Snake? SNAKE?? SNAKE!!!!!

Unavailable for comment.

FTFA: One of France's highest-profile prisoners escaped from jail on Wednesday by packing himself into a cardboard box.

Must've been a cat burglar.

This is why max security prisoners should all be fitted with "Running Man" style collars that explode if they leave the prison or if guards trigger them...

Here is the rest of the headline

"France is expected to surrender to UPS today"

I wonder if the fun loving but persecuted gitmo transferees are paying attention.

Six years awaiting trial? Is France's court system that screwed up, or did he have a really good shyster?

Ah, the French police. No wonder.

the more interesting part of the story is that he has been there for 5 years and he hasn't had a trial yet

Senaldun: the more interesting part of the story is that he has been there for 5 years and he hasn't had a trial yet

How about the part where they consider his escape an admission of guilt? I don't care how innocent you are, 5 years without a trial is a pretty damned good reason to escape.

Please, the correct term is bastard barrister.

Avowel? which one? A E I O, or U?

Maybe he really is innocent, and he was burning with a desire for vengeance against the real killer. He concocts a wild plan - build a box, drop a comment, ship himself out. A daring leap to freedom. He employs his forestry skills to elude capture long enough to make his way to his former colleague turned betrayer, confronting the man in the dead of night, spinning off a witty one-liner - giving the man just enough time to hurl himself at his attacker, resulting in a desperate battle for survival. They both fatally wound each other, but the escapee, dragging his broken body to the hidden brick by the fireplace, extracts and clutches in his dying hands the evidence to exonerate himself, to be found by authorities in the morning. Then, since it's France, there's a wild orgy followed by coffee.

Them clothes got laundry numbers on them. You remember your number and always wear the ones that has your number. Any man forgets his number spends a night in the box. These here spoons you keep with you. Any man loses his spoon spends a night in the box. There's no playing grab-ass or fighting in the building. You got a grudge against another man, you fight him Saturday afternoon. Any man playing grab-ass or fighting in the building spends a night in the box. First bell's at five minutes of eight when you will get in your bunk. Last bell is at eight. Any man not in his bunk at eight spends the night in the box. There is no smoking in the prone position in bed. To smoke you must have both legs over the side of your bunk. Any man caught smoking in the prone position in bed... spends a night in the box. You get two sheets. Every Saturday, you put the clean sheet on the top... the top sheet on the bottom... and the bottom sheet you turn in to the laundry boy. Any man turns in the wrong sheet spends a night in the box. No one'll sit in the bunks with dirty pants on. Any man with dirty pants on sitting on the bunks spends a night in the box. Any man don't bring back his empty pop bottle spends a night in the box. Any man loud talking spends a night in the box. You got questions, you come to me. I'm Carr, the floor walker. I'm responsible for order in here. Any man don't keep order spends a night in...

StaleCoffee: followed by coffee.

Well played.

Well, I don't care if it rains or freezes,
Long as I have my plastic Jesus
Riding on the dashboard of my car
Through all trials and tribulations,
We will travel every nation,
With my plastic Jesus I'll go far.

CHORUS
Plastic Jesus, plastic Jesus
Riding on the dashboard of my car
Through my trials and tribulations,
And my travels thru the nations,
With my plastic Jesus I'll go far.

I don't care if it rains or freezes
As long as I've got my Plastic Jesus
Glued to the dashboard of my car,
You can buy Him phosphorescent
Glows in the dark, He's Pink and Pleasant,
Take Him with you when you're travelling far

I don't care if it's dark or scary
Long as I have magnetic Mary
Ridin' on the dashboard of my car
I feel I'm protected amply
I've got the whole damn Holy Family
Riding on the dashboard of my car

You can buy a Sweet Madonna
Dressed in rhinestones sitting on a
Pedestal of abalone shell
Goin' ninety, I'm not wary
'Cause I've got my Virgin Mary
Guaranteeing I won't go to Hell ....

Please, the correct term is bastard barrister Avocat.

Bridgitte Bardot exhibition (new window)

Treiber has been in prison awaiting trial since 2004, charged with murdering French actor Roland Giraud's daughter Geraldine, and her friend Katia Lherbier.

He is due to stand trial early next year in a case that shocked France.

WTF? How is this possible?

Which, of course, explains why there are so few comments in this thread. Everybody's busy.

Not any more

What can brown do for you?

I'm disappointed by the lack of Metal Gear Solid references.

I think you need glasses, buddy. I only skimmed the thread and saw three.
