Mad Tea Cup Update
March 21, 2008
Victoria Walker has been charged with battery with a deadly weapon. If she is convicted she could face 15 non-magical years in prison. She declined a plea deal that would have given her only 1 non-magical year in prison, and the trial will go to jury now.
There are a few instructive things here. First, they are calling this incident "line-rage." Is there such a thing as "line-rage?" Of course! Everyone experiences it. But few people flip out and try to pound someone to jelly while waiting to ride on the Mad Tea Cups. (Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, maybe.) Second, there's a new detail that's come to light: Ms. Walker allegedly tried to strangle Ms. Krause with her own lanyard. I had never thought of using a lanyard like this. I just, you know, put pins on them and whatnot. This is a very creative use by Ms. Walker, if true.
Jury selection for the ‘Tea Cup Madness’ trial will begin in April.

I almost got into a fight with a woman's husband at a movie theater once. We walked by her and said "excuse me" and she made a rude comment, which led my Wife to make a similar comment...a tense few moments of verbal clashing occured and then I stepped in and told them to ease up. At that point the "other womans" husband came up to me and asked if I wanted to settle this outside. I laughed at him and said sure thing, after my movie is over in 2 hours. Needless to say we left out the little doors at the front of the theater by the screen. Laughing the entire time.

I'm wondering if the blog hero has been hit with kryptonite. Today, it is 1 month since the last entry.
