Brilliance, pure brilliance. Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.
I was asked not to return to San Diego.
Thier loss.
An ex of mine was banned from Laramie Wyoming a few years ago because he jumped probation for Domestic Violence.
OK, I can understand a small town or villiage. But Toronto (and San Diego for that matter) are huge cities. Toronto has 4 million people (GTA). Unless you’re really fucking stupid (nothing in this story says this guy isn’t) you shouldn’t ever be picked up by the police for them to check you out.
Ah well, good riddance. We don’t need these fucked up people in Toront. We have far too many already 
Does anyone else besides me want to hear these stories too?
Me too, Skammer.
Hell yeah. I want to hear the stories.
Mine isn’t as interesting as you would think.
My little brother who was attending IU at the time booked a fishing cabin just outside of town, so me and my two older brothers and about a dozen of our friends went down there to go “fishing”.
Well “fishing” turned out to be getting up at 6:00 am to start drinking ungodly amounts of booze. At about 10:00 pm we had the brilliant idea to get dressed up in the best clothes we had with us and head into town.
We were dressed like you might expect a bunch of 22-23 year olds to be dressed if they were going clubbing in Chicago and looking to pick up girls because that was what we were used to. We also all had about $700 or $800 apiece on us because like I said we were used to blowing a weeks salary to go pick up girls on the weekend in Chicago.
The bottom line is that in a small town, it’s not a good idea for 15 guys to come blowing into town drunk off their asses, dressed like pimps, taking over every bar in town one after another, throwing around money like there’s no tomorrow and hitting on every girl they see.
About the only thing that could make things worse is if the girls go for it and quite a few of them end up back at the cabin where the drinking (and a fair amount of debauchery) continue till dawn.
I have a sneaking suspicion that a number of those girls were in relationships and that the sheriff was doing us a favor by getting us the hell out of town before the local boys decided they’d had enough and whole thing boiled over.
Like I said, just stupid kid stuff.

The dumb twit tried to pull a similar stunt with the local OSPCA I gather, he tried to just walk out with a dog. Fortunetly their cruelty agent happened to be there…and he is a large ex cop. They choose not to argue with him. So all shelters in the area know about him, but there is nothing to protect all the dogs advertised free to good homes in the papers.

The dog is considered property. The police asked me to assign a monetary value to her, so he is charged with stealing something worth $100. I don’t know if this will ever make it to court or what. I hope so, but the laws here to protect dogs are a joke.
I’m going to see if anyone at the college cares…but I don’t know, I mean, they know the guy’s history, and they didn’t care about that. The whole thing is messed up, I got to talk to police officer today about it, and it’s not an uncommon thing (not the whole dog stealing thing, but people who have been booted out of Torornto being sponsered in this city to play bball)
Anyone that thinks the way you train a pit bull is to feed them helpless animals is a moron. Anyone that says it “gives them the taste for blood” is also a moron and knows nothing about the breed. It’s too bad people actually think they can train a dog to be a good fighter like that.
That would be like training Evander Holyfield to fight by putting me in the ring with him.
I’ve owned many pit bulls. I have never fought my dogs but they do come from fighting stock. They are the best dogs I’ve ever owned. Completely trust worthy around small kids and anyone else they were introduced too.
While I don’t fight my dogs I am indebted to the men that knew what they were doing and producing some of the finest most STABLE animals known.
Anyone that knows my dogs has had to concede that they aren’t all bad and maybe, just maybe it’s the people that are raising them that are responsible for the bad ones.
Stupid people. There should be a law against stupidity.
Now I am SO happy my dog is a bit skittish; he’ll go up to anyone, but doesn’t like it when they reach for him first.
Unfortunately, I have no idea how he ended up like this, so I can’t tell you how to train your dog.
Magayuk, I command you to take yourself out and buy yourself a beer, or a Coke, or whatever way you like to treat yourself. You’re a good human being. I love animals more than I love most people, and the kind of people that would do something like that are right up there with serial killers, IMO.
On the topic of being banned from cities, my ex was banned from Seattle after a SWAT team busted down the wrong door and found him sitting in the middle of about 6,000 dollars worth of marijuana paraphenelia. They told him to leave town in 24 hours and never come back. What was so funny was that this was like five years before I met him, and about two years after that when we took, like, an overnight trip to Seattle, he was totally on edge and looking over his shoulder the whole time. Alarums do not start sounding the second you walk back into town, dum dum. :rolleyes:
In “French Lick”, though, I imagine in such a small place it would definitely not be a wise idea to return.
I had an image in my mind of zoid tipping Larry Bird’s cow.
On top of Momma Bird.
:eek:
