WTF is subby talking about?

Haha, I just read this story on my Yahoo News feed. Good stuff.

ScottHimself: WTF is subby talking about?

Bones is my guess.

The article is from a Milwaukee news source. The man is from Livingston, TN. Not difficult.

I would guess Bones also.

but it'd be a lot cooler if he did

ScottHimself: WTF is subby talking about?

It's a reference to the TV show "Bones", based on a series of crime novels.

My name is Bones so I am getting a...

But he still has lots of hot chicks around, right?

he did make some wisecracks, i guess. but we all know his greatest achievement, no not being uploaded into a datastream to meet Andy Dick, but teaching Seven to sing.

Wow, You can see the Appalachian mountains from Milwaukee?

You rang?

Submitter - you fail the internets.

Cool, many of us like a mystery to solve...

/detective at heart

Oh, I know what Bones is saying there, do you?

This article was great, this man and others who volunteer for the Doe networks should receive tons of recognition for the service and closure they provide.



This being a Fark thread, I don't expect anyone to actually understand human compassion.

Red Dwarf?

The article points up something I know but few other people know, it comes from having lived in tourist towns most of my life.

If two tourists come down from different towns and get into a dispute, and one kills another, the perpetrator runs like hell and the Police have little to go on.

Or if a tourist gets into it with a local, he can often hide the body and cover his tracks.

Converse of that, the tourist kills the local and runs like hell, they have a hard time identifying him and determining a motive.

Or sometimes two tourists come down, bring their beef with them and settle it there instead of at home, once again the cops are way behind the curve in any investigation. The main suspect has long since run like hell.

If people are transients and travel a lot, it is always questionable whether their traveling companions or a local did it if they wind up killed, and if the body is not discovered for a long time, the trail will be very cold indeed. Any witnesses have long passed through.

Bottom line: Murder is often a lot easier to get away with than most people realize, at least among people who are traveling, or in a tourist town.

I hate Bones. Stupid goddamn hologram tank. The realm of forensics is already fascinating enough without introducing science fiction.

What happened Subby? tag dismembered and lying in an unmarked grave somewhere?

/This dude rules. Carry On.

Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th reincarnation of Avalokishvara, the Bodhisattva of Compassion, sees what you did there.

morning_foil: Yeah, but he never even got to fark her, nor did he ever fondle her funbags when he possessed her. Colossal fail.

Yeah. At least John Crichton had his priorities straight when he wound up in Aeryn's body.

Wow this thread is a clusterfark of mixed sci-fi references.

I was going to go for Red Dwarf, as well.

Can we have some detective work on the headline, please.


Wisecracking scientists = Ghostbusters?

Hologram Generating Supercomputer = Holly from Red Dwarf?



/anyone commented on the actual article yet? No?

lessO2, is this you again? Fess up.

Abox

now that's the funnay I was looking for

And no one knew her name.

So locals blessed her with one. They buried her under an apple tree with a pink granite tombstone engraved with the words "Tent Girl."

wow. Tent Girl. Way to work hard on that blessing folks.

It is rare that a story is both this creepy and this heartwarming at the same time. Good catch!

olddinosaur, good points. If you check out the Doe network website, you'll see how many unsolved murders and missing people there are. Years ago, a drunk coworker confessed to me that ten years earlier, he had been driving drunk on a remote Montana highway and hit and killed someone -- and just drove back home to Canada.
