911 emergencies?
+-------------- Bizarre 911 Emergency Calls --------------+
A thirty-year-old Maryland man called 911 and reported, "You gotta put out the fire, man. My marijuana plants are burning." When the fire-fighters team arrived they found the man sitting in his kitchen, in the dark, strumming his guitar.
A man in La Vergne, Tennessee, called emergency 911 to report that he and his wife had had a fight and he needed police to come to his house and stop her from pouring out all his beer.
Velma Ann Wantlin of Houma, Louisiana was issued a citation for improper use of the 911 emergency line. Wantlin called 911 to report her husband for preventing her from watching the season finale of Knots Landing.
[Dispatcher] 911. What's your emergency? [Caller] I'm scared. [Dispatcher] What's the problem? [Caller] I just got a Ouija board for my birthday and now there's writing on my wall and I can't get it off....This thing is going back to Kmart first thing in the morning!
[Dispatcher] 911. What's your emergency? [Caller] Could you send the police to my house? [Dispatcher] What's wrong there? [Caller] I called and someone answered the phone, but I'm not there.

warriors
hm... not much going on lately. been playing a lot of mahjong at annie's lately. and didn't go roller skating last week as planned. too many people are bitches and didn't want to go. :( but did find this space dragons video from tempe pretty funny. :)
ooh, actually. i brought my neighbors to the space dragons friends and family event. and they're planning to keep coming bakc! :) they brought their 5yo daughter along and she got to sit at the front of the boat. towards the end of practice we rowed to a place where they got jellyfish and afterwards we had a mock race (3 space dragon boats against each other). it was all pretty cool :)
one more thing. romrow (april 23) is denim day in la. "In 1998, an Italian Supreme Court decision overturned a rape conviction because the victim wore jeans [they said that she couldn't have been raped because everyone knows you can't take off someone's jeans for them; they have to take them off personally. therefore, it must have been consentual sex] People all over the world were outraged. Wearing jeans became an international symbol of protest against erroneous and destructive attitudes about sexual assault." participate people!!
