"When it was over, the victim noticed he'd been stabbed several times in the stomach"
You'd think that'd be an attention grabber.

St Cloud... color me not surprised

I like green eggs.... got nothin.

I would not fight you, angry man,
You just might stab ole' Sam I am.

happens all the time.

Sneetches, Lorax, et al.

Stabbing trifecta in play!

/don't stab me bro

zepplinrules: You'd think that'd be an attention grabber.

I suspect the liberal consumption of intoxicating beverages may have been a factor.

\I'm not Ric Romero, but I play him on TV

In the story, however, a highway is eventually built around the two, and no one is stabbed.

That made me laugh.

I was hoping for a bitter battle in a bottle.

I always assumed Seuss was all about pot. What with the cutting down all the valuable fiber sources, and fascination with putting a turtle on top of another turtle and watching it.

I'm bitter and cranky, disgruntled and crabby
Get off my sidewalk or I'm gettin' all stabby!

Disapproves.

I would not stab you in St. Cloud.
I would not stab you in a crowd.
I would not stab a Vikings fan.
I would not stab you in the hand.
I would not could not smoke some rocks.
I should not crotch rot eat this box.

Me three.


So.....what's the lesson here? You can compare any story to another story that is completely different?

I would not fight you angry man,
Not with a knife or with my hands,

You are just too stubborn yes you see,
You might send me to the infirmary.

I will not fight you angry man,
You just might stab ole' Sam I am.

So why didn't they just build a highway around them?

Looks like somebody had a nubian moment

All joking aside, people should always walk down the right side of the sidewalk (or left, in england) to avoid situations like this.

And if you're walking super slow, get the fark out of the way.

You make a good point, but pot usually gives a person a case of the mellows... or so I'm... uh... told. Y'know? For getting all stabby, there's nothing like a toot or two of the finest twist-off tonic. There's a reason, after all, that they call it Mad Dog.

This is just more proof that Dr. Suess is timelessly awesome.

/butter-side up or you're not an American

I do not like green eggs and crack. I do not like them, hear me Jack?!

We looked!
Then we saw him first a mighty biatch slap!
We looked!
And we saw him now stab on this chap!
And he said to us,
"Mind yo' bizness unless you too want some of dis' crap?"
I know it's not dark
In St. Cloud it's not sunny.
But I'll fark you up.
Fark you up fo' yo' money.

This.

Though it won't always help you. I was walking to work about 6 months ago and some chav coont decided he'd cross over to walk into me and give me a slap. This was followed by him saying, "come on then" and demanding a fight. At half past 8 in the morning. I laughed at him and walked off.

Thanks for the spoiler warning, arsewit.

She comes in colors everywhere: happens all the time.

Sneetches, Lorax, et al.

I was in love with both of those books growing up.

Couldn't find my copy of Lorax, but grabbed Sneetches from my parents house when I worked at a Girl Scout camp one summer. Read it to girls who couldn't fall asleep.

Between that, the pants, and the Zacs, hopefully some of the messages will stay with 'em. And they almost always asked me to read it again the next night. Which meant that I got less sleep, but that was okay.

/Dr. Seuss kicks so much ass
//what's been done with his work since he's died, not so f--king much

Twitch Boy: St. Cloud - the Saginaw of Minnesota.

That metaphor => everything makes much more sense now. Thanks.

danknight: I like green eggs.... got nothin.

Yup, I clicked on the article thinking the report would be on a fight over eating eggs and ham.

When life imitates the plot to a Dr Seuss book, you know someone's going to get stabbed

Actually, I'd have to say that's about the complete and total opposite of "what I know". When did anyone ever get stabbed in a Seuss work?

/outside of his anti-Nazi political work during the war, maybe

Some people never learned how to walk.

It's easy, and uses the same rules as driving. Keep right, slow down in heavy traffic, make sure it's clear before going around a blind corner.

I'd say that 98% of people get this.

/The other 2% are trying to mug you.

I think this is how jousting was invented.

I'm sure pot wasn't involved in the incident. However, the reporting of the incident, where the reporter reporting on a stabbing incident immediately thinks of Dr. Seuss, then writes about it, may have involved some pot.

I think ALL life immigrates the Dr. Suess books.

He wrote them as lessons for kids, to kind of give them a heads up as to what they will encounter as they grow older and range farther from their parents.

star-bellied snitches get stitches... or something like that.

My 4 yr old loves the pants. It's her favorite. Weird.

good thing this didn't happene on Mulberry Street... It could have escalated into something much bigger.
