No-Poop AlertLast Sunday a 15-year old boy in Batavia, Ohio, was shot dead by his neighbor for walking across the neighbor's lawn. Larry Mugrage was on his way home when he supposedly took a short cut and was confronted by 66-year old retiree Charles Martin in front of his house. According to police, Martin then shot the teen twice -- the first shot missed but the second hit him in the back below the shoulder blade. Martin calmly called 911 after the incident and said simply "I just killed a kid."
Martin complained that he's been harassed by neighborhood kids including Mugrage for years, and he finally "just blew up." Residents of this well-kept suburb of Cincinnati say that Martin maintains his lawn with meticulous care, measuring his grass length to the inch. He has been upset and called police previously when he felt that his lawn was invaded or violated by neighbors when they were mowing their own lawns.
I know that this blog has often covered poop topics and indulged in juvenile toilet humor -- after all, poop is one of the many things dogs do well, besides eating, sleeping, breeding, blogging and sled pulling (of course not necessarily in that order). But the message today is No More Poop. Or if you absolutely must go, look left, look right, check for anal gun-toting homeowners first then dump fast. Dig a hole and hide the evidence. And best of all, wear Kevlar-reenforced underpants when you roam the neighborhood.

What a shame, that some people are so attached to these little things, like a perfectly manicured lawn. And by the way, MY huskies won. Connecticut basketball, that is. Go huskies!

John,
I'm tempted to go over there and fertilize his lawn.
Connecticut,
I was rooting for Washington. But any husky team is better than no husky team.
