Carl Edwards said
SKIPPACK, WA - A community college student planned a school shooting, but apparently lacked the motivation to follow through. Carl Wesley Edwards was taken into custody Wednesday morning after his stepfather reported him to local police. The man became suspicious of his stepson when he was searching through the twenty-four year old's basement bedroom and found a hand-drawn map of the school, a case of .22 caliber ammunition, and a half-written manifesto. "The boxes of bullets is what really did ...

I don't know if it's because it's too soon, or because it's Monday, or maybe it's because I just got engaged over the weekend and I am feeling the impending doom that the action entails; but I did not find this article very funny.

How can you sympathize? The kid had .22 ammo. .22! What the fuck was he half-ass planning on doing? Pissing people off? He might as well had planned to attack with a BB gun. That is one of the few funny details of the article. Rule #1 of planning to go ape-shit on an institution now a days should be Shock Value. We are too desensitized with all the school shootings. You have to take it up a notch if you want that kind of attention. Go in there with a 50cal. Make sure you really splatter some people; otherwise you might not even make it to the 6 o'clock news.

Did this actually happen?
I can sympathize with the procrastinator, why do something today you can put off until tomorrow. I have had a busted sprinkler head for 3 weeks but its been raining enough to keep my lawn alive and I only have one more month of watering to go anyways.
is a solid writer, but this was a one trick pony. It was a funny trick, but it didn't really leave many places to go and you needed some more hyperbolic metaphors. Maybe more detail about the manifesto or a picture of it, written in crayon, with pictures and a little bong water stain on one side.
Mako - I'd say don't do it, but after taking a look at you, go ahead. Your lucky to be gettting any poon at all. Because I just noticed you're from Jackson, I must ask, How closely related are you two?? should keep the invite list a little smaller.

I went back to the IDate and I left right before the Guido did his snappy comeback. That sucks. I hope he was real and not Spartan or it would break my heart.
I love guys like this too. You know what? I do have a comic book collection. But if that greasy piece of shit met me at a bar he wouldn't say shit. He would have an epihany like a fucking Catholic saint. A divine light would shine down and a dove would float towards him on wings of gossamer and in that moment he would realize that he is not hard, not close to hard and not even slightly intimidating.

I hate it when guys try to act like banging a drunken college girl is hard. It doesn't take spit game. It doesn't take effort. You just give her a few drinks and then let her do her act. You're not special, you're just there.
I missed your call, Chris. I had a party at my house Saturday, and nothing got done for about a day and a half. The only thing is...I got to stop hanging with people that get lost all the time. I had to spend half the time on the phone going, "No make a right at the gas station. Why did you make a left at the 7-Eleven? What do you mean you're in the Poconos?"

DC, I was using a lebowski quote, not being dirty. Tom A is the perfect gentleman. Probably the nicest. funniest guy I have ever met.
I had no intention of going, none. when balls canceled, I was out. but then Tom called me up and within 2 seconds, I was convinced.
I asked my friend to come along so that it wouldn't be weird. But an hour before we were about to leave, she declined. I told her the reason I was going to NYC was to meet up with old school friends. Tom was in on this idea and we were going to lie all night. but she said, "i think I'll be bored if you're with all your old college friends so I'm not going". I didn't have the heart to tell her the truth.
But I still had to go because at this point it was too late to cancel. . .
