Victor Lustig heard saying "amateurs!"

Why can't they just drag a church like normal people.

Yancey?

Mystery solved, but I'd still like to know what happened to the giant flag.

Has anyone else here in WI noticed how many strraaaange ass news stories come from Sheboygan?

I would love to have a device that generates electricity like that. Because, the electric company legally HAS to buy any surplus that you generate. How awesome is that?

heh heh heh, you said SHEboygan...

(hotlinked, shamelessly)

/wanted for questioning

When it comes to energy sources, is it surprising to you that the words gas and wind relate to farts?

emptykay: Has anyone else here in WI noticed how many strraaaange ass news stories come from Sheboygan?

It's called Sheboygan. It could be a perfectly normal story that occurs multiple times a year in any other town and it would still be a strange ass story just for using the word Sheboygan.

Yeah but unless you got it for free it would sure take a long time to stick it to the man.

I'm guessing no one who posted so far actually read the article.

Hell, they know who took it, and he may have had a right to do so...

"If you've seen somebody dragging a 135-foot wind turbine down the street, the Sheboygan County Sheriff would like a word with you"

Wow, that would be a giant Obama, I mean Osama.

Did anybody else's brain hurt from reading that article?

It confused me!

Now I want a bratwurst on a hard roll and a Spotted Cow.

Thanks, Fark

Wanted for questioning...

digidorm: You know, the secret to theft is being so big and bold nobody suspects a thing.

If somebody sees you climb into a house through a window at 10pm all dressed in black, they're going to call the police. But you show up at 10am with a housemoving truck while someone's out of town, fifty people will gather to watch you take the whole thing away without a second thought.

But only if you bring a clip-board. You can get away with anything so long as you're carrying a clip-board.

Same thing with janitors. You wear a janitorial uniform and push a cart or barrel, and you can walk off with ANYTHING. People will even hold the door for you as you do.

Big Coal wanted for questioning.

Could you go ... cut your grass? Then look *that* way for a half an hour?

I see what you did there.

I grew up in Plymouth, 10 miles from Sheboygan. No one ever believes me when I tell stories of the people from the area. In Plymouth, there is a Big Strong black dude (as far as I know, the only black dude in Plymouth. I haven't visited in awhile) who would walk up and down the street wearing wrestling garb. Olympic style, not Pro-wrasslin. Heres a video:

/ NOT a RR!

Strangely I was just driving through Wisconsin and saw a couple turbine blades being driven down the street.

Farkthecat: Bf+

I see what you did there.

In retrospect, I should have captioned it "security photo of suspects leaving the scene", but oh well... Next time, I guess.

wooooooo wisconsin. all bloodclots and cheeseheads rejoice

The flag project has been scrapped. After that many failed attempts it was just making Acuity look bad.

The two Sheboygan-related strange things that come most readily to me are "The Creature that Ate Sheboygan," and the fact that the cataclysmic asteroid in the pnp role playing gamie Paranoia was "roughly the size of Sheboygan."

"Removing the wind turbine would have been no small task: The 120-foot galvanized steel base weighs in at 8,200 pounds, and the three approximately 15-foot fiberglass and Kevlar blades and hub tack on another 2,500 pounds, according to the manufacturer's Web site."

Would fit in the average American pickup truck then...

Yeah and my nephew has been involved with 2 of them. He was the responding deputy to the decapitated deer statue and he shot the emu.

Malbar, I'm from near there (Plymouth) and the town is pretty weird, despite the name.

Unavailable for comment.

I didn't know repo men did wind turbines.

What... the... fark... ?

Forgive me for my sheer ignorance since I am a British resident, but how does one drag something like that along? God knows how he went about unnoticed...

With our huge American penis, and brushed-and-flossed teeth.

Duh.

Oh goddamnit Sheboygan.

"Sheboygan." I enjoy saying "Sheboygan."
