Batman crashes party, swipes slice of birthday cake

[Maxie Zeus]

Not fit for the news page, but amusing nevertheless:


A 6-foot-tall, 275-pound bearded man crashed a children's birthday party in Oak Forest, identified himself as "vengeance," then helped himself to a piece of cake, police said.

The incident occurred earlier this month at a home in the 14800 block of South Landings Lane in the south suburb, Deputy Police Chief Nick Sparacino said.

When the owner of the home asked the man who he was, the intruder replied, "I am vengeance. I am the knight. I am Batman." Then the man went into the kitchen, cut a piece of birthday cake, took it into the living room and ate it.

After continued questioning by the homeowner, the man left the house and drove off in a red 1988 Cadillac.

Police haven't found the man yet and want to charge him with criminal trespass.

"I've been on the job 31 years and I've seen a lot of weird stuff, but nothing like this," Sparacino said.

For effect, I'd have probably taken a very different approach...

In other words, dangling one of the kids from the edge of the roof until he confesses to stealing little Jimmy's pocket money.Tough Justice :)

ROFL

Really should be 'I am the night' with no k, they dropped the ball there.

[Somejerk]

I find myself Jealous, that I did not think of this frist. Now I will just seem like an imitator.

Howdy,

There must be something going around, then. Courtesy of The Beat (http://www.comicon.com/thebeat/archives/2004/08/superman_crime_1.html), I found this on the AP Newswire:


Superman might be faster than a speeding bullet and able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, but he was no match for St. Paul police officers.

John Fillah of St. Cloud, who has spent about five years dressing up as Superman at the Minnesota State Fair, was in full costume across from the fairgrounds' main entrance on Friday when he clashed with police.

"He seemed to be a pretty mild-mannered guy, but when his feathers got ruffled he turned into Superman," said Mark Erickson, who witnessed the event.
Read the rest (http://wcco.com/localnews/local_story_241182607.html). I say Lex Luthor's behind it all, with Gorilla Grodd's mind control running a close second.

This is....disturbing and amusing at the same time. I guess that would make it disturbingly amusing. But yeah anyway......who barges into a kids birthday party and eats a piece of cake? That's just wierd.

*hides his Batgirl costume for entirely different reasons..*

Hmm, I'm surprised we don't get more weird people like this. I like the way he finished off the entire event by leaping into a nice unBatman like red Cadillac. Nice to see that despite having a car description and witnesses, police still can't find the guy... just like in Gotham...

[ArtificialIdiot]

True. All we ever get is "Fathers4Justice" climbing to the top of tall buildings in VERY dodgey looking costumes.. damn you americans! You make that sound boring by comparison (not like it already wasn't, but that's beside the point.)

:p

Well, obviously it was wrong of that guy to break into someone's house, (For cake? What a freak.) but like many of you, I can't help but find this amusing.
