SAN FRANCISCO - A driver targeted pedestrians on both sides of San Francisco Bay with his sport utility vehicle, killing one man and injuring at least 13 people, authorities said.

A woman was talking about this at the Zam Zam tonight.

"He drove on sidewalks, streets, hit people on crosswalks. It runs the gamut," said Sgt. Neville Gittens, spokesman for the San Francisco Police Department.

Neville Gittens?! Neville Fucking Gittens?!?! Who would name their child that? And why would they become a cop?

Figures. Our most famous detective is a guy named Napoleon Hendrix.

Like that sounds real.

(Yet it is.)

If it makes you feel better, we may elect a governor named Kinky.

The country musician / mystery writer? Ride 'em Jewboy?

Yep. Our governor is mostly a figurehead anyway; so as Kinky says "Why not?"

Hey, my mom's friend is running for mayor of my hame town (she's very qualified, was a jounalist and worked under the last mayor.) She filmed several commercials at mom's house. That's gonna be bizzare when I go home. (One of them features the bedroom I sleep in).

Neville Gittens?! Neville Fucking Gittens?!?! Who would name their child that? And why would they become a cop?

I could see wanting some authority over others after growing up with that name.

It's the whole 'Boy named Sioux' theory in real life.

H. Crap, I read this as Little Richard Greico.

Huh. Me too, and I never even questioned it until your post.

Kinky's still running? Right on.

OMG so funny:

A little while ago I put together a little application on our phone system so that when a telemarketer calls in, I can transfer them to this extension and annoy the hell out of them. I thought about it a bit more and decided to make it a little more interesting, so I can get them to hold on the line as long as possible. Today I recorded a bunch of different voices sounding really interested in what a telemarketer would be offering. Have a listen:

Me, too. I'm glad you posted this, bon bon, because I couldn't remember how to spell Greico's name, and was too lazy to go to imdb.

Jesse, if you get a foot cramp again, flexing the foot sometimes undoes it. Also stepping flat on the floor (not carpet, something cold, like a kitchen or bath floor) can help undo it.

Tom, what does he say on the recordings? I just spent last night and this morning getting rid of random Trojan virus files, and am too gun shy right now, to open the mp3.

It's a recording of an actual telemarketer trying to get him to sign up for a free phone, with his voice on a loop saying things like "That's GREAT!", "Tell me more!", and "I'm really interested!".
