Gas Pricing is hitting the pockets of the armed and dangerous… well… ok here is the story, Good Morning by the way you look cheery eyed today… don’t bother I am not standing outside your window peeking in…it was just a guess.
The story, Police say Ellis, 28, of 8611 1/2 Green Street, walked into a home in the 7900 block of Plum Street in the Carrollton neighborhood on Friday, entering an unlocked door. He apparently neglected to bring a weapon, however, and "armed himself with a 'putty knife,' " according a report released by the New Orleans Police Department's 2nd District.
The resident, apparently somewhat less than terrified, tangled with the intruder and suffered a cut to his forearm and shoulder.
Ellis then reached for his next weapon: The lighter in his pocket. He threatened to burn down the house, police said.
Ellis tried to make good on the threat, lighting a stack of newspapers as he ran out the door, police said. The house didn't catch fire, but Ellis was booked with arson in addition to burglary.
Officers caught up with Ellis at Camborne and Green streets -- on his get-away bicycle. Hmmm Gas cost too much to use the get-away car… I would think the home owner almost laughed himself into submission when Ellis whipped out that putty knife and then again when his torch was a 19 cent bic lighter… Oh well, at least the house and family are safe and yet another putty knife wielding robber is behind bars.
Idol, I had to enter in a little tid-bit on Idol. Yes David the bare assed dancing baby boy got the boot last night, his song choice was totally wrong for him and his voice, I think Sergeant Peppers Lonely Hearts Club may have suited his voice better, Or Maxwell’s Silver Hammer… But regardless another one bites the dust. I am not thinking he will get a recording contract… but may get an invitation to dance at the Blue Moon Saloon…(isn’t that a gay bar?) No matter, that is all the Idol Chatter I have for one week.
May your day today, be fabulous, may the stars point our fortune and fame for you… sounds like a harlequin novel ending… Oh heck just have a great day!
A huge hug and a sweet pat
Mart
