Doesn't raising terror threat level seem like a bad idea to anyone else?

white powder, thats so 2002... a head on a stick is more appropriate now

"The card's sender could face federal prosecution on charges of mailing threats or even using a weapon of mass destruction, he said."

Jeez....

common sense surrenders. how in the world can someone think sending a powder substance through the mail is a harmless prank? i'm sure a motivated prosecutor could find a way to send these 'tards to gitmo.

Cube wanted for questioning.

For all the latest medical poop
Call Surgeon General C. Everett Koop.
Poo poo pa-doop.

Your dog wants nothing on the sort, except to be left out of unassociated 'your dog' cliches.

and maybe a bone.

I'm waiting for Rod Serling to step out of the shadows and comment on this quaint little town that has just found itself debating far into

the twilight zone.

If the card had been signed by the Shepherds, maybe...
But talcum powder is just what you would expect from the Barbershop Gang. No threat there.

A little talcum
Is always walcum.

i bet the mayor just had smelly feet...

Perducci		2005-01-06 06:41:55 PM

To the hip, the hop, the hippie..

Stunt_Cock!		2005-01-06 06:44:43 PM

Could've been anthrax, but was just talc. That's what I call a close shave.

/no shame

Airportmatt		2005-01-06 06:45:23 PM

This sounds like a job for The Mystery Men!

SweetlyKali		2005-01-06 06:46:06 PM

The Barbershop Gang?

What is this, the eastern folks' 'civilized' attempt at the wild west?

Yeesh.

Blastmycash		2005-01-06 06:49:46 PM

Now if they had sent real anthrax it would have been tHe funay.

I did like the special touch of "roadkill left on lawn", need to remember that one. I think I will modify it to "multiple roadkills stuffed under porch/crawlspace in winter so they will be good and rotten by the summer"

The Mayor is a Demmmmycrraaaaaaat!

UVbLue		2005-01-06 07:36:27 PM

a group of Pevely residents, most of them retired, who like to gossip and gripe over coffee with the local coiffeur.

Obviously a major threat to national security.

d00fy		2005-01-06 07:42:30 PM

Obviously, they're retired, they've got nothing but time on their hands. And once they are done with vaselining the mayor's door knobs, and putting dog feces under his vehicle's door handle, who knows what they excalate to next.

JBalkwill		2005-01-06 08:02:09 PM

Better get all the castor beans out of that county.

White powder?

Sign me up!

RancidOne		2005-01-06 09:39:10 PM

Too bad for these guys when the Postal Inspectors show up. They have about the same sense of humor as the Secret Service.

heyzeus		2005-01-06 10:06:06 PM

yup, this sounds like jefferson county to me.

So_it_goes		2005-01-06 11:28:13 PM

If you change Barbershop Gang to Soggy Bottom Boys and talcum powder to Dapper Dan Pomade and mayor to Mississippi Governor and left out the threat thing you'd have these gentlemen.
