Any of you idiots ever played Whirlyball?  I'll assume it's a chain thing.

It's a mix of bumper cars and pelota played with a whiffle ball and trakball handles.  A good team building exercize.

No

Another officer used his Taser and made contact, but the man knocked one of the wires away with the light saber.

That may be the greatest thing I have ever read

Police arrested a man who allegedly assaulted three people with a blue light saber at a Hayden Island Toys R Us Wednesday night.

A 9-1-1 caller reported the incident about 9:50 p.m. and said the man was inside the store, 1800 Jantzen Beach Center, swinging the "Star Wars" weapon of choice at customers, said Sgt. Pete Simpson, a spokesman for the Portland Police Bureau. While the caller was on the phone, the man then left the store — light saber in hand — and walked out to the parking lot.

Officers tried to arrest the man, but he kept swinging the light saber at them, Simpson said. One tried to use his Taser on the suspect but the device didn't work.

Another officer used his Taser and made contact, but the man knocked one of the wires away with the light saber.

The officers finally arrested the man after grabbing him and pinning him to the ground. The suspect, identified only as a 33-year-old Hillsboro man, was treated by medics at the scene and taken to an area hospital for a mental evaluation. He faces "several criminal charges" after he is evaluated, Simpson said.

None of the victims of the light saber assault needed medical attention, Simpson said.

What was SD doing in Oregon?

There was a hostage situation about a mile from post this morning...guy killed his wife in Jersey, then took his two kids upstate and hid away in a pretty crappy motel overnight. At 7:30AM, the kids came out, and the guy then blew his head off. I was stuck in the traffic and past the motel right around that time. If I knew what the hell was going on, I would have definitely pulled over to watch. It was like a live taping of Cops. All sorts of special units, newstrucks, etc are still there..

At least the kids survived.  Maybe they'll become NFL long snappers.

We're having fascinating discussions elsewhere.  that is incredibly accurate

You know what pisses me off?

Left lane drivers.

Move the farg over! The left lane if for passing only. Stop clogging traffic up because you want to cruise in the left lane at 65-70.

i hate the guy who goes 65 but doesn't get over because there is a tuck in the right lane coming up, and they are just close enough that you can't pass on the right.

i've given up on riding their ass in the left lane until they move over, i just pass on the right now and get back over so close to their bumper that they shtein their pants

[Diomedes]

three times a day I'm in a lane that bottles up due to volume, so people bomb down the adjacent turn only lane and then try to tuck into line.  these people I don't let in.  my car cost $500 four years ago, hit me.

Yeah I do that too - pass on the right and then jump right back over. Most of the time its some cock on their cellphone.

[ice grillin you]
