The ones in my neighborhood are mostly red. The two on my street are red and blue.

Am I the only one that thinks there's just the slightest possibility of this website causing a lot of unnecesary fear and distress?

footfootfoot · 04-09-2007, 07:29 PM

yes, in fact.

DanaC · 04-09-2007, 07:31 PM

Okay, just askin'

A musical interlude courtesy of Tom Lehrer:

ARTIST: Tom Lehrer
TITLE: My Home Town
Lyrics and Chords

I really have a yen to go back once again
Back to the place where no one wears a frown
To see once more those super-special just plain folks
In my home town

/ C Am Dm7 G7 / / F B7 C / D7G7 C - - - /

No fellow could ignore the little girl next door
She sure looked sweet in her first evening gown
Now there's a charge for what she used to give for free
In my home town

I remember Dan, the druggist on the corner, 'e
Was never mean or ornery
He was swell
He killed his mother-in-law and ground her up real well
And sprinkled just a bit over each banana split

/ C C7 F7 - / - - C7 - / C - / F7 - Am - / C - D7 G7 /

The guy that taught us math who never took a bath
Acquired a certain measure of renown
And after school he sold the most amazing pictures
In my home town

That fellow was no fool who taught our Sunday school
And neither was our kindly Parson Brown
I guess I'd better leave this line out just to be on the safe side
In my home town

I remember Sam, he was the village idiot
And though it seems a pity, it
Was so
He loved to burn down houses just to watch the glow
And nothing could be done because he was the mayor's son

The guy that took a knife and monogrammed his wife
Then dropped her in the pond and watched her drown
Oh, yes indeed, the people there are just plain folks
In my home town

I know it has made me nervous. I thought about showing my parents but they might never let me leave the house again if I do.

That's what I mean. Now Duck duck is frightened on her own street.

busterb · 04-09-2007, 07:43 PM

Why am I the only one in my town?

lumberjim · 04-09-2007, 07:45 PM

bluecuracao · 04-09-2007, 07:58 PM

Not to alarm anyone, but this website isn't showing all of the sex offenders, in my neighborhood anyway, that another website I've seen has. Two compared to about 10, if I recall.

footfootfoot · 04-09-2007, 09:32 PM

Yeah, the two guys we got a flier about from our local cops aren't on that website, but then the website doesn't list the subterranean addresses...

piercehawkeye45 · 04-09-2007, 11:33 PM

Not a lot by where my parents live, not suprising considering the type of town it is.

elSicomoro · 04-10-2007, 12:49 AM

One of my neighbors was convicted of 2nd degree statutory sodomy...whoohoo!

we have someone supposedly living near here who was involved in a high profile case. I try not to listen too much to all the various rumours else I would never let my kids leave the house. These people sadly are always going to be around us, we just have to take sensible precautions with our kids, like my 9yr old daughter is never without adult supervision
