news of the weird

[threeplusfire]

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.

But aren't the Wii controllers wireless?

I totally just went through my mental list of people-I-know-in-Austin to consider if someone I knew did this or not.

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.

That's just craziness! I don't know what else to say.
