Scary World

On TBO.com today, we find this: Man Charged In Rape, Home Invasion.

The whole "home invasion" thing is often, I think, an over-inflated threat. I've seen several of them in the paper down here recently, though. Perhaps it depends on where you live.

Normally, I'd say woe betide the scumbag who comes univited into the Bad Dog Hacienda. We have a solution for that around here. ("Do ya want the shepherd, or the .45? Oh hell, have both!")

This one's a little different, though. Check this out.

The pair were armed and confronted a man outside an apartment, stole jewelry from him and then forced him inside, Carter said.

So instead we say, woe betide any pair, armed or otherwise, that tried to force Mr. Abby anywhere. I wonder how good Tampa General is at removing weapons from the colons of would-be home invaders.

Oh - and Mr. Abby does not wear man-jewelry. What kind of freak wears man-jewelry?
