Thief Invents Magical Female Elf Defense
By now we understand that criminals are rarely responsible for their crimes. Yet some make it a point of honor to come up with excuses so wacky they have never been used before. Hats off to lab technician Robert Boyd, who claims he was not responsible for holding up a shop in Belfast because he thought he was a magical female elf named Beho at the time.
Boyd stands accused of stealing two bras, panties, garter belts, and stockings. But it was all part of a role-playing game called Shadowrun, which got out of hand when Boyd, as he puts it, "blurred that line between reality and fantasy."
The line between a legitimate criminal defense and sheer lunacy became hopelessly blurred long ago.
On a tip from Bill V.

"At least 16 Vermont towns passed resolutions yesterday demanding that American troops surrender to the terrorists they have been fighting in Iraq; 32 towns have declared they want President Bush impeached for his attempts to defend the country from terrorism."
Which ones are the terrorists again? Is it the insurgents? Is it the Iranians? Is it Al Qaeda? Is it the jihadists? Who exactly are we fighting again?
Thanks for the clarification.

Christ, not again. Now the Angry-Mother's-From-Heck will be claiming RPGs are the bane of humanity's existence and those of us who play will all be going to HELL.
BTW, take away the whole fantasy shtick on that Elf, cause Shadowrun takes place in the 2070s. Give her an automatic weapon and a trenchcoat and she's good to go. ~_^

OT: Another Triumph for the Bush Immigration Policy.
A Mexican man turned himself in Wednesday on charges that he kidnapped a 13-year-old Florida boy last month and left him tied up in the woods until the student used a safety pin to escape, officials said.These types of abductions are, by the way, very common in Latin American countries. And thanks to both political party's commitments to maximize illegal immigration, they will become more common here in the U.S.A.
A Spanish-speaking FBI agent worked by phone with Vicente Ignacio Beltran-Moreno to negotiate his return from Mexico to the United States
Too bad for Beltran he wasn't caught by the Border Patrol. He could have gotten the Justice Department to give him immunity in return for testifying against the border agents who arrested him.
Beltran-Moreno was in the United States illegally but had roots here, she said.
Oh, I guess that makes it OK, then.
Sorry for the interruption, but the border issue is what finally turned me into a Bush-hater. Any president who makes us into Mexico's bitch deserves impeachment.

Well...
At least he only believes himself to be a she-elf, and not a fairy!

do you suppose his crystals failed him?

Nope, he did at least a half a dozen lines of some really potent stuff, so it worked really good...
