LA ICE: shovelling the snowbacks back

This is remarkable video of one of LA’s most secretive police units, ICE: Illegal Canadian Enforcement. They sweep the streets clean of Canuckistani invaders, tipped off by nothing more than a glimpse of an NHL jersey, a whiff of maple syrup, or just a whistled bar of “Snowbird.”

Fear them.

What Would Jesus Do?

Probably bail him out, the softie! Then again, he might be busy taking Dad to his parole hearing.

Authorities began investigating God… in April, and he was arrested on Saturday.

Where is your god now?

From NBC30:

South Windsor police arrested Almighty Supremebeing Allah on drug charges…Almighty Supremebeing Allah, who lives in West Hartford, was accused of cocaine possession with intent to sell.

West Hartford, Connecticut? Huh. I’d have lost a bet.

But wait! Jesus can’t do anything! Jesus is missing!

Missing: One 45-kilogram concrete statue of Jesus.

Colchester County RCMP are asking for the public’s help to find the missing statue, stolen from a cemetery in Middle Stewiacke, just outside Truro.

Don’t worry. A lot of people have faith that Jesus will return.

Going Tubular in London

Boris Johnson‘s ban on open booze on London public transit has certainly brought out the best in his fellow citizens. What better way to prove that drinking on the Tube is a perfectly civilized activity and nothing that Londoners can’t handle than to Facebook a few thousand of your closest strangers and get knee-walking, vomit-comet drunk on the last night of booze-freedom?

The Guardian reports:

Police arrested 17 people and closed six London Underground stations after a party to mark the last day of legal drinking on the Tube ended in chaotic scenes.

Four train drivers and three other London Underground staff were assaulted, one police vehicle was damaged and two officers assaulted and another injured.

Witnesses said the stench of alcohol on the network was overpowering and that people were “being sick all over the place”. Drunken partygoers began fighting and vomiting as the midnight ban on drinking drew nearer.

Way to go, London! That will show them you can handle your booze.

From the BBC:

Londoner Matt Wynn, 43, a banker, said: “I’ve come along with a bottle of Champagne because I want to show that you can drink responsibly on the Tube and not cause trouble.”

But others took a different approach from the beginning.

Peter Moore, 35, a sailor from Brighton, said he had downed a can of beer in 10 seconds. “It’s sweaty on there, but I’m going round and round until I vomit,” he said…

As Saturday night wore on, eyewitnesses described how drunken partygoers began fighting and vomiting, ripping up maps and adverts, spilling alcohol and leaving debris.

British Transport Police said there was a “large amount” of instances of disorder reported.Liverpool Street underground station was closed to ease overcrowding for several hours. Other Tube stations closed by police were Euston, Euston Square, Aldgate, Gloucester Road and Baker Street.

Let’s go to YouTube for a closer look at what really happened, shall we?

Dear raincoaster, I am a terrorist on the run and…

Michael Jackson…things could be worse

Many and varied are the service pieces that we here at the ol’ raincoaster blog consider posting for the benefit of our many and varied readership, but among them certain universal qualities recur. The piece must be practical at the bedrock level. It must be actionable, easy to put into practice. It must appeal to our readers as applying directly to their lives and impacting those lives in a positive way, once implemented.

This blog post from CelebrityCosmeticSurgery meets all of those criteria. How to change your appearance via plastic surgery if you’re a terrorist on the run. Now that is what I call Servicey! Thousands of our readers can apply this directly to their lives and greatly reduce their stress level immediately, or at least once the bandages come off.

I think the one thing that would change a man’s appearance the most if the growing or removal of facial hair. After this, I would have to say maybe a rhinoplasty? (See Michael Jackson and Ashlee Simpson). Or possibly a browlift (see Greta Van Susteran).

To this, we with our awareness of those tricksy law enforcement peeps, would add fingerprint grafts (does not require actual dead body, just de-handsed one; I recommend Saudi Arabia for its large surplus of freshly severed hands) a la that South American drug lord who had more work done than Joan Rivers and finally expired on the operating table during a routine facelift which he’d undergone because he liked his new looks just that much and wanted to look after them.
