"a victory for art"
Marilyn Manson pleads no contest to charges
Shock rocker Marilyn Manson, who was charged with sexual misconduct for allegedly gyrating against a security guard at a concert, pleaded no contest Wednesday to being a disorderly person and assault and battery.
Clarkston District Judge Gerald McNally ordered Manson, whose name is Brian Warner, to pay fines and costs totaling $4,000. A no contest plea is not an admission of guilt.
Afterward, Manson said the ruling was fair, adding, "It's a victory for art."
Security guard Joshua Keasler was working on the stage during Manson's July 30, 2001 performance at the DTE Energy Music Theatre when Manson allegedly rubbed his genitals against his neck.
[...] Keasler also has filed a federal lawsuit against the 33-year-old rocker, accusing him of sexual assault and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
whither the mechanoses?
Dammit.
Microwaves and toasters should have a sense of smell.
The toaster should know that my bagel is starting to burn, and the microwave should know that the popcorn is done. For the popcorn case, it could actually just listen for the frequency of pops.
But I really like the word "mechanoses."
shoot me now
I just went into the kitchen and I realized that I was slouching and stumbling around flat-footed just like Ozzy does. I suppose it could be worse, I could also be muttering incoherently at a little yappy-dog.
Do the keys on your keyboard still have ink on them? Most of them wear off of any keyboard I use regularly after about a month. This is upsetting to any non-touch-typists who follow.
