What's It Like to Get Hit By Lightning?.
I've had a few tense moments working outside. When you see that flash, standing in a stream with a 5ft steel rock-bar suddenly seems like a bad life choice.
From what I remember of my Wilderness First Responder courses, for victims of a lightning strike CPR is much more likely than usual to actually bring a person out of cardiac arrest (as opposed to buying time while you wait for a defibrillator). So long as the scene is safe, don't delay resuscitation - a body does not remain "charged" with electricity afterwards.

Wicked Clown Countdown: Juggalo Army to Invade Seattle (Do You Have a Date Yet?).
Juggalos overheard on the 44 a few years ago: "Yo, fuck Spiderman - that motherfucker is unreliable. It used to be Spiderman had your back yo, he was down for the clown. Now I don't even know who he's fuckin' with."
"I'm about as close to an old school Juggalo as you can get. I got THREE hatchet tattoos."
"Yo I'm chillin' at home. I just got outta jail, and my old lady is in court tomorrow so we only got one night together."

Saint Genet Re-Creates "Shoot".
@21: I would certainly pay to see Saint Genet butt-chug a 40 of OE in a gallery. "Mmm yes, you see it represents the dialectic between the artist and the inspiration which animates us."

All You Motherfuckers Complaining That aPodments Are Too Small at 200 Square Feet.
I would rather be nailed inside a coffin than not have land to work. It might be slightly more bearable if more apartment buildings would allow rooftop gardens, but almost none do. I miss the culture, sure - but seeing as I can't afford a bazillion dollar piece of land, I'll stick to the boondocks. Of course the boondocks are being paved over and homogenized with the influx of McMansion dwelling former Eastsiders, but that's another damn story.
