If you were arrested for a high-profile crime, what about you would the media have a field day with?

‘It Was Inevitable Really’, Says All Who Knew Her, ‘The Surprise Is The Clown Makeup & Live Parrot.’

Quiet guy, odd sense of humor, foreigner from a violent culture. Few friends, over-educated, odd career path, posts on a message board of similar freaks who likely egged him on. I’m looking at you Clocky.

Oh, right, and I’m also in an odd loner-type field.

Is The Rampaging Shrink Proof That All Shrinks Are Nuts? Watch the 90 Minutes special, with guest comentators Chip and Dale!

I got kicked out of Disneyland, for hopping off of a slow ride and walking through a dark tunnel. I unknowingly tripped a kill switch and the lights turned on and the ride stopped.

Yep, lock me up.

Thought of some others they’d undoubtedly latch on to for me:

  • My large collection of horror novels
  • My collection of Ayn Rand novels and nonfiction
  • Seven cats

They might as well just lock me up now!

But wait, there’s more!

  1. I grow my pinky fingernails long.
  2. I have long hair and a beard.
  3. I enjoy talking in various different voices / accents.
  4. In Church, I often sing the soprano line with my falsetto voice.
  5. In addition to my collection of books about odd phenomena and
    the occult, I also have quite a number of books by and about H. P.
    Lovecraft and the Cthulhu Mythos.
  6. I have Cthulhu plushies on my desk at work.
  7. I own several books about swords, bowie knives, tomahawks,
    their history and usage. Also DVDs, like this one :

    Well, I’m having fun with all this! I wonder if the Feds are paying attention to this thread?

(Did I mention my delusions of grandeur and paranoia?)

Probably my office filled with books about vampires. And the multiple articles I’ve published about the same.

If what I did was bad enough, they might have a special on “the strange world of Unitarianism”.

Hey, it gets even worse. I was just looking at some WWII era cartoons on the internet (another bad sign) and I remembered that I used to Seig Heil during my sleep. I don’t know if I was dreaming I was at a Nazi Rally, but once my right arm went up the circulation got cut off so I’d have to wake up to pull the arm back down.

After several nights of endlessly Heiling Hitler I got fed up and strapped my arm to my side with a belt so I could sleep through the night. Take that, Hitler!

Then I went out and bought a bird from Paraguay which goose stepped and Seig Heiled me on the day Mengele’s death was confirmed. I let the bird live.

Hope you remembered to get out of the wheelchair before bed, Dr. Strangelove.

The ALA is very serious about privacy. You don’t have a library book history, no one does.

I’m quite shy and introverted, in my early 30’s and live with my parents. I’m not the most social person out there. I look very sweet and innocent. I’ve gone through clinical depression. I’m a Christian and go to church most every week. (Very suspect to some people nowadays even though it’s a very normal church!)I’m addicted to reading whumpy fanfiction so my Internet history probably looks a little strange!

Okay, I have to ask: what qualifies as “whumpy” fanfiction? :slight_smile:

ETA: Oh! I Googled it. I’m in worse trouble than I thought. I write whumpy fanfiction. :smiley:

Thats just what they want you to think.

"Wow, you know, toofs was such a friendly neighbor! Now that I’ve heard the news reports that he had over 23,000 rounds, or was it over 27,000 rounds of ammo in his house? And all those GUNS! Our kids were in danger the whole time and we didn’t even know it! The government really needs to do something to protect the children! CNN said he had all this military training and experience, so like, my neighbor was a trained KILLER!

So all I have to worry about is my Goodreads list of the last five years. :smack:

This thread reminds me of this awesome graphic:

How the Media Sees Guns
ETA: Miss Woodhouse reminds me of the time I went to Vegas and went to a shooting gallery so I could shoot an MP5K, an assault rifle, and a shotgun, the types of which I can’t remember off-hand. I have pictures of myself looking pleased as punch holding each weapon (also a beretta) and I still have the targets.

“Went to Vegas to practice and train and prepare for the killing” :eek:

I’m a Sunday School teacher.

Yeah, pretty much the female, non-family having, apt dwelling version of this. They’d have a field day with how unremarkable I am. “When boring people go nuts.”

I can’t decide if this is terrible or awesome.

Please go on a killing rampage. Think of the headlines!

I’m a horror movie freak, who is also a pinko leftie. I don’t have any children (!) and my mental health issues are well documented. I’m sure there’s more I’m forgetting, but that’s the highlights. Oh, and I don’t mind Olive Garden. That right there should make me front page news.

You have periodic episodes of amnesia?! Og knows what atrocities you’ve committed that you can’t even remember.
