Man reports food vandalism
Friday, September 26, 2008
Vandalism by ramen?
A downtown Charleston man was awakened about 2 a.m. Saturday by barking dogs and the sound of someone screaming.
When he went downstairs, he found ramen noodles on his front door and inside his mail slot, a police report said.
The report said the man told police the house was vandalized about six weeks earlier with four pounds of shrimp.

Childish college "kids"... They need to be saving that food, because they don't, and won't be getting a high paying job with the market the way it is. They will probably be calling me for a labor job.

CB-with all of the other c-rap we read about, this provided some comic relief...even though it does show that some people do need to get a life...
I'm almost ashamed to admit that it caused a spontaneous eruption of laughter so early in the morning...
I'm sure if it had happened to me/my house it wouldn't seem funny at all...
I must say though, I hope the shrimp weren't fresh...what a waste.

Now there's a story I can sink my teeth into! Coldbeer, you should be writing books or short stories. You are missing out on a lot of money, man.

Dude, that was hilarious! But I thought FOR SURE that you were going to slide a "Sorry Charlie" or "Chicken of the Sea" reference in there somewhere!
Well, you know these kids have to find another form of prank since two kids (I think it was 2) have been shot and killed recently in this country for "egging" a house.
Damn humorless people...takin' the fun out of being a kid!

CB sed: "As I slowed at a red light, I noticed a noodle on the passenger floorboard of the Nova."
You owe me a dollar and a cup of ice for this statement...

They went from shrimp to ramen noodles? That is a definite sign that hard times are ahead.
Not just shrimp, mind you, but 4lbs.! Did they actually weigh the shrimp?
Can you imagine keeping them in an evidence locker at the police station. The person in charge of the evidence room would be getting some strange looks.
Heads on or off?

I must admit that I had a belly chuckle when I read this story. We live in a world full of idiots and one (or more) decided to visit this man's house twice! And they wasted some perfectly good shrimp and ramen. In the famous words of Al Bundy, "Damn Vandals!"
And ColdBeer, that was funny as hell!!!! Well, not that I think hell is funny or anything....oh...nevermind!

I also wonder...why was someone screaming at the sight of Ramen noodles? Do they need to go on Maury for their phobias?? I'm just curious...
4lbs of shrimp? Someone has money to throw away, huh? All they needed was some butter and some alfredo sauce and take away the high blood pressure pack (noodle flavoring) and they could have made do with a good pasta dish. But I digress.

I hope they used imported shrimp, damn them!

If I have 4 lbs of shrimp, they aren't going on someones house. 4 lbs. of shrimp just screams for some batter and cocktail sauce.
They can keep the noodles, though my daughter can eat them 5 times a week.

Tammie, someone was screaming, because they saw their meal get thrown on the guy's door. I just thought I'd clear that up for you, babycakes, okay?

Ok! Now that a pt was mentioned we can get to work we have the noodles, the shrimp. Now all we need is a little garlic, sautéed onions a bit of butter and some cream. And I can make us some noodles covered in shrimp cream sauce
