- Do you need anything, sir?

- Get me a fork and a lasso!

That should be the standard reply of any respectable gentleman.

What about the Veyron?!?! Anyone?

A quick search for "Veyron" here on the Sift turns up this video. There are also videos out there of it being towed from the muck, and this story gives a little background.

I knew this couldn't be as simple as the guy in the video makes it sound.

Police claim they identified themselves and wore badges and shirts emblazoned with the word "Police". They also claim she shouted "I hate the police" as they tried to detain her.
Still, I couldn't find anything indicating why they tried to grab her in the first place, considering she was not three white prostitutes. Strictly speaking, if the police try to arrest you, even when it is obvious they have the wrong person, citizens are required to cooperate. The jury deadlocked, which probably means 3 people refused to convict her because she should not have been put in that position in the first place. And I have to agree. If they convict her of assaulting a police officer, which technically she did, then she would never be able to successfully sue the police department for wrongful arrest. And they sorely need to be found guilty on that count.


For the record I'm not arguing against the author of this quote above, I am noting the usefulness of the evidence at hand.

Three cops say they wore the gear, however two private citizens say they didn't? So we assume that the officers are telling the truth and the citizens are lying. Or we assume that the officers were lying and the citizens were telling the truth.

Its a 50% chance that one group was lying. However justice should not deal in chance. Chance means there will be collateral damage.

I have a friend, who in high school took a (unused) tampon from his classmate, dipped it in a bottle of red Gatorade, swung it around like a lasso and threw it at the chalk board, where it stuck like a magnet. Needless to say, the teacher was none too impressed. He was sent to the principal's office.
Well worth it, I say.

You don't have friends.

I love brunettes! Especially ones dressed like Wonder Woman! My Lasso of Truth just shot truth all over my keyboard.

Rough translation: (sorry it won't rhyme)

A fine Morning,
I went away,
To drive my cattle,
To Ontario...

I left my wife,
In Saskatchewan,
I told her soon,
You'll see a hat,
It'll be mine,
I'll be home,
You'll say "here's my husband"
"Back from the plains"

But upon my return,
my dear love,
had dumped me,
for a Regina guy.

I took my hat,
took my lasso,
and I drown my sorrow,
in prairies bars.

SASKATCHEWAN!!!
You took my wife,
She dumped me,
for a Regina guy.

SASKATCHEWAN
You took my wife,
Since she's gone,
I'm a finished man.

SASKATCHEWAN
You took my wife,
My horse gives me the cold shoulder,
My cows call me dude.
(N.T. "cows now say 'you' to me". i.e. familiar pronoun instead of the formal one)

SASKATCHEWAN
You took my wife,
I'll take my lasso,
And I'll drown myself.

SASKATCHEWAN
You took my wife.


And sadly, I think the slow-mo ninjas are just ninjas.

1. I say * begs should be free, but can only be done once every 3 days. I think Power points should be used to promote the videos of others or to award * quality stars in order to build community spirit.

2. Add a few more preferred hosts so that members who haven't reached Gold can have more variety to choose from. Here are my proposed candidates:

- Funny or Die
- Superdeluxe
- Megavideo
- Red Lasso
- Megavideo
- Jib Jab
- 5 Min. Life
- Hulu

3. Raise the maximum number of channel assignments a video can have from 5 to 6. We've added 5 new channels in the past couple of months, and more will be popping up soon. Six shall be the number, and the number shall be six.

4. Create a Gold Diamond level for reaching a thousand, as we have two members who are rapidly approaching 1000 stars. Their privilege: Give them an extra queue slot for reaching that level. If they've contributed that much to the Sift then they've earned that extra queue slot.

5. Give Silver Diamonds a privilege, because they currently don't have anything more than Bronze Diamonds. Think of something good, like a free pedicure.

those were the first 3 that come to mind, but in reverse order, in my case.

only because lasso was the one i found out about most recently. signed up yesterday.
a potential resource of immense *quality for everyone, there, i'd say.

I have a better way to open bottles. You need a Boeing 747, a lasso, lots of butter and someone who can juggle.

Ah nice post NickyP. I think Morrissey would be good with a lasso by now

Neat technology... we need a way to see document titles, though.


Oh, and I really hate that pronunciation of lasso.
