So, I was involved in a 5 state manhunt this weekend
My friends kidnapped me for my birthday which is a common practice around here. Anyway, I was in the back end of my friends Explorer and they decided to stop at a 7-11 and put me in a seat so I would have a seat belt. Anyway, the guy at the 7-11 thought it was a REAL kidnapping and called 911.
They roped off the place and gathered evidence and put out an a warning to the border patrols in Oregon, Idaho, Nevada, Washington, and California to be on the lookout for us. And then they began randomly pulling over red Explorers here in Portland to make sure it wasn't the kidnappers.
Overall, an interesting weekend to say the least.

Hah, I've done this, except it's not a common practice around here, and we all had ski masks on. Plus, we rented a sketchy cargo van.
Funny story!

Happy Birthday anyway...

<strong>So your birthday prank led police authorities on an unwarranted (tax paid mind you) goosechase across 5 states.

For real. Screw you and your friends for having creative fun. Be serious and reserved!
And even though it's fun, you shouldn't move any faster than a steady jog unless you are participating in an organized sporting activity. Esspecially if you are a black man in a subdivision. If you get arrested and thrown in jail, you were asking for it.
And don't look at police cars for too long if you look like anything other than a golfer. You deserve to be searched if you do.
Next year, have your party a home. I find it extremely fun to sit at home wearing my party hat playing records to my gerbils and birdies. You and your friends should, too.

On a serious note, do you blame the guy who called 911? Wouldn't you have?

Oh he did the right thing, and I'm glad he did it. It just sucks how my posse was the one out of thousands that got in trouble for kidnapping their friend.
Just that in these days of "Homeland Security" the police forces are getting mighty thin and are tightly wound right now...I would have tried this myself...before 9|11 and the Washington Sniper shit. I just think the authorities have enough psychos to deal with instead of this "prank".
My new sig...(thanks Letterman)

Come on now! A little tolerance, perhaps?
