Slammed Home
Ok I'm going to try to to be more regular again on my blog. I read this article and couldn't help... Actually read it first I'll comment after.
MINNEAPOLIS - During his glory days as a pro wrestler, Verne Gagne shared the spotlight with other burly men in trunks, guys with names like Killer Kowalski, Mad Dog Vachon, The Crusher and Baron Von Raschke.
But all of that seemed well in the past until just weeks ago, when authorities say Gagne, 82 and suffering from Alzheimer's disease, apparently body-slammed a 97-year-old fellow patient at the suburban nursing home where they both lived, causing the man's death.
Bloomington police are investigating, but not even the victim's widow wants to see the dementia-stricken Gagne prosecuted.
"It's been so hard on both families," said Greg Gagne, Gagne's son and a former wrestler himself.
Police said there was no clear indication of what set Gagne off, and neither man could remember the incident afterward. Behaviour and personality changes are common as Alzheimer's progresses, and victims of the mind-robbing disease can become agitated.
Ok first of all. "Neither man could remember the incident afterward" I wonder why that was. One had Alzheimer's and the other was dead.
Fourthly Can you imaging making that call to the man who died' kids. "Uh yes your 97 year old father passed away today. He was body slammed off the cafeteria table by another resident. "
Tenthly I miss blogging.

Klingon please...
I stumbled on to a site that got shut down five minutes after I got there. What was happening is people were calling Rosetta which sells language CDs and requesting Klingon. The site was amazing as hundreds of people were recording their conversations. I realize this was a wrong thing to do but this was my favourite:
Her: I'm so glad you called to learn a new language... I'm going to need your zip code.
Me: 4321
Her: ...
Me: Hi.
Her: You are missing a number in that, I only have 4321
Me: Oh sorry, 3
Her: Is that the last number?
Me: Well it's not any less important than the others
Her: Ok, Can I get your name as well?
Me: Leeroy Jenkins, that's M-A-X-W-E-L-L
Her: I'm sorry, did you say Jenkins?
Me: That's right, M-A-X-W-E-L-L
Her: I'm sorry?
Me: No problem. Do you have all the info you need?
Her: Almost, is your last name Jenkins or Maxwell?
Me: Yes it is, please try to pay attention.
Her: OK, which language are you interested in learning today?
Me: Canadian.
Her: English?
Me: I don't think they speak Canadian in England.
Her: I think they speak English in Canada, do you want to learn English?
Me: I'm pretty sure I already know English, I'm calling to ask about Canadian.
Her: We don't offer a Canadian dialect course at this time. Is there another language you might be interested in?
Me: Really? I hope that's not because you don't think Canada is important.
Her: No sir, we just...
Me: It's really big, and they can see Russia from there you know.
Her: Yes I know sir, is there another language you are interested in learning today?
Me: Well, to be honest there's some new people who moved in on my block and they are really weird like they just moved out of their parents basement and maybe it would be a good idea to learn their language so that I could relate to them better, maybe hang out and order a pizza or play battletoads with them
Her: What language do they speak sir?
Me: I'm not sure exactly but if you ask me I think it's Klingon.
Her: Please stop calling us sir, this isn't funny. *click*
