Five Years
This is my five-year anniversary/birthday of posting things on the internet. Here, then, is a post celebrating the oddity-enshrining power of the internet, specifically a news story I happened upon from the Seattle Times.
The main story, that of a misbehaving cop, is sort of weird, enough to pull you in, and then every three to five paragraphs they up the ante with something even weirder and only tangentially related. Then, finally, after it seems like all of the possible strange angles of this story have been covered, they close with this totally unexpected bombshell:
"In August 2000, Graichen [the amateur videographer] was there when a fellow officer shot and killed a 71-year-old man following the man's confrontation with a cable TV worker who was trying to disconnect his service."
Surreal.
