There is just so much win in that article. From the woman, to the guy's name, to the tattoo itself, to the story (Alaska! Really!), to the packaging. It's all awesome. He even stayed in his hometown.

She explains, 'Posting the tattoo to Chopper sent a clear message. Now he knows never to mess with me again.'

I think he had already decided that course of action was advisable. Nice of her to confirm it.

I saw that. At first, I was encouraged at how calm and reasonable he seemed on the phone, and the operator's professionalism.

And then I realized this guy has a child. And can't figure out what to do about a house cat. His own house cat.
Comforter, cat, vet, phenobarbitol. All done.

I don't hold out much hope for his Dad-skilz.

Portland is draining 38 millions of gallons of treated water from a reservoir because a 19-year-old man drained himself into it.
Although the man's urine doesn't pose a health risk — animals routinely pee in the reservoirs, after all — a water department spokesman said the city doesn't want to deliver deliberately tainted material....."
