Random but I actually had business that took me to the Missouri boot heel over the weekend.

I didn't actually make it to Blytheville (I wanted to go snap some photos of the Sweet Manor but we were on a really tight schedule) I was within a few miles of there in Hayti and Caruthersville though.

I was actually very pleasantly surprised, they were actually nice (albeit very poor) towns full of extremely welcoming and not at all racist people. If anything, both black and white people seemed much less racist than big southern cities like Atlanta and Nashville.

Is this the logo he claimed to have designed?

Jon got called for jury duty
http://haggismccrablice.deviantart.com/art/Disorder-in-the-Court-682245062

So I got called up for jury duty on May 1.

When I got there, I found this sign on the door saying that all hearings had been postponed owing to weekend storms that had caused blackouts and problems with the telephones all over the area. I was to come back in two weeks.

I returned on the 15th, as per the instructions. There was a roll call and a brief jury orientation. After two hours we were released with instructions to call on the following Friday the number (redacted here) we were given to see when the court resumed.

We called. My next jury appointment comes up a week from Friday (Jun 2).

Yeah, it's hardly the O.J. trial or the Bill Cosby thing now going on over in Pittsburgh. Twelve Angry Men it ain't. It's not even a criminal case. It's a little civil slap-fight that may not even come to trial if the litigants decide to settle out-of-court first (which happened eight years ago the first time they called me up). I probably won't even get picked to serve. I could even wheedle out of it by citing hardship, or simply giving vague, noncommittal answers to any questions. Flus, either way I still get paid for showing up. Easiest seventeen bucks I can expect to make.

God bless America, eh?
 
I am mildly uncomfortable with someone's fate potentially being in the stalking horror's hands particularly given his racist tendencies. I hope the defendant isn't black.

Or the plaintiff, really. He's a lazy enough fucker though that he'll probably openly admit "I hate niggers" if he's asked, knowing it will get him off.
 
How did he even get called up? I thought jury pools were drawn from driver's licenses databases.

"Excuse me, ma'am, what' your name? Mrs. Sweet? Okay, Mrs. Sweet, I think you have the wrong room. We're putting together a jury here. If you want tags for your rescue animal, you have to take it down the hall to ---

Wait, it's a human? It was called up? What's it's name? No, are you serious? That?!

Uh ... Tell you what, here's your seventeen bucks. Please take it back home. And make it stop drinking out of the toilet!"
 
There are much more recent examples Sweet Bro could have cited of people stirring controversy and getting dumped by their networks -- ABC, in fact. But now we're reminded of a really irrelevant guy who has been reduced to doing cartoon voice work (I don't think he's even the Aflac duck anymore). Trust Sweet to go for an older reference.
