Has it really been 11 years? *edit* Just found this: http://www.efluxmedia.com/news_Police_Arrest_Man_Armed_with_Sword_and_Shotgu n_Outside_Capitol_13013.html A newer example and perhaps an instant-classic? |

But the City would have its way. After nearly half a day unbudged from his sidewalk post, steadfast Apollo was finally brought down using a two-pronged tactic of cold water sprayed with firehoses and prolonged exposure to a large fan -- designed, after consultation with medical experts, to weaken his muscle control through hypothermia -- followed by a rush to pin his body with a 12-foot ladder and his sword arm with a pole. Even with these extreme measures he showed nigh-Rasputinesque levels of resilience: the high-pressure hoses were only able to knock him down temporarily and it took nearly three minutes to finally wrest the sword from his pinned hand. Sweet! But, IIRC, and please, please correct me if I'm wrong, but in the land of Oz, they had a Highlander wannabe who the cops took down with dogs? Personally, I think that trumps water and fans...
Hmm, Apollo, maybe an angry BSG fan, pushing the return of the show? If he'd only waited another decade or so.... -Charles |
