True, I suppose. After all, I didn't invent the concept that if you don't like what's on, turn the channel. If you disagree with me, state your piece and discuss. If you can't take a joke...

At times like this, I ask myself, "What would Shane do?"

Tripod, hell. He's been through more damn tripods than a camera bug. Last I heard he was gonna buy a Sexpod. It's a small electronic device in pastel colors with six...well never mind six what. But anyway, it is designed to... well, never mind what it does, either. But Spaw says it is TWICE as good as a tripod, and like some other things we could mention it fits in his pocket.

I see the folk police have had this thread title altered.
Total sense of humour failure on the part of a few there!
I mean I could understand people being upset if the name attached to an Obit headed thread was someone they knew and loved, but this flouncing, posing, and mock outrage on the part of some, would be laughable were it not so sad!

Yes, I should think the competition will be fierce for that particular honor! And we only have to wait 25 more violations. Maybe Shane's own beloved Officer Jennifer Dana will get to stamp the 100th complaint form. She's been on duty elsewhere lately, but it would be cool if she could get posted back to Blind River for that.

I know Shane McBride. Anyone who does would not be offended... mostly just curious to see how he cheats death yet one more time.

As for VERY bad taste, Shane has none. Except for that Shania thing. Why would he pine after some chick that ain't never impressed much? Oh... yeah... money... I can't get with that.

It will be gratifying, I'm sure, to the many friends of Shane McBride to know that Mr. McBride is not dead. The earlier report was the the result of a combination of things: what appeared to be blood soaking the back of Mr. McBride's head, the condition of his clothing, and the odour.

Upon arrival at hospital morgue, Mr. McBride was stripped and washed. When the stream of disinfectant solution touched him he jumped wildly from the morgue table and screamed, "HOLY FLIPPIN' FLIP! That's cold enough to wake the flippin' dead!"

Two morgue attendants, three orderlies, and a shot of valium calmed Mr. McBride enough to take him to a room and complete his washing-off. The material on the back of his head turned out to be not blood and brains, but raspberry jam. It is not know how raspberry jam got onto the back of Mr. McBride's head.

Mr. McBride is being held for observation and may be released momentarily. When he is released he will be charged with public intoxication and obstructing a public path.

Word from Blind River does not address these issues. The only information I have is what has been given above. Well, there is a quote from one of the EMTs who responded, who is supposed to have said, "Yeesh! Well, I can't believe anyone who looks like THAT is still alive!" I didn't include that out of respect for "Shane."

Boy, Rapaire, you are really being hard on the boy! He is severely ticked off at you. I think he may give up on Mudcat entirely if you keep up this sort of thing.

Shane has had more than one beer bottle busted over his head in the past in various bar altercations with waitresses and other idiots similar to himself, so I hardly think one more would make a crucial difference at this point.

Shane McBride's many friends will be saddened to learn of his demise this afternoon. While attending the "Standouts Wet Tee Shirt Contest" in Blind River, Ontaria, Mr. McBride was struck on the head by an empty beer bottle which had been inadvertently knocked off a window ledge above the gutter in which he was laying.

Emergency medical personnel were at the scene almost immediately, but shook their heads when they realized that nothing much could be done. He was transported to hospital under the provisions of the Clean Streets Act, and the transportation will be charged against the appropriate Provincial budget.

Mr. McBride is survived by an older brother, Don McBride, and by himself, who is currently abroad in Amsterdam.

His passing leaves all of us the poorer, and he will be missed by many to whom he owed much.
