As an aging medic myself, I remember a particular “emergency” call from my younger years that involved a very large woman and a commode. It seems that the womans husband had applied a fresh coat of polyurethane to the beautiful oak seat that graced their throne about two hours before the dear lady took her repose there. (Think of the movie “Big Momma’s House) After a few minutes she tried without success to depart the throne. The polyurethane had bonded her rump to it’s pristine surface in a huge way. A few more minutes of struggling prompted a call to 911 for assistance. My partner and I arrived and entered the residence to a stench that would make the worlds’ toughest maggot blush. Big momma was still chemically bonded to the toilet and cursing the husbands very being in a rant to end all rants. We simply unbolted the seat from the porcelain, assisted her to the ambulance, and proceeded post-haste to the nearby emergency room where a sharp young resident applied some sort of solvent goo to her derierre in order to release the offending wooden ornament. It’s good to know that some things never change.

The sad part about the toliet lady is that they want to charge her boyfriend, an obviously patient and understanding soul, with neglect or something because he enabled her to sit on the can for so long. The good part is now I can tell my old lady to get the hell off the john alraeady, ‘cuase, you know, I don’t need any trouble with the law.

People are precious. EMT’s would know that and not ridicule the victim so crudely, sirs.

That said, in Detroit in the 70’s, a man sprayed hair spray in the commode to hide the smell of his wife’s recent constitutional, and then proceeded to light a cigarette while he was seated, and then throw the match in the toilet, and the explosion burned him so bad that he was in the hospital for a long time, or he died, I forget which, but anyway, when I was in my twenties, that was the big commode story, and in the ensuing thirty years I’ve always steered clear of spraying hair spray in the commode, and having a cigarette. I simply wont do it. No reason to. SO I dont. That’s why I’m still alive, I guess.

That story is actually sad—-according to a report, both of those people were mentally impaired, one worse than than the other. Obviously, they were incapable of taking care of themselves and each other.

Following dinner each night, prior to the bath ritual, my brother, almost 2, was to get on the potty and go #2. Sometimes, I, then 4, had to sit in there and keep him company b/c he had the tendency to drop things into the toilet that were lying on the adjacent counter…like combs, etc. My dad had been known to fish out a Matchbox car or two among other things. Usually, it was my dad’s job to get the little guy going. My dad’s favorite word: Concentrate. To a 4 y/o & an almost 2 y/o that word came to mean: Go poop. Imagine the shock and dismay when that word showed up on the vocabulary list at school. And, it’s not difficult to understand as to why we never wanted to watch the TV game show Concentration. Forty some odd years later, my brother still cracks up over that.

How many people do you know that say ‘commode’? Is it a toilet? No, a toilet is a room. (I think, not like I’m looking this shat up). I think the Euros call it a loo, not sure about the spelling there but hey, the Euro is worth way more than the dollar right now so they get to say what things actually are. Of course the thing you sit on is called a crapper, I think it was named after some guy in England that invented it, his name was Crapper. That was long before the Euro was worth more than the dollar.

Speaking of toilets and restrooms… What is up with chicks giving birth and leaving babies in the commode? I don’t know and to me none of it makes any sense. When I was growing up there was one young lady that got pregnant in High School, and we were in a big school. Now they are dropping babies in the toilet and no one even knew they were pregnant? Is it because of the obesity thing? Are all of the young people so fat people can’t tell if they are pregnant? I really don’t know. I have no point to make, I’m just curious. What is going on? I don’t understand… I’d be interested in any opinions. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,345290,00.html

I thought President Bush was spending billions teaching that abstinance message. What went wrong with that, were the kids not listening in class? Is it like “Don’t ask don’t Tell”? Or was it “Just Say No”? I get confused by the slogans.

Hey Stone, find me a woman out there that didn’t know when she was actually pregnacious. They know, they know it before they know, and then they figure it out, before anyone else.

There has been a dozen of these strange bathroom births in the news. I think a Doc should weigh in on this (pun intended). Are young ladies so fat and their innards are so screwed up that they can’t tell they are pregnant? To many Big Macs and twinkies? The stomach never feels right and it’s so big you don’t notice?

Nobody said he was without blame. I personally have done stupid and dangerous stuff too; difference is his cost people their lives. The entire situation raises the same emotions in me that it does for everyone else, with the exception that I feel compassion for everyone involved, right or wrong, I do. Does that make me bad? I don’t know. But you can’t make your heart feel something it doesn’t, right? And if your heart does feel something that’s not the popular opinion, it doesn’t mean you can’t say what you feel.

Butcher’s right! What’s the difference if you are changing radio stations and miss a late late late yellow light and go through the red, and then a minivan with six tiny little baby bunnies anticipates the green and darts in front of you and you keel all six baby bunnies, or if you were speeding and went through the light because you couldn’t bring yourself to waste the gas you spent to get going that fast. You know the feeling.

You could say, in court, that you got distracted, you are a respected member of society, and that you weren’t drunk and it was a freak accident, not your fault, you’re the good guy here, in fact you’re the victim.

Or you could realize that our traffic conveyences are death traps. the roads are poorly designed, the cars are not designed at all, but merely copies of the stage coaches and buggies from 1879. Genius engineers put a motor on a buggy and they didn’t make one single advance since then. Not really.

We have to start over. We have to look at traffic flow as a entity all in itself, not as individual dale earnhearts enjoying their freedom on the highway, but as a group of cars moving together, nobody getting ahead of no one.

It’s not overall speed that should be regulated, it’s relative speed. Relative speed is the killer.

Proof? Go 25 mph in a parking lot and see how long it takes for you to kill someone in a yaris who darts out in front of your car and is keeled. “I was only going 25 mph, officer!”

If there is anything wrong with America and God, it’s that OUR sins are forgivable, but the other guy’s sins are to be dealt with to the fullest extent of the law.

Let he who is without a middle finger, (or a cellphone), condemn the first tail-gater. (john the baptist wrote that, it’s one of the reasons he was chosen as the traffic czar.).

There is a very big difference between doing stupid things like playing with the radio resulting in a wreck and driving at one hundred miles an hour in the emergency lanes, crossing four lanes at a time and knowingly jeopardizing people’s lives as a witnesses was describing to the police even before the accident had even occurred. I pity you if you can’t see the difference. I’ll save my sympathies for the family of the dead. I’ll save my compassion for the guy who made a simple mistake like taking his eyes off the road for a second resulting in catastrophe. I see the distinction between reckless drivers who have no regard for fellow travelers and drivers who make a simple, yet costly mistake. If that makes me a “judgemental god” as the butcher hilariously states than so be it. He is not me, he is not we, I don’t drive impaired, I don’t cross four lanes at a time, I don’t speed at 100 miles an hour and I don’t drive in the emergency lane. When I drive I care about my fellow man. I think perhaps you are projecting Butch. If you drive recklessly and feel a connection to this jerk who did, please stop and think of the people you could hurt, the lives you could take. Learn from his errors, don’t dismiss them as unavoidable. That you don’t condemn him for his actions yet condemn me as being too judgemental for speaking my mind that I’m happy this guy is off the road is sad and misguided. I guess in your mind the families of the dead are being judgemental gods, too.

Visit the Antioch Baptist Church today where they are burying the limo driver or the Gwinnett Medical Center today where the father who lost his son, daughter and grandchild and who is clinging to life . I’m sure you’ll find plenty of other “loose cannons” there. Bottom line: this wasn’t an isolated mistake, this was an avoidable wreck that came at the end of a series of reckless actions by the driver who then fled the scene. You can place blame where you think it belongs, on the roads, on the cars, on “the guinness engineers who put an engine on a buggy and haven’t made one single advance since” (LOL!)and on the “oblivious and righteous” like me and not on, as you put it, “the individual Dale Earnhardt’s enjoying their freedom on the highway.” I’ll blame the person who witnesses say drove erratically for miles, swerving in and out of lanes, at 100 miles an hour finally attempting to pass a car in the emergency lane and ultimately wrecking and killing 4 people and who left the scene of an accident. I respect Cindy’s opinion, though disagree with it. You, well you just sound like a fool to me.

You choose to drive on the road, and by doing so, you agree to abide by the laws of the road—-regardless of the fact if the laws are stupid, or if you deem them stupid, or if the roads are poorly constructed. You made the decision to drive there, and if you do so erratically, be it from reckless driving, speeding, drunk driving, channel surfing, chatting on the cell, whatever the distraction, you are responsible for the wrecks you cause. No one is forcing you to do any of it.

It doesn’t matter if you’re a stand-up citizen, if it’s your first time, whatever. If you caused the wreck, you’re at fault and you will be judged. Your character traits might help you in the sentencing phase.

If you don’t like it, get the laws changed, get the roads fixed, find an alternative mode of transportation. To sit there and make excuses for poor choices that resulted in the deaths of four innocent people, due to reckless driving, is ludicrous.

Every time you get behind the wheel of a car, you take not only your own life into your own hands, but everyone else’s…the other drivers on the road, passengers, cyclists, pedestrians. A driver’s license is a privilege and a responsibility. Think before you act.

I’m saying that we all are to blame for whatever happens on the roads because we haven’t worked to solve traffic. We simply shrug our sloped shoulders over 40K/yr dead americans on our highways and say, “it’s as god intended the price of progress 2B”.

Then, we blame others if a fatal accident slows down our trip. Accept your responsibility and let a judge or jury punish DUI violaters or reckless drivers or whatever other label you want to put on anyone but yourself, and your uber-steering driving prowess that only YOU possess.

Debra Jenkins:

?!?!?!

You assume an awful lot and make judgments of someone whom you know nothing about. Did I even say that I drive? Unless you’ve never driven, you do not know that you are a driver who has never been responsible for an accident. There are a lot of defensive drivers out there who prevent wrecks. As a result of their skills, there are oblivious jerks who think they are good drivers simply b/c they’ve never been pulled over or been in or caused an accident. Get off your high horse.

I simply found it difficult to feel pity for one who behaved in such a way that makes him appear that he had no regard for the lives of others on the road, caused a fatal wreck, and then took off without helping. That is my opinion. I’m entitled to it. It doesn’t mean that I am incapable of empathy. I just don’t feel it in this instance.

If a driver is reckless, for whatever reason, why is it that we are all to blame b/c we have not solved traffic issues? A driver’s license is a privilege and a responsibility. No one is above the law. Drive responsibly. Some wrecks are impossible to avoid, however, many are avoidable if people simply paid attention and drove responsibly.

I happen to agree that the roads need to be fixed, but until then, and so long as drivers continue to use them, they need to do so responsibly. If it means no talking on the cell phone, etc., then so be it. It is the responsibility of a driver is to be alert and to drive safely.

Well, the bible has stories about god punishing evil. So, your mindset is to first seek out the evil guy, even if he’s not there(arbitrarily), then persecute him (plant evidence).

That’s your whole existence, because you were metnally abused by the structural mind-twisting pathology of search and destroy, search and destroy in the name of your own spin on biblical truth.

Your whole life is a lie. Now change, and do nice.

and then stfu

Hey Lt., it started out on the toilet and ended up in it. Would love to hear your views on hit and run drivers that drive 100 miles an hour in the emergency lane causing accidents that kill innocent people, allegedly of course.

Charleton Heston died today, and mourners had to pry the rifle from his cold hands. It’s fitting that the Georgia Assembly passed an knuckleheaded gun law on the eve of a knuckehead’s death.

Guns are bombs. Pilots now have guns in the cockpit, and guess what? They go off, accidental like, and put holes in the plane. But it weren’t the pilot’s fault, of course not, it’s just one of those things.

The vision of the Georgia Assembly is to arm pedestrians, diners, passengers, and pretty much everyone not in or near a school, (the exact place where a self defense case could be made, if you were a knucklehead).

Guns are bombs. They just go off, accidental like, my bad, so too bad your child’s face is now spaghetti, I have a right to carry this gun/bomb. So get lost, sir.

Most deaths from guns in the USA are accidents. Guns just go off, accidental like. If you want to kill someone, simply tell them to go clean their gun. The odds are fantastic that the poor sod will blow his head clean off.

But enjoy your new freedom to arm yourself in public. You have the law forgiving your every boo boo transgression.

That’s one issue. The other issue is reckless driving. I trust the courts to handle DUIs, Speeding, and any other traffic offense. Vehicular manslaughter is also for a judge and a jury. The problem with condemning traffic violations is that we all commit them. Yes, even you, oh sainted nascar god with driving prowess only a dale earnheart bumper sticker could have produced, mr. stone, if that’s your real name.

I’ve learned to let it be. People are easily distracted, and cars are bombs, and they do go off, accidental like, you know.

I’ve developed a sense of when to back off and let another driver have both lanes, or let him pass me easy as pie, just to get the three feet of road that’s open in front of me. It’s not my road, I dont have any right to any imaginary space of breaking distance in front of my bumper. He is welcome to it, let him tailgate the other guy all he wants, I’ll let the courts handle him if he causes an accident.

We’ve all tailgated. We’ve all sped, missed stop signs, lights, illegal turns, wrong way down one ways. We’ve all crossed the center line on a two way street, I know, I’ve seen you all, that’s why I hug the far right side on two ways. We all screeched our tires, and driven when we knew we might fail a sobriety test. All of us. Even if it was just that one time, long forgotten and forgiven, but a truth.

Thus, I wont let a vigilante nincompoop molest public opinion with posse-pleasing prattle about undue process .

4skin, I’m no better or worse driver than your average Joe. However, I don’t drive in the emergency lane and I don’t drive 100 miles an hour. I don’t cross four lanes at a time or swerve in and out of lanes endangering innocent lives. I have certainly never left the scene of an accident, which to me is unforgivable and cowardly. If I did, Mr. Foreskin, if that’s your real name, then I would deserve all the wrath and contempt I’m bestowing on the jerk who killed 4 people. We are all entitled to our opinions, that’s mine.

I’m going to be doing 5 to 6 minutes on stage at the starbar in little five points all during april and may. I’ve got so much new, untried material, that I have to spread it out, because they wont let me hog the stage. I tried that once at the Punchline, and they turned the mic off on me. But I didn’t realize that the mic wasn’t defective, that the manager just wanted me to beat it, so I tried to talk to the audience without the mic and totally ruined the whole night for comedy. i was so embarrassed that I couldn’t get the nerve to walk from the green room along side the stage through the audience to the exit. So I just sat there, and the headliner and the feature were all over me with “WTF” and “some people make comedy impossible”, and “Gads”. I’ve never really gotten over that night so it should be interesting at the starbar.

Tailgating p** me off. I admit to running red lights. I speed with regularity (twenty miles over the posted highway speed limit sounds like a recommendation to me, thank you). And if you are driving slow in the fast lane, I will pass your dumb a* on the right. I do not, however, weave in and out of traffic. I do not ride someone’s a* to make them move, I just go around, and in general do not practice traffic hi-jinkery. I watch people drive like a* monkey’s every day on the highway, with no consideration for each other, and no consideration for the fact that they are driving a one ton weapon at sixty miles per hour, that requires ten feet or so for every ten miles you are going to come to a full stop.

This guy was an idiot, and deserves jail time.

Cassie, passing on the right IS weaving in and out of traffic.

By Cassie

Foreskin -

Weaving in and out of traffic is leaving my nice left hand lane, getting in the right hand lane, getting in another right hand lane, and cutting back across those two lanes to get in the left hand lane. THAT is weaving. Passing someone on the right - and using one lane to do it - is not weaving.

April 7, 2008 12:24 PM | Link to this

Yeah, Cassie, go ahead and open with that when you appear before a judge after the accident you caused by weaving, or passing on the right, (as you euphemistically called it).

Good luck to you, and I hope your time in prison is spent like the Barbie Bandit, that is, I dont think she’s wearing nuthin’ ‘neath them prison gowns, if’n you know what I be a intimatin’ here, lol :=/

You are too funny. I am usually the person in the right hand lane on 85 North leaving town three or four times a year, heading toward Lake Hartwell, stuck behind someone who wants to do 66 mph EXACTLY. All I ask is that you move over. If you don’t, I put on the blinker, look over my shoulder (I don’t trust mirrors), wait, look again, and then go. And proceed with caution, and be aware of other drivers coming in from the other lanes! That’s all.

P.S. - I’ve never caused an accident, PS, and have been in two. One, I wasn’t driving, the other, I was t boned by a lady who ran a red light eating a doughnut. I stand by my driving record.

Of course, I’ve invited bad driving karma now.

I had seeked out this blog in order to compliment Lieutenant Rose on a hilarious article about the lady on the toilet that was in the newspaper yesterday. However, after reading the last thirty or so posts I think I’ll pass. What’s wrong with you people? Can’t you disagree with some one’s opinion without calling them names? Liar, nincompoop, moron? And who are you to tell someone to shut up? This isn’t your blog, it’s an open forum. I’m embarrassed for Lieutenant Rose that he has so many people lacking grace and maturity on his blog calling names and telling people to shut up all because someone thinks differently than they do. Why not point out where they are wrong or try to change their mind instead of trying to silence them. I’m embarrassed for him, I’m embarrassed for you.

But it’s just more fun this way. (Keep reading, there’s an apology coming too) To the new observer (that would be you) it would appear disrespectful but we are used to each other and we sometimes relate to one another in the manner simply to entertain ourselves.

Something we frequently forget is that new observers sneak in on us right about the time we’ve forgotten our manners, and that our behavior runs off the nice people.

I’m sorry. And welcome to the blog. Our insults and expressions are usually not meant personally, even though it sounds that way. Stick around…it’ll be fun…sometimes we use manners…although it doesn’t last long because everyone gets bored…I think that’s why Lt. Steve puts up with us being rude.
