Is Easter the time for cannibalism?

I am back. It is not that the muse has returned it is more that I saw/read/heard some funny things over the course of the long weekend. Number 1 is that they arrested some dude in Oklahoma City when they found the body of his 10 year old neighbor who had been missing. The dude had sexually assaulted her and was striping her body so that he could eat it. The headline stated that cannibalism was the motive. It is sick. Then again, it leads me to ask the question about the sexual assault. Does screwing a dead body make the "meat" more tender? Is that an old chef's technique, I mean it is similar to the dude in Mexico. Now, given the relative proximity of Oklahoma City to Mexico, I wonder if this was a copycat sort of thing, but with a ten year old girl instead of another dude of similar age and without the drugs, though, drugs may have been involved, but I did not care to read enough to find out.

My sister in law and family were in from the US. On Friday, I did work out, and saw, or is that smelled Stinky Guy. He was doing his stinking thing on MY ARC Trainer. I had to go the one furthest from him. In any event, I was not beside him and somehow avoided his stink from wafting my way. Then when I had about ten minutes left, a women comes on the machine between us. She was the buffer if only she were smell neutral. She was not. She was perfumed up. It was rather sweet and then I would get an interesting mix of her sweet perfume and his stanky funk. It was a potpourri of stink. If she were wearing Febreze or some sort of odor neutralizer I would have been happy. Instead, I grumbled, did my time and then went about my day.

The best came later. We headed up to my outlaws so that my son could go for a swim with his cousins. When we arrived, my mother in law was down with my four neices and one nephew and brother in law. My sister in law was up with my father in law who has been diagnosed with some brain impairment (mini strokes with cognitive damage, which proved what I had been telling my wife about her father for the past couple of years. Would she listen? Of course not, but she could or would not read the signs, see her father getting locked in the bathroom with deadbolt lock) so he cannot or will not be left alone. Anyway, my wife, son and sister in law go down to the pool and I stay with my father in law. It had rained in the morning but around three the sun had started to shine through the haze. My father turns to me at some point and says "Am I crazy or is it hazy out there?"

I am dumbfounded. I mean are those to choices mutually exclusive? Did he want me to say "yes and yes" or how about just "yes". I am sure he would not follow up with the "yes to which question" question. I just let it slide as there was nobody there to appreciate any smart ass comment I could have made. It is lost on the dude who would forget that he even asked the question. At least he did not yell at me to stop running ten times. Though he does seem to watch a lot of SpikeTV and Star Trek TNG, which is really no worse than his previous enjoyment of Xena and Hercules. If it is in syndication, this is a man who will watch it. If it is first run and in prime time, he won't see it. Go figure. Caio.
