This 19-year-old self-described "Bridge Troll" was arrested last week after demanding a $1 fee from joggers and bikers wanting to cross his bridge. It later came out that he was high on LSD, but it doesn't make this any less funny. His friend claims he was having a "bad trip" -- and granted my understanding of LSD highs is limited at best -- but I thought a "bad trip" was one where you, like, are absolutely fucking certain that the hula-hooping alligator laid an egg in your stomach when you talked to her and you have to cut yourself open right fucking now before the baby alligator hatches and eats you from the inside out. Thinking you are a bridge troll just sounds like a regular trip. Or is it just necessarily a bad trip when it culminates in your arrest?

When I hear about this sort of thing, I tend to tune it out. I live on LA's Westside, hang out in South Bay and venture occasionally into Hollywood if someone else is driving. These obese people storming the nation feel mythical to me, all horned and bearded, unkempt, charging forward into our great nation carrying some manner of pole arm and a chicken wing. I never see anyone beyond a size 6 around here.I know we hear about the fat people incessantly these days, but MSN had the courtesy and the sum...
This is not entirely true. To be fair, some of them just have a pilot. But they are all very, very good pilots -- kind of like Sex and the City meets Entourage -- and they all have a very, very well-connected friend. None of them would be doing this if they weren't really confident that they could get this thing sold. Really.I have neither a screenplay nor a pilot. I'm not much of a writer. What I do have is a limitless supply of solid-gold reality show pitches. My latest is truly a gem: America's N...
Unfortunately, I appear to be the only client in the place who doesn't know any of them. I've been going there for years for the same fill-and-French (that sounds kinda dirty), and at least a few of them seem to know mine -- they greet me by name when I walk in -- and I haven't the foggiest idea how. Did they get it off of my checks? I have never introduced myself by name to any of them, and I don't really talk to them much while I'm sitting in there. In fact, every time I go in there, no matter...
