UPDATE RE: TOO HOT TO FISH
The character in the"Too Hot To Fish" story that made a long video segment on Stephen Colbert half hour show five years ago has surfaced again. Though he was not the main feature of the video segment I thought he was more interesting.
My original post is HERE and it has a link to the video. That video is very difficult to find at the link but ran it down for you. You can see Mr. Toole at 5:30 in the original video HERE
This time a woman was driving down a rural road in Oconee County late August Saturday evening saw two men dragging a man who was tied with a rope. Like a good concerned citizen she called 911. When the deputy sheriff arrived, he found 44-year-old Chris Toole standing in his yard with rope marks around his shirtless body, barbecue sauce on his chest, and holding a 16-ounce can of beer, according to the report.
The deputy reported Toole admitted he was drunk and tied himself up as a joke so his friends could film him then post the video on Youtube.
But as Sheriff Scott Berry said Tuesday, “It was just another day on Rogers Road.” Toole, who made a name for himself locally for the “Too Hot to Fish” episode on the Stephen Colbert show, was arrested after placing a lawn mower on top of his landlord’s house as a practical joke.
“Chris has been in and out of my jail I don’t know how many times,” Berry said.
You can read the full story with Mr. Christopher Shown Toole's mugshot at the online edition of the newspaper HERE .
Have improvements really resulted in improving society?
Old cities died when they pulled out the electric trolleys that had been there for years. People wanted modern, convenience and shiny. Once the arteries were torn out the blood of activity could no longer flow. The bustling cities were abandoned to the malls. The cancer of ignored property moved in slowly eating away at the heart until the fires started its more rapid decent. People moved out to newer shiny modern houses but the cancer crept out to the burbs too. So the people keep on moving but look back in their memories to the past that was.
Data Visualization Of World War II Fatalities
War. What is it good for? Absolutely Nuthin! ( https://youtu.be/01-2pNCZiNk )
When I came across this I viewed it at first out of curiosity but as it played it hit home on so many points. I had two uncles that lived through WWII, I lived through nine years of the Viet Nam era, my paternal roots are from Poland and I managed to successfully talk my grandson out of entering the military to go to Iraq.
Today we have a number of politicians wanting to get us back into the war business. Money and chest thumping ego is behind it although money speaks louder. The financial gain for big war corporate machine is all they really see. They will not have to sacrifice their blood but the common many will. For Nuthin!
" This Animated Data Visualization Of World War II Fatalities Is Shocking
It’s difficult to conceptualize excessively large numbers, particularly when they pertain to human tragedies. But this highly-engaging animated data visualization by Neil Halloran makes WWII-related deaths all too comprehensible.
The 15-minute video (it’s well worth the time to watch), titled “The Fallen of World War II,” is divided into three sections. The first is an analysis of soldier fatalities by nation, while the second tackles civilian deaths (including the Holocaust). The final section provides a fascinating and illuminating overarching perspective of WWII in the context of previous conflicts and those that followed.
