Gotta have a hobby.
Well then.
“Routine crawlspace inspection”, yeah, right…
The origins of lingua floridia
Man, sometimes I think I need to up my hobby game.
Have you tried trainspotting yet?
I just checked, none of those are my tongue.
Take off and nuke the site from orbit.
That struck me as being an oddly American thing.
If not, that’d be one helluva coincidence.
Police are currently investigating whether the tongues were related to research conducted by the home’s previous owner, Ronald A. Baughman, a University of Florida professor emeritus whose work focused on oral medicine and surgery.
I mean, hopefully (though still wildly creepy, inappropriate and possibly illegal), but what if it turned out they weren’t?
Or not - it seems to me that I’ve read about more than one doctor/researcher who did… things related to their field of activity that weren’t a legitimate part of their work. I.e. the guy might have been attracted to his area of study because of his perversity (but went beyond it when his academic work disappointed him with its… limits).
Surely he could find a better one than inspecting crawlspaces? Oh, you meant… never mind
The police have some potential witnesses they’d like to question but so far they aren’t talking.
Since the statute of limitations has probably expired, it’s a mute point.
I blame the cat.
I guess I’ll just stick with a small collection of retro video games.
…I hear trainspotting gets tricky with all that heroin and shit.
Not too far away from my apartment when I was attending UF.
