Chicken scratches...

There was this well-known comedian watching a film noir in a theater in NYC. It was one of those close-up scenes where the principal character uses a lull in the action to reflect on what's happening or what's about to happen.

The protagonist turned to character and asked in portentous tones:

"Have you ever tasted fear before?"

At which instant, the comedian, unable to control himself, yelled out to the screen:

"Yes! It tastes like chicken!"

Trope, I mean first you call the cops and then it depends upon your neighborhood and then 'they' just keep breaking in and then all of your past nightmares and your past sins

creep in including the sins perpetrated against you creep in and then some folks just creep out!

I would have done what he did with the exception of that last shot!

He just gave up and he wished to be caught.

Yeah, we need some help in this mental illness area, for sure!

Well, right now these days I

Well, right now these days I ain't drinking, but taking my medication which if I wasn't I could see myself eventually doing just what that guy did. There is still that kind of "script" (as on therapist would call it) in my head: I mean, if these folks want to break into my home, well, then I'm going to show them what happens when you don't respect other people's privacy.

I know it is crazy talk. But I am what they call crazy. And I could see myself kind of going down that path. Thankfully I had family with financial resources to help me get the right kind of medication, since the public mental health system where I was at was just slowly moving along and saying I had to stay perfectly clean and sober for over four months before they would even set up an appointment with a psychiatrist.

I go on and on about what is wrong with our mental health system, but too much of it is focused on the meth heads who being court ordered into treatment, so for the mental health clinics that is where the money is at

I think that a conviction would have something to do with the location of the trial with regard to a stand your ground defense in Florida.

And all the defense needs is one strange juror for a mistrial.

From one perspective, chicken is more descriptive of the sun than yellow.

Yellow comes from the Old English "geolu" which is pronounced "jeolu." (It would have been interesting had he said it ain't yellow, it's jello.)

Geolu come from proto-Germanic "gelwaz" itself from proto-Indo-European *gʰel-, *gʰelə- which means “shine" or "glisten”.

Germanic cognates include Old Saxon gelo (Dutch geel), Old High German gelo (German gelb), Old Norse gulr (Swedish gul).The Indo-European root is also the source of Greek χλωρός (khlōros, “pale green”), Latin helvus (“honey-yellow”), Old Irish gel (“bright white”)

Looking up the Greek χλωρός, It is a congnate of χλοερός "verdant" & χλόη "the green of new growth"

χλοερός or verdant is from ancient from Ancient Greek χλόη or khloē, meaning “green shoot, sprout”)

So he could have said And dropping a barbell he points to the sky saying the sun aint yellow it's like the green of a new sprouting plant" and he would have been etymologically saying the same thing. But chicken works for me.

Who's goin to keep Byron's stuff safe until he gets out at age 104? Can Cliven Bundy spare a few of his hotheads to stand guard?

Have Republicans made it legal yet for jail inmates to carry? Wouldn't inmate militias increase safety and reduce violence in the jails?

He did plan to kill them. I

He did plan to kill them. I am sure the tape helped convict him of that. He would of been convicted here too in Florida.
