I can't believe I just heard that! Must be a pretty tenuous situation.

Well then, the two reporters who were there in the middle of NO, and saw the wave of men in orange jumpsuits flow into the streets and bang on their cars were wrong, I guess.

I've seen the conflicting reports, too. But I did read that a busload of prisoners have been delivered to the largest prison in LA. Maybe they figured the other prison couldn't absorb all of them, and just let the lower-level offenders go. (Didn't some city do that with lower-level offenders a couple of years ago because a federal judge ruled the prison was overpopulated and that was unconstitutional?)

The thread is fine, imo. One can set the browser to not dislay graphics if on a slow connection.

Wasn't my problem. Was speaking up for someone else's problem.

Evidently the settings features take care of it.

Sorry to have bothered. I like long titles and heading briefs. Maybe some dialup's don't. I don't really understand their problem very thoroughly. Just tried to get it addressed.

Sorry to have bothered anyone.

Perhaps you're right. Whatever is happening, it is chaos. :o(

Superdome. About 1:45 AM Central time.

Shot in the leg.

Perp was cornered in a lockerroom.

This was on the scanner last night, assuming the same NG person...

Welcome to Houston, Katrina Survivors.

Our football team sucks, too. But unlike you, we really don't give too much of a damn about it. Want a beer?

Need to kill a few hours? Get on a freeway and try to go somewhere.

Half of us have concealed carry permits and the other don't bother with them. Just try something.

Beads are not considered legal tender in strip clubs.

Our prisons are full. Our landfills aren't. Do the math. Behave yourselves.

Do not adjust your television set. Marvin Zindler looks that way. No need to panic.

Houston is home to a variety of multi-screen cinemas with 24 to 30 screens. That way you are absolutely certain to find a movie you'll absolutely hate at any time of the day or evening.

The train is not free to ride. It just appears that way, and nobody checks for tickets.

What you're smelling is Pasadena. You get used to it.

Yes, the Houston Chronicle is an actual newspaper. It only looks like and reads like a high school paper in some parts, but rest assured, it's what we read when the Internet is down and we can't get to Yahoo News.

Not every Mexican here is an illegal. Just the ones that speak decent English.

The Rockets no longer play at The Summit. God lives there now. And He wants your money.

Don't let those numbers and words on the buses fool you. Those things just drive around randomly all day. We've stopped trying to figure them out so we can concentrate on not getting hit by them.

Our Crime Lab is full of screwups and idiots. Remember that when an angry homeowner puts six rounds into your back and their lawyer says they shot you in the chest while breaking in. They'll get off. You'll still be dead.

Do not adjust your television set. Ed Brandon looks that way. No need to panic. (Unless you're under eighteen.)

If you even think about looting, you will go back to New Orleans in a body bag. Possibly two or three if you're really being a jackass.

We're well aware there's no "Party Street" here like you had with Bourbon Street. You're more than welcome to party on Richmond, but we close at two.

We just got done cleaning up South Main. Try not to make it a shitmagnet again, please.

(Courtesy, isfullofcrap)
