Uninspired Police Beat Post
“A drunken 18-year-old man said he punched and kicked a moving car simply because he felt like doing so,” reports the News Police Beat column. Not sure why that’s the lead, except that perhaps usually in A2 this sort of thing would be intended as a blow against the auto-industrial-Zionist complex.
why can’t they be like we were, perfect in every waaaaaaaaaaayyyy…

posted by OFWinsurgent on August 16th, 2006 at 9:50 pmI think they are trying to get one crazy arrest story each day. Tuesday it was the guy who wished he was the Incredible Hulk. How did you miss blogging THAT?
posted by Chris on August 17th, 2006 at 10:21 am“The damage was estimated at $491.” Not $490, not $492. Not “about $500″. That’s some estimate. (Thou shalt not count to 492. Thou shalt count past 490.)

posted by David Boyle on August 17th, 2006 at 2:48 pmI knew a kid once who stole a keg from a party with a couple people and walked two blocks drinking it until was empty then threw it through a car window.
The moral of the story is you guys should go post some bar specials on www.a2bardeals.com
posted by A2BarDeals.com on August 17th, 2006 at 3:02 pm1/2 off beers at Leopold’s Sunday thru Tuesday nights. $3 Michigan pints at Old Town after 11. That’s all I got.
posted by Brandon on August 17th, 2006 at 3:36 pmThe review of Arbor Brewing at A2BarDeals.com says that all the draft beers are brewed in-house. I guess they must have secured a franchise to brew Pilsner Urquell. I think they’re the only ones outside of Czechoslovakia to ever do that!
Fools.
posted by Michael McC. on August 18th, 2006 at 9:05 amAmazing that a $3 pint is considered a special price.

It could be, or is this some kid who showed off in a moment his learned awareness of a kind in which Justice is Just Power. A lot like the grown fraternity boy Bush did when thinking Iraq was a car door aching for a big kick.

posted by Grandpa on August 21st, 2006 at 12:53 pmSeriously, just because of the stupid stickers freakin’ everywhere, I’m gonna avoid the bar-deals website.
… also, I already know the best deals, or rather, the best deals for my priorities. $3 for pints is awesome when it’s Michigan microbrews (as at Old Town). Also, $8 for a 24-oz margarita is awesome when it’s at Leopold’s.
… very awesome. In fact, wonderful. Two drinks and I’m happy as can be; thanks, Todd!

Upon closer inspection I can see that while maybe he didn’t embarrass himself he does look half in the bag. Is that an endorsement?
posted by Anonymous on August 25th, 2006 at 9:19 amTwo? Yep, that’ll do it, Jen.
Glad that you liked our new Thursday pricing. There’s a new ad for Current coming out to advertise “Big Thursday” specials, complete with an Arbor Update inside joke.
