Brickbat: Chicken Picking

Shariff Che\' Lah / Dreamstime.com

Tennessee's Farragut High School suspended Carson Koller for one day after he bought six chicken nuggets in the lunch room instead of five. In fact, the lunchroom charged him for three separate lunches when he tried to pay for an extra nugget, but school officials said he stole the nugget. After his mother went public with the punishment, the school rescinded the suspension.

We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office.

[Adans smith]

I call fowl on the suspension.

[thrakkorzog]

I'm surprised the school district gave up so easily. Authoritarians tend to keep fucking that chicken.

[Adans smith]

I believe you mean 'choking the chicken.'

[thrakkorzog]

Why not both?

[Adans smith]

I don't give a pluck.

[thrakkorzog]

Sorry, there was the egg of a pun thread in there, and I fowled it up.

[Adans smith]

I had to scramble to think of a response.

[The Hyperbole]

It was a foghorn conclusion that you would.

I say, that boy's so dumb, he thinks a Mexican border pays rent.

[Adans smith]

'tttttthhhh at's all folks'

[Radioactive]

I'm glad that's over, easy.

Go ahead, I dare you.

[The Fusionist]

Sounds like someone laid an egg.

And that's no yolk.

Shell we stand for this?

[Adans smith]

I see your a breast of the situation.

[The Fusionist]

These puns make people thigh in frustration.

[The Fusionist]

I should say fruthtrathion.

[Adans smith]

They tickle me to the gizzard.

[The Fusionist]

All these bad puns - what have we beak-come?

[Adans smith]

To be honest,I poached a few of these.

[The Fusionist]

That's a feather in your cap.

[Adans smith]

I'm posting these on a wing and a prayer.

[The Fusionist]

That will put you at the top of the pecking order.

[Adans smith]

You don't have to crow about it.

[The Fusionist]

You want to be cock of the walk.

[Adans smith]

I', just here looking for chicks.

[The Fusionist]

You're a real comedian, like Hen-ny Youngman.

[Adans smith]

Chicken Little? I flocked her.

[Adans smith]

She'll do anything for a little scratch.

The authorities need to feather their touch in cases like this instead of coming off the nest.

Go over the calorie allowance, pay the price: fines, detention, exile. [I'm sure there are allowances for frame and height differences.]

So Wookies are from Vulcan now? This is really going to mess up my fanfic.

Star Trek XVII: The Wraith of Khan

[Adans smith]

Spoiler alert: Daniel comes back form the dead and Carter does a nude scene with Crusty.

[C. Anacreon]

We streamed Star Trek: Beyond over the weekend and I was surprised how much I ended up liking it. It reminded me a lot of Wrath of Khan, with the crew seemingly overmatched and in an unwinnable situation, but always staying mellow and keeping their senses of humor. Throw in a bit of 'cavalry to the rescue" at the end, a hot alien chick (played by the toe-knife martial-arts maid from Kingsmen, rrrowr!) and this was the most enjoyable Star Trek for me for a long time. Was I just in a good mood, or was it really a decent entry, reminiscent of some of the better Star Trek entries?

[thrakkorzog]

It was a Wrath of Khan remake. Lay off the memberberry wine.

[Rat voted NOTA]

Chicken nuggets? The Wookie does not approve.

[Adans smith]

The Wookie will soon be displaced.Plus,4 years of Ivanka images.

[Fist of Etiquette]

THERE. ARE. FIVE. NUGGETS!

[thrakkorzog]

Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra.

[Stormy Dragon]

Trump, when the wall rose.

[Tom Bombadil]

Now that the election is over, we can get back to the kind of stories that unify us.

[Adans smith]

Beer,scotch?

[thrakkorzog]

Are we not doing Weed, Mexicans, and Ass sex anymore?

[EDG reppin LBC]

Nope. It's now beer/scotch, Colombians, and blow jobs.

[Adans smith]

It's a new order order the disaster of the 2000 comment post.

[thrakkorzog]

Yeah, the legalization of gay marriage kind of took the wind out of the ass sex platform.

It also killed one of my favorite old jokes

A guy walks into a police station and tells the desk sergeant that that he had anal sex with his wife. So the Sergeant pulls out his papers, and asks him if he's confessing to committing an unnatural act. And the guy says
"Hell no, I'm just bragging, I already told my barber, my priest, and my accountant, you were just the next stop on the street."

[The Fusionist]

I've heard a similar joke, except it's a priest not a cop, it's an 80-year old Jewish guy, and he's confessing to having sex with an 18 year old girl.

"But why are you telling *me* about it?"

"I'm telling *everyone!*"

[thrakkorzog]

So Farmer Johnson comes home one day, and his 16 year old daughter tells him she's pregnant. Needless to say Johnson was a bit upset. So when asked about the father, she panicked a bit to try avoid a shotgun wedding. And so she said that Old McDonald was the father.

So the next day the Sheriff, Farmer Johnson, and his pregnant daughter show up at Old McDonald's house.

Old McDonald was 70 if he was a day, he was just whittling on his porch when the sheriff rolled up. "Hey this guy said you knocked up his daughter." And his response was "I didn't do it, but I will proudly plead guilty,"

[The Fusionist]

"OK, Old McDonald, take a seat over there..."

[Adans smith]

I would also have accepted red wine,red....wine

[thrakkorzog]

But it doesn't make me feel so fine.

[Adans smith]

On ice,it's nice

OT: I see an article link at Drudge talking about "Trump should pardon Assange".
I've read this idea numerous times in comment section in other places.

What the hell can Trump pardon? A Swedish rape allegation? I know Obama expanded Presidential Power but I'm sure it hasn't gone that far.

[Jerryskids]

The allegation is that the Swedish rape allegation is merely a pretext so that Sweden can take him into custody and then extradite him to the US for vigorous investigation over the Wikileaks stuff. IIRC, Assange already had been investigated by a prosecutor who found no grounds for prosecution and a second prosecutor went after him after Assange had left the country, allegedly because if the UK seized him on behalf of Sweden the US could intervene and demand his extradition to the US and the UK would comply while keeping Sweden's hands clean on the issue. Assange had offered to be questioned at the embassy where he was granted asylum but the prosecutor kept insisting he had to come out and be taken into custody. Assange feared being taken into custody would result in his ass being black-bagged right into Guantanamo and I can't say that he was just being paranoid.

[The Fusionist]

It's my vague understanding that Swedish criminal procedure includes an interview with the suspect, and this supposedly has to happen before they decide whether to prosecute. It doesn't sound particularly fair - if they don't have enough evidence absent the interview, that would suggest that they're waiting for a chance to get him to incriminate himself before they clear him. But I could be wrong about all this.

[Tom Bombadil]

That's one way of looking at it. But the reason for the rule could also be to protect the accused, ie., "no person shall be charged before he has a chance to state his case in an interview".

Looks like one of those double-edged swords.

[The Fusionist]

To the extent the interview procedure is in place to protect the suspect's rights, then you'd think Assange could waive his rights - "it's OK, you can make your decision without interviewing me."

Although I understand he's offering an interview at the embassy.

[The Fusionist]

Which leads me to think that it's about more than the suspect's rights.

Eg, it's a chance for the cops to trip the suspect up by (for example) asking him if he was ever at such and such a place, and he denies it, but they have evidence he *was* there - so now they can argue that he's hiding his guilt.

[Tom Bombadil]

Jersey.
Thanks for the explanation, but I think the US would need to formally charge him with a crime before they can initiate extradition requests.
Maybe a lawyer can chime in.

[Tom Bombadil]

Does anybody know if there is currently an extradition request filed with either Sweden or England regarding Assange?

[Jerryskids]

FWIW, a biased view of the issue you can skim.

It's not too difficult to imagine a secret sealed indictment for Assange regarding "national security" issues.

[The Fusionist]

A 3D chess move would be to announce a broad amnesty in national security cases - pardon Snowden *and* the national security guy who lied about the surveillance, pardon Hillary *and* the people who were actually convicted for doing what she did.

I'm not saying Trump would actually do that, since I think he's really too establishmentarian for that.

[Tom Bombadil]

Unpossible.

State, Military, and Intelligence would go apeshit. That would be way too vague

[The Fusionist]

I'm not saying it would happen, I'm actually saying it probably won't.

[Jerryskids]

You seriously don't see Trump issuing a blanket pardon for his good friend Hillary on the grounds of healing the nation and putting this all behind us - a "reset button" if you will - a la Ford pardoning Nixon? This assuming Obama doesn't already have the paperwork drawn up? I can totally see Trump doing this, stupidly thinking it might buy him some brownie points with the left by demonstrating his good intent rather than enraging them by suggesting Saint Hillary has ever in her life done anything that would merit her needing forgiveness.

[The Fusionist]

I was talking about an amnesty for offenders *including* the people who did what Hillary did.

Sure, a Hillary-only pardon would be just the sort of thing he might do.

As I keep reminding my prog friends, he's a New York Democrat - even if he weren't an old friend of the Clintons, he'd still be inclined to make deals with his former party associates.

Presumably, of course, he would demand something in return. I would like to credit him with at least that much negotiating skill.

Maybe a get-out-of-jail-free card he could redeem next time he or one of his associates gets in trouble?

[Bobarian (Would Chip Her)]

After his mother went public with the punishment, the school rescinded the suspension.

That is just being a bad bureaucrat. When caught doing the stupid, always double down.

[The Fusionist]

Unless the person protesting is influential, in which case appease them without setting a precedent which will interfere with the way your treat the less-influential.

[Bra Ket]

It's a little metaphor for dealing with the government. If you get caught making a mistake, you're bent over and fucked bigtime. If it turns out they were the ones who made the mistake, oh well nevermind then.

[thom]

Reversing your decision means you did the wrong thing. Doubling down means you were just enforcing a policy.

[robc]

I would try to charge the school with theft for overcharging him, if I was the parents.

[Radioactive]

I really love chicken days...

[Robert]

I'm trying to figure out what really happened there, but clearly there's a climate of suspicion about the students, or maybe something against this particular student. Was the cashier, realizing belatedly that the student had been overcharged, trying to hide hir own fuckup by signaling a lunchroom admin that the student had cheated on the bill?
