Hear any funny local tales & gossip, those of you who went back to your folks' house for the holidays?my dad told me a story about a farmer's market festival thing he was at, where he witnessed a renowned sheep expert judging prize rams (a process which included an appraisal of their balls) then thoughtfully cupping his beard/mouth area in professional contemplation without washing his hands in the interim.

that's mine; post yours.Let's generate some content.

The drat mexians growing pot for the cartels are ruining the environment and doing crimes and poo poo but we cant legalize pot because if it was legal to grow then everyone would be growing huge warehouses of it and using up all the water and energy

also the whole drat town is full of meth heads because of the new "catch and release" method of trying to keep down prison population, thanks obummer

there was a crazy homeless guy that lived in the town i grew up in, and the rumor was that he was a secret millionaire who chose to live on the street, and his backpack was filled with cash, like some kind of weird hobo leprechaun.

There was a recent bust over a bunch of latinos running a brothel over top of the local latin market here a few years back.

They got charged with human trafficking and went to jail for a long time.

I own part of what used to be a stone quarry in the 1800's that is now cool scenery for yuppie fucks to drive through and make up stupid poo poo like it's haunted. Every once in a while I go out there and wait in the dark for fun.

some idiot was texting his drug dealer for some sweet xany bars and took a turn too wide, smashing into some kid and throwing the kid like 20 feet onto the side walk. dozens of people from all over were walking over to the scene like it was a thing to do. my neighbors asked me if i wanted to go see and i was like, "no thanks." if i want to see dead people i do it on the internet because it's less of an impact on my psyche.

My father's coworker was lead out of the lab one day by the NCIS.

There's a machine they use that heats up gold and other metals so it begins to evaporate and the particals land on slides making gold mirrors.

After a while a bunch of gold particles get caked onto the housing and have to be scrubbed off. He asked those in charge what to do with the leftover gold and they told him to dispose it since it's technically waste. He asked if he should recycle it, but they said all the gold had to be thrown away.

What he did was take all the gold scraping, did some chemistry to purify it and turned it into a solid gold nugget the size of his fist.

He took it to a pawn shop and turns out they have to report everything they buy for over $10k. Well he got reported and the Naval Criminal Investigative Services arrested him one day at work.

Dad says he can probably get off with a good lawyer but he'll never work at the lab again. Apparently he was a really really valuable employee, lol.

Moral of the story, if you work for the government lab, throw away their gold and don't pawn it off.

most of these tales are some pretty heavy poo poo..do ye have more lighthearted stuff?for example, around this time of year many moons ago when i was 12, i happened upon a local character doing a big cackling piss into the town's nativity scene display while i was out skateboarding.he was uncomplicated to begin with but the lovely old bar hicks liked to get him drunk for lols (funny in this instance, reprehensible overall) so i think he also developed alcoholism :(.

I saw the same guy but his DNA was found on a teen runaway's corpse found on a crude wooden altar in the woods (true detective season 1 style). He was executed via lethal injection but something went wrong and he started screaming in agony and futilely attempting to repent his sins as he was being killed.

I also found forest porn around that age, as did several of my friends. What sort of madman is traversing this nation's forests dropping porn like a porn fairy? The stuff I found was a mixture of "Oui" and "Swedish Erotica" (they didn't look Swedish).

My friend Derrick found some but it was a bunch of magazines called "Beautiful men's asses", so we didn't all find good stuff.

Also a bit south of me a truck driver collapsed a small bridge because she didn't know how many pounds the 6 ton weight limit was or how heavy her truck was (it was 30 tons). She's being fined $135.
