Being A Dick At High School Graduation Could Get You Arrested
Dennis Yusko writes for the Albany Times-Union of a 19-year-old man who crashed a high school graduation dressed as a giant penis, and sprayed the crowd with Silly String:
His motive? "He thought it would be funny,'' (Sgt.) Briscoe said.Morett was ticketed for disorderly conduct, a violation, and will face the charges in City Court on Tuesday, Briscoe said.
Morett graduated from Saratoga Springs High School last year. He tried to streak away from law enforcement, but could not.
"Once I stopped laughing, he was pretty easy to catch because he was tripping on the lower portion of the costume,'' said Briscoe, who made the arrest.
Uh, do you mean he was tripping on his big, inflatable balls?
Picture here.
It's not that it isn't funny, it's just that there's something spooky about a 19-year-old who's still eager to make outrageous gestures towards the high school from which he's graduated.
Isn't there a community college in the neighborhood with a cafeteria that's just aching for his sploogy distraction?

I'm assuming he either graduated late or he's got a few friends at graduation he wanted to prank.
Sure he had to be arrested for conduct like that, I mean if THAT isn't disorderly, I don't know what is. But come now, he's not going to prison, he'll do some community service, maybe a night in the local clink, and he'll make the court room burst into laughter if someone has video evidence.
In trade for that, he's got a story to tell to friends for the next 50 years. *L*
No harm done in any direction.

Now, that's funny! Too bad someone didn't think to do that at our reunion yesterday, it was pretty tame...but not lame!

He should have been in the Gay Pride parade in Toronto yesterday. He would have fit right in. My friend was dressed up as a vagina, so they could have made a lovely pair.
I saw way too many real penises and asses yesterday on the street, I had to go home and lie down.

I would suggest the following, as observed in Seattle's own Pride Parade (which I, through an odd set of circumstances, ended up riding in):
ROLLER SKATES!!
Large, anatomically correct penises are much more mobile when you put them on roller skates. Assuming they can roller skate, that is.

Well now I know what I'm going to be for Halloween.

Whoa, my neck of the woods! No, fortunately, I do not know the young man in question but you see what I have to choose from locally? Just kidding.
Yes, Crid, there is a community college. Not to mention the State University. SUNY Albany has quite a rep (not unearned) as a party college. He'll fit right in.
