Interesting mystery in Los Angeles. I am going to keep my eye on this one.

http://sacramento.cbslocal.com/2015/07/22/mystery-man-found-decomposing-in-car-had-more-than-1200-guns-cash-underwater-car/

I saw that story. Keep an eye out on it if you are local. So bizarre that it might be something that "disappears" in the national news. Underwater car? I want more details....those are some honest cops. I wish I happened upon a house full of cash, guns, ammo, and an underwater car. I might be driving, underwater, on the way to a tax-haven.

His girlfriend said the man claimed he was a secret agent for the last 30 years.

I wonder if he has a stash of Art Bell tapes.

With stuff like that I can believe it! Though I want more details. Like is the "underwater car" end up just being a vehicle with a snorkel; which is common in many 4x4s. I also want to know this guy's source of income to afford all that stuff. Not not a "secret agent" than something illegal or strange I'm guessing.

The article said he has $230,000 in cash in his house. He had a serious source of income. Even on the cheap, 1200 guns x $600 each gun is $720,000.

Yeah, this might need its own thread and should be mentioned on the news updates during MITD show tonight. Crazy. Drug dealer, inherited wealth, or maybe he is some kind of spy but I thought spies like that were just for the James Bond and books/movies!?

This does need its own thread. The story gets better.
"...in Pacific Palisades was believed to be a human/alien hybrid secretly working with the U.S. government by his fiancée and a missing Oxnard woman who worked for her"
"her daughter believes Lash was an alien “sent to earth to protect us."

Wow, holy carpsticks, was that guy planning on raising an army?

My threads tend to go nowhere due some political stuff. So somebody needs to create this thread and we need to get updates from local sources. So bizarre.

I wonder how many of those firearms will never make it to evidence lockup. Hey, my brother -- retired detective -- always said, "cops have the best shit"

Yeah, that's pretty good stuff, but I have a much simpler axiom:

Women marry the richest guy they can attract and men marry the hottest woman they can afford. Easy.

   Ever see those wino types who are dead asleep on a park bench surrounded by nip bottles at 2pm...

    My God do I envy them.

[Eddie Coyle]

  Well, I guess we'll never see Suburban Commando on TV again. 

   Thank Odin I have the VHS!

   U2 have a bassist and drummer.

   They've never had a rhythm section.

Exactly. When I was a kid, I lived next door to a retarded kid. Every day was a great day to him. Kennedy gunned down; great day. Vietnam raging on; great day. Undefeated number 1 ranked Buckeyes lose; great day.

His world was a simple world, unencumbered by the complexities and stress that slowly wither most people to a nub.

     I had a classmate, who while not quite retarded, was definitely not far from it and was the most incredibly overly optimistic and enthusiastic person you could imagine. I could envision being a 35 foot tall blind lesbian Eskimo before having his outlook or personality.

    Next time around, I'm eating paint chips as a toddler and going to enjoy my time here.

It certainly wouldn't be Dave Noorie tapes.  I can't imagine anyone crazy enough to do that.

The more I think about Pluto, the more I think it needs adequate representation in order to achieve planetary status, maybe  by the William Morris Agency or some such other powerhouse PR firm.  Or Pluto could possibly 'leak' a sex tape with one of Neptune's moons, you know, anything to trend on Twitter #PlutoisaSlut.

Failing that, millions of schoolchildren will have to continue prising the little blue styrofoam Pluto planet from their science projects and this is cruel and unacceptable.

Yeah, but then they'll just delete if pushed to the wall.

I love Pluto!

...

We are getting mad thunderstorms and rain this weekend. Driving around to attend to errands and I'm going to pick up a nice bottle of Pinot Noir. Maybe I'll paint Pluto with Pluto.

Actually they do; it's just hidden beneath/behind the stage when they do a gig. Keyboardists etc also reside out of sight..
