Think of the children!

Opposition to the streaking has grown since last year's derby, he said, when a deputy used a Taser to apprehend John Chase Rogers, 21, dropping him to the dirt as he streaked with a fire extinguisher before a crowd of 3,500.

Fire extinguisher? What's the story on the fire extinguisher, dude?

Well. Never mind. Try to concentrate on the story here. Police are vowing to take on the streakers who traditionally appear at the demolition derby on the Telon County (Wyoming) Fair's last day. As many as 10 of them last year, it seems.

Teton County Attorney Steve Weichman said a growing number of people have told him they didn't think that "drunk, crazy and naked streaking" is a "great, normal, fun thing."

Or at least not as great, normal, and fun as a demolition derby, drunk. crazy, and naked or not. And anyway the derby is a "family event," says Police Chief Zivkovich. So that's that.

Only let's not lose sight of the entertainment value here. Opposition has grown to the streaking, not the tasering, it seems. Maybe the kiddies would like more of that.

And what's with the fire extinguisher, anyway?

the think about blogger is that one can't see when answers to comments are. i left it for writing anything for that very reason. unless i scroll all the way down the column to see which ones have more than 2 comments, we're just dropping comments in the stream here....:(

you mean like that "recent comments" thing in the sidebar with typepad, etc. yeah. I don't see any way to do that with blogger.
