Has the World Gone Crazy? I'm Not Sure but the Invisible Pixie that Lives in my Sock Drawer Said It Has.

I'm not sure if it's the Earth's proximity to the sun or maybe some type of chemical imbalance in the air, but it seems like the world decides to up and go batshit crazy every once in a while. As proof of this, these are a sampling of the stories I've read about over the last 10 days:

Keith Richards admitted to mixing his late father's ashes with coke and snorting them. Then he said it was a joke. I'm honestly not sure which makes him more crazy: snorting his father or thinking that saying that he had would be funny. One thing's for sure; the jokes about Keith's absurd intake of drugs over the last 40 years aren't going away anytime soon. And have you seen a picture of him recently? If he looks like that on the outside, how does he still have functioning organs on the inside? (http://tinyurl.com/25fcvj)

This next story is about Michael Jackson, so I guess it's fair to say that I'm about 15 years too late to say he's "gone" crazy. However, this seems strange even for him. Apparently he is currently in negotiations to build a 50-foot tall robot replica of himself that will roam the Las Vegas desert and shoot laser beams. If built, it will supposedly be the first thing visitors see when they land in Vegas. Well, I guess that's one way to discourage minors from coming . . . (http://tinyurl.com/ypxe2q)

Karl Rove, calling himself MC Rove, rapped during a White House Broadcaster's dinner. I'd like to say more about this, but I'm speechless. (http://tinyurl.com/2kjnjy)

In a story that sounds like the beginning to a bad joke, a coyote walked into a Quizno's in the Chicago Loop and decided to just chill out and lie down in front of the soda machine. What's perhaps the most interesting thing about this story is not that a coyote traversed a number of city blocks in front of hundreds of people in the middle of the day and walked into a sandwich shop (did someone hold the door open for him or did he figure out how to do the revolving door?) but that he didn't eat anything. Um, aren't coyotes supposed to like meat? Doesn't this beg the question of what the hell is wrong with the meat at Quizno's?(http://tinyurl.com/2nekru)

And finally, at a fraternity house in Michigan a woman walked in, stripped down, and started masturbating and refused to leave for about a half hour. This may mark the first time in history that a fraternity has attempted to get a woman into her clothes and out of their house instead of the other way around. My favorite line in the story is this: "Fraternity members said they will throw out two couches in the living room because of the incident." You know you've done something wrong when you manage to disgust a fraternity. (http://tinyurl.com/36bdzh)

So, the frat boys were so appalled by the incident that they are willing to throw away the couches, yet they let her stay there for 30-40 minutes before calling the police....? I do have to ask the former KDR what they would have done if this situation happened in your old house?

Waiting for 30-40 doesn't surprise me. And not in a sexual way. You've got one little girl trespassing in your house and you have to call the cops?

One of the first rules of frat living is to call the cops as a last resort. You don't want the police sniffing around for any reason. When you are living with 40 guys between the ages of 18-22 you can be assured that at just about any time, there is something going on that shouldn't be.

30-40 minutes sounds about right. You yell at her to leave for a while. Threaten to call the cops for a while. Call everyone down to get a good look for a few minutes (Let's be real, they are still 18-22 year old guys.) Try other tactics. I think I would have tried threatening to take a cell phone video and posting it on youtube. Then, when all else fails, call the cops. 30-40 minutes sounds about right.
