black cats to keep them in the week of halloween

It took me a couple minutes to realize they are trying to say cologne and that it wasn't another weird internet thing

People look at me strangely when I smile. I can just imagine the looks if I were to laugh...

There was a 90 year old in Fort Lauderdale that got arrested for feeding the homeless though.

It was posted back in 2012, so maybe it was relevant to whatever was top conversation on the board at the time?

Parents are moving back here at the end of the month
Mom hates being in Tampa, but they moved back there few years ago because it was closer to both her and Dad's jobs. Now that Dad can't work anymore she finally convinced him to come back here.

They're up here at least two or three times a month anyway either for doctor visits (they didn't want to go through the hassle of trying to find a good one again) or to visit us. The place they found is just a 5-10 minute drive away.

This makes everyone happy, especially my son since this means seeing them more often.

I remember them doing that for pets. Wanted everyone to make pages for them instead of profiles.
Maybe they have the same mindset about people that want to use an alias?

Well, after the backlash it seems Facebook is going to be a bit more lenient on it's real name policy.
Seems to be the same thing that Google went through a while back.

Why sites are so insistent on this real name stuff I don't understand.

Keep in mind, this is the same company that chose Xbox 360 over Xbox 2, because they were afraid that rubes would see Playstation 3 and just assume that 3>2.

Where was that logic when they came up with Xbox One for the new machine then?

This is why whenever asked about what label I fall under I tell them it's my own brand of insanity.
I'm a little this, a little that and at times maybe a bit of whatever is over there.

Being stuck in a box isn't really my thing. Which is something I've always known but am just now really coming to accept, and it's a bit scary quite honestly.
But at the same time I'm happier than when trying to fit some pre-made model.
