Giant Garfield invades Lewiston, turns trick
According to the police scanner, a caller complained about the situation at Bartlett and Walnut streets in Lewiston by advising a dispatcher: “It looks like the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade with all the hookers out there.”
There’s nothing I can say that will make that line any better.
Survivorman
Is coming to Lewiston. Let’s see the dude use paracord and coconut shells to get through the light at East Avenue and Russell Street. I’ll bet he cries and calls for his support team.
RIP Twinkies
People are genuinely mourning the loss of their Hostess treats more than a week after the demise of the company. My observations on the socio-economics of this sad affair: Glo-balls. Doesn’t that sound like something that might happen if you sit on a swing set next to a toxic dump?
The truth is out there, maybe
So, one of the Mars rovers has located something on the Red Planet said to be of historical significance. The NASA people haven’t yet said what it is that they found so I’d like to point out that if it’s a briefcase filled of fat wads of cash, I lost that and it’s mine. Of course, maybe it’s something completely inexplicable, like a rusty shaving razor, a few scattered cigarette butts and a Bible. How cool would that be? Of course, it was probably just more out-of-this-world Black Friday savings they wanted to keep to themselves.
Bleak Friday
So, driving over to the Black Friday Orgy of Shopping late Thursday night, the alternator in my car died before my eyes. If that isn’t a sign from above to curb your spending, I don’t know what is.
Person acting strangely
So, apparently the emergency dispatchers in Auburn can monitor video to keep an eye on things in the Lewiston police lobby. Who knew? On Friday, an uneasy dispatcher called the station to alert the watch commander that strange things were afoot. Odd acting male in the lobby, pacing back and forth and pretending to bowl with his motorcycle helmet. Obviously deranged and possibly dangerous. The watch commander went into the lobby. As it turns out, the freak in question was only a bored news reporter waiting for some paperwork. Deranged, yes. Dangerous, no. Probably.
