I usually don’t write about current events because, I don’t know, aren’t we oversaturated in that stuff already? But this I had to mention. What a scary thing to happen to anyone, whether young, female, seventeen, whatever - it’s the stuff horror movies are made of.
But at the same time I draw your attention to this quote from the Vancouver police:
“Chow said he hopes someone will recognize the handwriting, which has two distinctive features — the way the letter “A” is written in an unusually fluid style, and the fact that the exclamation marks are dotted using circles.”
Except for those few classes in grade 9, I’ve certainly never taken any graphology and it would be foolhardy, not to mention callous, to dismiss this girl’s concerns as a joke if the threat is carried out. Yet at the same time… look at that ‘A.’ Three exclamation points? Dotted with little circles? ‘The man who follow’? Honest to God, if I had to guess, I’d say the note was written by a girl. Like, an eighteen year-old girl more used to texting than printing - it just looks so juvenile. Does that really look like the writing of a kidnapper?
This guy, as per my usual robot doodles, started with a single eye and grew from there.
What he grew into appears to be an extra from West Side Story. “We want to go to Amer-i-ca!”
A snippet from the brilliance that is this week’s issue of the Onion:
Small Town Holds Annual Gay Shame Parade
Organized every year by the Grand Plains City Council and a coalition of area churches, the Gay Shame Parade has been an annual event here since 1977, the year that citizens first became aware of gay people’s existence.
“To see a whole community rally together like this around a good cause—it’s really an inspiration,” said Ellen Lundblom, a mother of four enjoying the festivities with her youngest son, first-time reveler Timmy, 3. “If I were a lesbian, this would have really made me feel awful about myself.”
“My favorite part was the balloons,” Timmy Lundblom said. “They had all different colors of angry frowny-faces on them.”
Hmm… You know, I think I might have stumbled across a few of these when I was living in Alberta.
If Gaytop has a life of give and take, I’m not sure if it should still be classified as a topper.
Just sayin’.
