Yep.

Coming soon to a city near you.

According to the Survey of Inmates in Local Jails, 1996, more than half of the jail inmates with an intimate victim had been drinking or using drugs when they committed the violent crime.

Well then, you are wasting your time here. If you want to do some good, go out there and straighten the drinkers out. Tax alcohol to within an inch of it's life, ban it from stadiums and public fairs, sponsor advertisements that reduce public tolerance for it. I'm sick of getting into fights with drunks who complain about my smoking. Go get em Baby!

Yes! Let’s arrest every single one of them when they catch our attention. Good plan.

I was once puked on by someone at a Foghat concert right before he passed out.

What city were you in?

:-)

[Eric Blair 2084]

I’m on board. Anything I can do to help arrest and criminilize the drunks and fat asses, let me know.

[04-Bravo]

I bet an entire generation of Grateful Dead fans would call these people sissies. Deadheads could still function after ingesting LSD, nitrous oxide, and hard liquor.

[Eric Blair 2084]

Nice tag line HG. Yes, I like Barry Manilow. What are you gonna do about it? :-)

Even Now, Mandy, Looks Like We’ve Made It. Love em all.

I (literally) ran into the lead singer and drummer from Quiet Riot today at the mall. Well, my son’s stroller did. Rounded a corner to head to the elevator and bam. There they were. In town for a concert tomorrow night.

Anyway, alcohol and time have not been kind to these guys. Kevin DuBrow is rail thin with a bloated beer belly. Yikes! I’d been looking forward to having a beer or two tonight after the kid was asleep, but I changed my mind after seeing these guys.

What does ANY of this have to do with people dying at OzzFest? Um, nothing. Nevermind...:)

[honolulugal]

I knew you had a soft, sweet side in you, somewhere. :)

[donna]

The drunks and druggies criminilize themselves.

[Eric Blair 2084]

Don’t let anybody else know, it will ruin my rep as an uncaring capitalist.

[Eric Blair 2084]

So go get em. There was a drunk who fell down in the upper deck while walking to his seat with 4 24 oz beers and broke some guy from Washington State’s neck at Shea Stadium a couple of months ago.

They’ve banned drinking at USC, UCLA stadiums and at the Harvard/Yale tailgates. It’s a start.

You can’t smoke anywhere in Shea or Yankee Stadium, but you can drink as much as you want and gorge on $6 hot dogs. It has to stop. It’s hypocritical.

Go get em donna!

[donna]

Sounds like you just found out that life’s not fair, LOL.

[monkfan]

Don’t feel too bad. I went to a Neil Diamond concert once.

[monkfan]

IIRC, Ozzy couldn’t get booked with Lollapalooza, so Sharon invented Ozzfest. Seems he’s rubbed a few people the wrong way.

[Eric Blair 2084]

You’re right. It’s not fair Donna. The Marxists and Socislists on the left will MAKE IT FAIR.

[ichabod1]

You deserve a break today. Like a good neighbor, band-aid’s stuck on me. Are you a pepper?

[lormand]

What happened to all of the Brown Acid that people were warned not to take during Woodstock?

Dead Heads!
