On this day, we pause to remember the victims of the horrendous attack on 9/11. But, we must also move on in one way or another.
Tonight, as a bit of diversion perhaps, let’s look at some offbeat news items.

tonight’s feature presentation: Things You Can’t Do Naked
The following items can be found on Huffington Post on a page titled Things You Can’t Do Naked. A few highlights (they have more on that page):
Riverdance
Jillian Henry was having a friend take some photos of her to commemorate her senior year of high school. They were using the Willamette River in Oregon as a backdrop. A naked man wandered out of the forest into the river, along with his dog. The photos went viral.
The man is not visible in the cropped photos below, but you can click through to find the full unedited photos, if you are so inclined.
Price Check on Weiners
Christian Fisher allegedly placed his penis onto the self-checkout scanner at a Quality Food Center in Seattle. When a security guard walked over to investigate, Fisher made no attempt to hide what he was doing. He laughed at the time, but left and came back to the store a few hours later. Staff threatened Fisher with pepper spray after he got into a physical altercation, and he left again.
Police arrested and charged him with indecent exposure and assault, after he was found sleeping a block away from the store.
Sausage on the Side
Bashir Rasheed was charged with public indecency after trying to enter a Waffle House naked, in Sandy Springs, GA. The man appeared to be barely (no pun intended) coherent during the episode, in which he allegedly stroked himself, and pressed his genitals against the restaurant’s glass door. A staff member called 911:
“This is the Waffle House. A gentleman just got out of his car and is naked standing in front of my door. He just peed on my door and now he’s walking inside. ‘Sir, you cannot come in here.’”
Customer Derwin Rodgers was trying to eat his vittles (it’s right there in the HuffPo article) when this all went down. He recorded a portion of it, which went viral. You can view a censored version of the video at the link above.

From HedwigKos:
In Chris Reeves’s excellent diary “Are Some of Trump’s Supporters Deplorable? My Own Experience”, both the diary and the comments are well worth reading. In particular, StellaRay leads off a comment thread with this comment, and the discussion that most caught my attention proceeds from there. Great stuff!
From Dragon5616:
A Top Comment from Top Comments! In my “Top Comments: Word Salad” diary last night, BeninSC had an outstanding summary of how to interpret the things Trump says.
From ZenTrainer:
Very interesting comment here from PSWaterspirit in David Kahl’s diary “It Ain’t ‘Portlandia’. And You Don’t Want To Move Here”. I guess the upside of my being poor is that I have survival skills. Good to know!
From BeninSC:
I am submitting this fine first Daily Kos comment by auntietee. It quite deftly skewers Paul Ryan for his bigotry and hypocrisy, in Barbara Morrill’s equally fine FP diary “Paul Ryan is finally outraged...that Clinton called out racism and bigotry” doing the same.
From BeninSC:
I am also submitting this comment from first-time Daily Kos commenter, ihaveopinions, because of a story told about a horrific family experience with law enforcement. The comment has received little readership thus far because it came in a diary Thandisizwe Chimurenga posted on Wednesday, “When calling for help goes horribly wrong”, about law enforcement encounters that went terribly wrong when people tried to obtain HELP. Please show this new member some sympathy and support.
