Did you hear the story about the guy that stole the Kerry sign...

[LoZoccolo]

...except someone had spiked the surface of it with LSD and some other substance that was supposed to make the skin absorb it, and the guy tripped out and ended up in some porno theater taking off all his clothes and eventually got arrested with his picture on the front of the local newspaper getting led into a police car.

Man oh man, this story would sure make me afraid to go around stealing Kerry signs. I imagine this guy's reputation is shot within his community (conservative Grand Rapids, Michigan). He was some sort of big-wig or something, and now all his friends think he's some kind of pervert and he's alienated from the Republicans. People stealing Kerry signs better think twice about how far the consequences of their actions might go.

1. It must be linked!

3. Link, please? (n/t)

[LoZoccolo]

4. I don't have a link.

I'm asking if anyone else has heard this story.

[Cha]

9. You're funny! I hadn't heard it until just now...

sounds like just desserts to me

[0007]

16. It makes for a good story!

But in reality that would have turned the man into a Dem for sure.

21. Love it.... LOL ...Put the Fear where it belongs

They thrive on Fear Mongering....... Well let them eat ACID

[ParanoidPat]

10. Screw the link.....

.....where's that sign? :shrug: :evilgrin:

Damn that's one BIG blotter! :)

[Worst Username Ever]

5. I know! There was this one where

this lady tried to steal a Kerry sign, but there were antibiotics on it, which messed up her birth control, but she didn't know it and then she got pregnant and her boyfriend left her and now she lost her job because of layoffs and has no one to support her in the meantime! They really should think twice about stealing Kerry signs.

6. hey that is where I live! LOL! who was it??? lol

[LoZoccolo]

20. I don't have the guy's name...

...but he was arrested at the "Cina-Mini II". I guess there's some big bar across the street, and all these college students and stuff were laughing at him because he was fighting the cops as they were stuffing him in the back of the squad car plus he was naked, and then it turned out the guy's son was at the bar too!

7. god might zap em too........IF

you believe in the bible. but then if you arent christian, i guess it doesnt matter, wink

[sui generis]

8. that would be a whole lotta LSD!

I think that's just the story he gave to blame his trippy little freeper madness escapade on Kerry.

Whatever you do, don't drink the koolaid!

[West Coast Democrat]

11. I heard the guy was even wearing gloves!!!....

but some of the LSD that had got onto his gloves happened to brush against his skin, so the gloves didn't even help!!

[LoZoccolo]

13. Ha ha ha ha he thought he was smart...

...and then he wasn't!

[cheshire]

18. I think he was playing with himself with the gloves on. LOL

[soothsayer]

12. Wait, won't this make us liberals go around stealing Kerry signs? lol

[cheshire]

14. I don't see how acid would lead you to do that unless your predisposed to

perverted thoughts anyway. I think he lost his inhabitions enough to bring out the real sicko he always was. LOL I say go ahead take my sign.

[requiem99]

15. I will be there to steal all your signs soon!

[KC21304]

17. I'm sure all Repugs everywhere thank you for looking out for them.

And I have another to add. I heard a guy on his way to Church decided to pull out just one Kerry/Edwards sign on the way. Well, unbeknown st to him, the sign was slathered with super glue. You can imagine how embarrassed he was when he showed up at Church with a Kerry/Edwards sign attached to his, well, just use your imagination.

[Mojambo]

19. This sounds like a political urban legend.

How awesome if it's true!

[LoZoccolo]

22. Would you even wanna take the chance though?

Man, I wouldn't. Not worth taking down a sign for!

[cheezus]

23. stinks like BS

i could belive covering the sign in habenero or something, but lsd?

yeah, right.

[LoZoccolo]

25. Man you never know what kind of crazy stuff goes on!

I imagine there's some people who have worse consequences set up for sign-stealers!

[MsTryska]

24. Yeah! Except i totally heard it was

andgel dust mixed with MDMA.

[LoZoccolo]

26. Hmmmm that actually seems more likely.

That would explain more of the aggressive behavior of how it took five police officers to restrain him and get him into the police car.

[jmowreader]

27. The other substance is DMSO

The Dead Kennedys did a song with this theme on the Bedtime for Democracy album:

D....M....S....O
Crypto wonder drug in vogue

Some people say it cures arthritis
Maybe that's why it keeps getting banned

It's absorbed directly through the skin
Mix it with lemon juice, touch your fingertips, you'll taste the lemon

The police started a riot down at the courthouse again
Running amok...spilling blood...smashing heads

I did my part behind the lines
Swabbing door handles of cop cars with D.M.S.O. mixed with L.S.D.

D....M....S....O

[Carni]

28. Really? DAMN where are THOSE signs???

I think I'll steal one! LOL

Kidding of course- after all who needs mind altering drugs when bush is in power?

All I need to do is turn on cable news to think I am tripping!

[RichardRay]

29. Harks back to Chicago '68 - LSD + DMSO

was supposedly gonna get painted on the handrails and door knobs of the Convention Center.

Of course, it doesn't work, but it sure got a lot of folks nervous - good god almighty, Mabel, what will those hippies, yippies and commie pinkos think of next!

30. I saw a charred sign today. I've always thought that would be funny

It wasn't a presidential race sign though - local governors race - still funny.

[LoZoccolo]

31. How did you know who it's for?

See I don't think I'd do that because you risk destroying the sign too much to make a statement.

[Mr_Spock]

32. It was charred but still readable. Some of those HUGE B/C signs

on public property really have to go - especially since any K/E signs are stolen from the same spot.
