I imagine the Chief would have been OK with 2 or 3 topless ladies doing jumping jacks. It might have taken an actual car crash or maybe his wife threatening to give him the Lysistrata treatment,but he would have recommended a ban on naked calesthetics too.

<i>...Gregory Luce and fellow teabaggers held protests on a pedestrian bridge over an interstate, as was the fashion in those days — and to keep up with tea party chic, that included hanging banners off the bridge’s fencing. </i>

I got some local loons near me on I-70 that haven't gotten the memo to stop yet.

Kelemen seems to be channeling Chief Wiggum:

"Gregory Luce is a cancer in this fair city. He is the cancer, and I am the, um... what cures cancer?"

Not sure how much problem I have with the law, given many laws are initially targeted at a specific group or situation, but the pranks, while funny, definitely crossed the line.

"What cures cancer? "

Tax cuts, of course

Now all those gay dating/porn sites are going to have to scrub out the duplicate Greg Luce!

Look, all I'm saying is, when he took the chainsaw he said he was going to cut up some green wood. I saw the pile of firewood in his driveway and asked, specifically asked him, if he was going to use it to cut them to length. Because you know all he has is that small woodstove. And he said no! He swore up and down that he's just going to use it for some tree limbs out back. And what do you know? When I get the chainsaw back it's dull! Dull as asphalt. And you know what? All his firewood is cut short now. What kind of effing coincidence is that, huh?

It's so easy to not get caught doing this sort of thing, so I'm pretty disappoint in Wiggum there for that, other than that, I appreciate a good troll against people who so obviously deserve it.

Thank you, Dok, for shedding light on the too-little known spite and awfulness of English departments. They are truly among the most conflict-oriented of the fully-upright species.

That is, so far as memory allows, the monologue of a very pissed off coworker circa 1989.

I had to look it up. So, Campbell is like the ruralist exurb of La Crosse? As I recall, La Crosse itself is fairly blue.

Also, Chief o' Police, so probably hired?
