Use 18: Stolen Goods

Yeah, yeah I know, it's been over a month. But my life hasn't slowed down any, and I haven't had time -- or artistic inspiration -- to update lately. Then I saw this story today.

The ashes of six year old boy who died from cancer 8 months ago were stolen from his parents' car:

"Eleven months ago, the family decided to cremate Tony 'Tigger' Rodriguez's body after the six-year-old died of cancer. They never thought they'd lose him again. But car burglars broke into the family's truck outside a La Quinta Inn on I-35 near Schertz. They stole a suitcase that carried Tony's ashes."

Imagine the robbers' surprise when they open that suitcase. Or when they die and wake up in HELL.

Hopefully, they won't make the same mistake theives made in the United Kingdom and snort the ashes, thinkng it is actually cocaine: http://www.snopes.com/horrors/cannibal/cocaine.asp

One might ask why the parents packed their son in a suitcase to take him on vacation with them. I usually put the DB in the passenger seat. Another question might be why did they leave their son in his suitcase in the car when they checked into the hotel. But really, none of these things matter in the long run, and with all sincerity, I do hope they find the ashes and return them to his folks.

ON A MUCH LESS DEPRESSING NOTE, we plan on taking the DB on a road trip for the weekend. And I got a Flip. So hopefully we'll be posting some fun video in the near future.
