Chris is having a lie in, so I am making him eggs and toast......I'm having a grey hair moment for I cant quite remember if I washed my hands after picking up a hard bit of poo from the stairs......
It'll be right.....
Anyhow I can hear Chris tittering at " Curse of the were Rabbit" which he's watching on his ipad.....and I've got to thinking just how important it is to have a good titter.
The Unalaska Police Blotter has made me titter for several years now, and I think it's time to share this phenomenon with a wider audience. Unalaska is a small town situated on the tail of the Alaskan Aleutian Islands. An isolated " frontier town" Unalaska suffers from it's own very individual crime wave , which is chronicled by Sgt Jennifer Shockley, somewhat dryly in the Unalaska Police Blotter.
It makes for hilarious reading

Below is a snippet from the " tater-tot incident"
I loved it
I loved it
03/15/15 Sun 0058 Assault – Two men got into a fight after one man, attempting to protect his buddy’s tater-tots, told the tater-taker that he was the bigger and badder man. The tater-tot skirmish ended with one bloody nose and two ripped shirts.
03/15/15 Sun 0100 Trespass – Officer issued a trespass advisement, per bar management, to a belligerent patron who was instigating altercations.
03/15/15 Sun 0111 Assault – A drunk who offered to help police with an assault investigation walked up to one of the tater-tot combatants, shoved him across the face and identified him by labeling him with a vulgar, Oedipus-type epithet. Brent D. Thomas, 45 yoa, was subsequently taken into custody for Harassment II.

ReplyDeleteFried balls of crispy potato apparently

Deleteamerican fat food; never eat them myself.
Really not just one AM.?
DeleteChildren used to love them on their school lunches.
DeleteMany years ago.
cheers, parsnip
nope. not my thing. I've gotten away from fried potatoes as I have aged. now mashed potatoes...UMMMMM!
DeleteDon't worry about washing your hands - it'll add to the flavour.
ReplyDeleteew ew ew! :)
DeleteHe does that on purpose. Ew.
Delete"labeling him with a vulgar, Oedipus-type epithet."
ReplyDeleteMarvellous.
that bit made me laugh out loud :D
DeleteShe's a real talent , is she not?
DeleteDidn't find it funny and I so wanted a larf! Think I will have a look at curse of the ware rabbit instead! :-)
ReplyDeleteI think chris was tittering at the " farting" bit
Deletejust another typical day at your house!
ReplyDeleteOf course..........
DeleteI love the image of Chris tittering to himself, watching Curse of the Were-Rabbit. If in doubt, wash your hands again before you grab that Scotch Egg.
ReplyDeleteIt threw me at first....its usually dads's Army he finds funny
Deletecop should have just bought them another round of artery clogging greasy tater tots.....soon they won't be a bother to anyone
ReplyDeleteCan anyone give me a recipe for tater tots?
DeleteSure John....you need : 1 car and the frozen food section of your local groceteria. Simple recipe.
Delete@squire gray: see my link above; you can make your own!
DeleteOh I so need to move. That did make me giggle.
ReplyDeleteToo close to reality.
ReplyDeleteA good laugh, is good for the soul. Obviously that police department has a good outlook on their work. Don't take this life to seriously,
ReplyDeleteSounds quite a tough , alcohol dominated town... A sense of gumour seems vital
DeleteCertainly a whole lot different from any crime report sheet here John I would think. Unless in our villages - I guess in yours the worst thing would be somebody trying to pinch Aunt Gladys's scones before you got your hands on them - or a Scotch egg theft from the local supermarket (but then I am sure you would be the chief suspect.)
ReplyDeleteCertain aspects of Trelawnyd are rougher than i ever make out here....i choose to ignore these parts of real life
DeleteWhy aren't those three in front wearing any trousers? And in Alaska too - brrrrrrrrr!
ReplyDeleteOkay, I can just hear Samuel L. Jackson yelling in his next movie: "vulgar, Oedipus-type epithet!"
ReplyDeleteI read police reports in my work all day. They are hysterical. I think they have mini competitions to see who can write the funniest, most outrageous reports and keep still within the rules. I didn't find these Alaskan ones particularly funny, sorry. Your dogs do a lot of shit don't they.....
ReplyDeleteLook at some on the blotter rachel they are quite dry
Delete"told the tater-taker he was the bigger and badder man."
ReplyDelete"vulgar Oedipus-type epithet."
Sgt. Jennifer Shockley may have missed her calling. Then again. Maybe not.
This is right up my alley - my humour alley ... thanks for the tip :)
ReplyDeleteI've seen that one, a good reminder that life can be quite simple in the smaller places. :)
ReplyDeleteXO

It's a good job they have a great sense of humor, living in the Alaskan tundra would give even the best Morecome and Wise characters, a run for their money.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant link :)

Oh my god! Whoever writes these things has a fabulous sense of humor! "...vulgar, Oedipus-type epithet..."
ReplyDeleteAh, The Case of the Missing Tater Tots! Solved at last!
ReplyDeleteSo literary: "a vulgar, Oedipus-type epithet"
ReplyDeleteForgot to ask... Was the vulgar epithet "Out, damned spot"?
ReplyDeleteNear enough
DeleteThanks for the larfs, John!
ReplyDeleteAnd, since you are a nurse, I know you washed your hands an extra time or two...
Did i?
Delete...and so you washed your hands again, right? Just in case. Then you turned around and wondered if you washed your hands or if you were remembering washing your hands after picking up poo, as it seems like a repetitive action on your part...
ReplyDeleteOf course sharon........ I think
DeleteFabulous.
ReplyDeleteThank you for a much needed giggle.
cheers, parsnip
How is the little fella
DeleteToo funny!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.
Is your country as obsessed with hand sanitizer as us yanks are? Every classroom-office-fast food place-even banks... has squirt bottles of this alcohol based gel available to everyone! Even grocery stores have sanitizer soaked napkins to wipe down handles on the grocery carts! Our immune systems are going to go into hibernation! On the other hand, I haven't had a cold in 2 years???
