Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

I have a story about a neighbor who was arrested (then committed) for playing bagpipes naked in the middle of the night on a public road. Turns out he had some... issues...
Just curious,...which did they make the case for institutionalizing him on, public nudity or the choice of instrument? :rollno:
 
Fortunately he wasn't part of the video game.

IME with family members, jail should not be the mental health facility of last resort.

Agreed, this was a long time ago. I don't know where he ultimately ended up.

Was he arrested for public nudity or for playing bagpipes? Public nudity is one thing. Bagpipes played well can be kinda cool, but bagpipes played poorly is, well, criminal.

I think there was alcohol and combative behavior involved...
 
Those 4K TV's are pretty nifty. I was looking at a Samsung 58" LED UHD TV set at Walmart this past weekend, it was under $1K. I can't belive how much less they are priced than the last one that I bought. There are wide curved ones that are proportionally not that high that make good computer monitors if you have lots of windows open at once. For CAD type work, a regular flat screen works better. What's nice about the LED screens is that you can get close and still see clearly.

Never played a game on a computer, other than pong.

They outlawed public nudity? No wonder Iggy Pop quit touring.

Ya know how he almost always performed shirtless and was really lean. I saw a recording of a fairly recent performance at some festival and he was shirtless and lean as always, but now even he is starting to sag and bag and he looked like a skinny, saggy 70 year old.
We should invite him to join us.

As for public nudity y’all have to remember that beneath our clothes we are all completely naked!!! That is a bare fact. :)

Hey, speak for yourself! I have tattoos.

My father-in-law is visiting and wanted to play solitaire. Before I could whip out the tablet, my wife had produced an old deck of cards missing the Queen of spades. I drew one on the bridge rules card.
And I'm guessing that the fix for the on-line solitaire game in the event of a card missing from the screen would have taken a lot more effort to correct. ;)
