#1 The version I read mentioned that Wanita was afraid it might have been one of several neighbors she had been having problems with. What a surprise.

The girls will be OK - they refused to talk to reporters after the verdict because they were afraid they might say something unkind. We'll cover that for them here.

#2 Giving cookies to an old woman? Is there no shame anymore? At least the little delinquents didn't say "Ni!".

Maybe instead of paying the nine bills, they just could buy her a shrubbery.

#3 Wanita betteer be on the look out every night, now. Her trees would be growing toilet paper at a prodigious rate if I were still 14.

#4 Free cookies, oh the horror!

La Plata County Court Judge Doug Walker should be tossed out on his ass next election cycle, the wanking moron.

If I had my way, Wanita Young would be heavily sedated, wrapped in swaddling clothes, placed in a big basket, taken to a Blue State, set on the front step of a large Psychiatric Hospital late at night... then ring the doorbell and run. She'd fit right in. She doesn't deserve neighbors who do such nice things - and neither does the "judge". Take the cost of the shuffle out of Walker's salary.

Unfreakingbelievable.

#5 I'm gonna play devil's advocate here, 'cause I could go both ways on this.

First, 10:30 is ridiculously late to be out delivering cookies. They banged on the door and when the women asked who was there, they ran off. al-Reuters doesn't mention it, but the Denver Post article mentions that there were "neighbors she had tangled with in the past". Doesn't say what it was about, but it was on her mind. And I don't know about you, but if I find anonymously-left food on my doorstep it goes straight to the trash. If you don't know who it's from, it could just as easily be some lesser child playing a "prank" -- or worse.

Finally, and this is just my opinion, but teen-age girls are the single most annoying form of life on the planet. It sounds like these two got so caught up with their own cuteness that they didn't stop to think that maybe delivering anonymous food at night in a rural area to people they obviously don't know very well might not go over very well. Maybe $900 is excessive, but perhaps this is a person with health problems and no insurance who would have had to eat the cost just so these girls could have a lark.

#7 The sad thing is, if they would have been TP'ing the house, they probably would have gotten off with a smaller fine.
10:30 isn't so late if they started making cookies that evening. (You need time for the batches to cool, ya know.) It's not like they were out at 3 in the morning blasting gangsta rap.

#8 I do think the judge did what he had to, but Wanita sure looks like a witch. I still say we TP her tomorrow night. See you at 9:30

#11 I never did that one. What does it do, besides make the grass greasy?

#12 Well what ever you spell in motor oil will be nice and dead and there for a long time.

#14 I put about 20 red highway flares on sticks on a friend's parent's house on Halloween. We lined them up on the porch, driveway, and curb on their property at the end of a cul-de-sac. My friend and I each lit a flare, then lit 10 ea with the pilot flare. We were wearing black clothing and hats. We went back about 200' and admired our handiwork. The whole end of the street glowed red, but instead of christmas lights, we had red flares and smoke rising up. It was Hell Lite. Very satisfying. Nobody hurt, everyone freaked. A terrible beauty.
