news of the weird

From the local news today:

An Austin man has been accused of trying to choke his girlfriend with the cord of a Wii video game controller after she became angry that he had eaten all of her Girl Scout cookies, according to an arrest affidavit.

Seriously? Oh Austin. Exploding houses, zombie traffic signs and now assault over Girl Scout cookies.

If they were Thin Mints that he ate all of, I'd be the one choking HIM with the Wii cord.

The Girl Scouts I encountered at Randalls were all out of Thin Mints, and those shortbread cookies with the chocolate bottoms. =( We're stocked for the caramel ones, though.

PS - Glad you're posting and seem more or less okay. We missed you Sunday.

I was just about to post saying the same thing - the Thin Mints the Girl Guides [I'm Canadian] are selling these days are almost, almost worth choking someone for. And we have an X-Box with cords and everything. It would be really easy. Luckily, I'm not the murdering kind, more the evil eye sort.
