As I have mentioned before in this blog, one of the things I miss most about college is reading the DI (student newspaper at U of Illinois), and in particular the Police Blotter. The stories are usually short and lack much detail, but the fun part is reading between the lines and trying to figure out and picture what happened.

"19 year old man arrested for underage alcohol consumption and battery at 300 block of John, resists arrest" - Hmm let's run that through the translator: "Drunken frat boy gets into fight on way back to the house from bars". I think we've all seen the story before.

And then sometimes there's just a story that flat out cracks me up:

DI Police Blotter 9-2-05

Check out the first item under Urbana, it's priceless. It could easily be one of those joke headlines on The Onion: "8 year old boy steals a bag of Flamin' Hot Cheetos, flees from police".

Sometimes I feel like I am the only person who

- doesn't think Family Guy is a very funny show
- thinks Black Eyed Peas sucks
- doesn't think Anna Kournikova is very hot

Since I'm bored, let's play a game. Name the quote and who said it:

1. "If she were a President, she would be Baberaham Lincoln"
2. "If I ever meet you, I'll CTRL-ALT-DELETE you"
3. "It's not personal Sonny, strictly business."
4. "What? Friends listen to Endless Love in the dark!"
5. "It's all in the hips. All in the hips."
6. "My car is DONE-zo!"
7. "Congratulations, you're a meathead son. But don't you EVER touch my underwear again"
8. "All right, a Cheeto!"
9. "The 'Baby on the Corner' trick, eh? I'm not falling for that s**t!"
10. "Gentlemen, you can't fight here! This is the War Room!"

Sorry I have no prizes to offer so there's no need to respond. I will post the answers in a few days.

Now that I think of it, whatever happened to Stork's blog and quizzes? I miss those.
