my wife told me about this, it's a sweet story.

As such, let's see how you farkers can piss on this.

Police befriend an old geezer instead of shooting him/her? How odd.

wow. dusty. in PG. Luckily that dust is being diffused by blaring Go-Go music.
Chuck Brown FTW.

PG County makes no friends, yo. It rolls too hard fo dat shiat.

I was pleasantly surprised that the headline was not being ironic, since the usual PG police method of 'befriending' someone involves bullets.

That's what I was thinking too. I had thought they tazed her to death or shot her while she was shaking her fist at them, from her wheelchair, on her front porch, and across the street. That would have been more in line with their methods.

You mean they didn't shoot first and ask questions later ?

Amusement		2012-09-24 10:54:53 AM

Indeed to see a wonderful story.

Okay you can laugh, and Nobody realizes it, but on September 17th we were preliously close to causing a black hole of coolness that could have ripped apart the fabric of spacetime, do you have any idea how close we came to reach the Funk Event Horizon when the Chuck Brown Band with George Clinton played a memorial concert to Chuck?

/the roof off the sucker, was very nearly torn.

Resident Muslim		2012-09-24 11:22:47 AM

Glad the headline was fixed.
Had me confused.

/doesn't take much to confuse

Hmmm... Extremely old person living alone, probability of dieing within a year or two, no children, in big mansion full of antiques. Now they have to figure out a way to get rid of the nephew, or how to haul stuff away as "evidence".
