Dear Rebecca,

I thought you were mad at me after the terse response to a comment you made a while back on one of my shamelessly lifted Isla Vista posts. My reason? For a while there were no interesting reports from the land of the Barbarians, although I will admit that I hadn’t checked the paper for some time. Sure, I know it was the beginning of summer and they were starting to move out for a few months, but as a blogger the world revolves around me and I took it as some sort of retribution. I’d like to personally thank you, then, for this week’s gem:

A college student apprehended for obstructing law enforcement and public intoxication may also be held responsible for the financial expenditures incurred during his “unilateral decision to leap off a cliff” while trying to escape arrest in Isla Vista.

[...]

The subject’s 20-foot fall was slowed by the fact that his flip-flop became entangled in ice plant during his decent. Following contact with a rock outcropping, where he landed, the man lay unconscious for 15 seconds until he stirred awake. Despite suffering an arm fracture and a bruised lung, the young man got up and took off until captured on a stairwell leading up from the beach.

As a virtual shut-in, I need all the entertainment I can get, so thanks for brightening up my day. I’m still not willing to give up my super secret identity, though, because I’m totally paranoid.

Yours,

P-brick
