Pearland ignores own law/Cruz couldn't care less about me/Then Mod Strikes me with ZOT

Personal experience | 04/24/2015 | CraigHenry

The City of Pearland, TX completely ignored its own code of ordinances in order to assess a fine against me over an animal I never owned. I proved my case in open court, but my evidence was ignored. I e-mailed Ted Cruz because he purports to be a champion of citizens' rights and principles. I asked for his help, but he couldn't even trouble himself to respond let alone offer any assistance. I guess he only supports individuals who can help fill his campaign coffers. Yessir, your tax dollars at work. Makes me proud to be a Texas conservative voter.

They don’t! Somehow they always know. ;)

[Darksheare]

It was moved to blarggers.
;-)

Why would they pull it, ‘Face? It is certainly ideal for the Undead
Thread. Come on, Darks! Fire up the Castle and move the moat.

Say, have you seen my Kerblacht lately? I think I may have
accidentally adopted him from a shelter here. He’s a holy terror!

They told me he had “issues,” and his last foster family put him in
the cat drop box (for returns). But I really love him, so we will be
keeping him in this, his forever home. He’s actually quite sweet if
he feels like being sweet. Sigh...

[Darksheare]

Sounds like a plan.
I have to head out.
Ugh.

Wait, you thought a public official would help you? Bwahahahahahahahaha! You thought you would get justice in a Police state? Bwahahahahahaha!

LMAOOOOOO!

[humblegunner]

Thanks!
Actually, Mom has squads of unauthorized animals in Pearland.
The New Coons and the Old Coons come by at different times of
the evening to score some ramen and bread on the porch.

It’s a whole freakin’ animal show.

I wonder what the record for newbie-to-zot is?

CraigHenry:

There you were, down in your Mama's basement .... munching on the last of the "Family Size" bag of Cheetos and swilling yet another tepid "Cola product" with your best-est friend J. Carter III.

Your mind wandered, yet again, to what you two could and would do to a certain farm animal, if you could only get your grubby little, orange stained hands on one.

Then your single active brain cell flashed on, and you yelled out "hey J.C., how about we join up at FreeRepublic again and take a blast at Ted Cruz?"

"Not now" mumbled J.C., "I'm in a hot and sweaty discussion on the Democratic Underground (DU) forum, and I'm trying to figure whether it's with a he or a she!"

"Come on" you screeched in your best "hey Mom, I'm really upset here!" voice. "You don't care whether he/she is cisnormal, and this is really, really important because it will completely destroy FreeRepublic!"

"Ok" whined J.C., "shall we both sign up so that we can cross support each other with postings on FR, like we did last time?"

"Oh (bleepin') yea!" you responded. "Watch this you scum-sucking toads at FR!" you giggled as you cleared just enough unidentifiable scummy stuff off the keyboard to start typing.

All seemed to go really well, enough FReepers were kind hearted enough to give you the benefit of the doubt about your "made fully from farm droppings" story about Senator Cruz.

Then, as they say "out of the blue", WHAMMO, you got the ZOT!

Giggling hysterically, your best-est friend J.C. pointed at your flaming posterior and yelled "hey, now you're a full-fledged member of the FR Burning Butts Club!"

So .... while you seek treatment for your wounded tush, here's an appropriate award that will be given out to all those who, by their actions, get Zotted from FR:

And, of course, you can always complete an FR Butthurt Form (shown below) while you are healing.

That would be poster “whyareyoudumbandhateful”.
The mods saw it sign up, so they had a welcome thread for it.
And we all watched in real time as it edited its bio page, then made its first post.

[Leep]

Craig Henry?

You are doing it WRONG.

[eyedigress]

Whut? Ted Cruz claims no expertise of non-ownership of animals nor does he give a damn.

Go play with your stuffed animals or something.

[TheOldLady]

Sounds exciting!

We have a lot of critters wandering around on our property as
well, but we don’t feed them as much as we used to.

I hope that Mom had a fun birthday.

[TheOldLady]

You’re welcome.

[TheOldLady]

That was quick and really cool, Col Freeper. Thank you for the quick-witted Blazing Butt post. You’re brilliant, as ever. ;-)

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Contact your state representatives to deal with state issues, your federal representative to deal with federal.

From what you said this does not seem to be a federal issue.

[Windflier]

I’m not sure whether to announce the zot or not.

Lady, what would a zot be without your stellar graphics and wry wit? Pretty boring, I'd say :-)

[Jet Jaguar]

Well done.
