An old man tried to walk out on his tab at an establishment downtown. A waiter grabbed him and said that he couldn’t leave until he paid. Madness ensued with the old man attacking the waiter with his cane and the waiter tackling the old man.
Cops came in to sort it all out. Not sure who was in the wrong. Obviously you have to pay your tab, but I’m not sure form tackling local geriatrics is the best way to end a dispute either.
word on the street is that old man walked out on his bill at henry’s, waiter followed, old man swung his cane at waiter, waiter tackled old man and pinned him on the ground yelling for someone to get the cops
@10 That Harding is one grumble old thing. I disagreed with her once and she just about yelled at me to “get the hell off her lawn” (or it might have been you can always write a letter ).
Yeah that’s right send me your nasty email- BRING IT ON!
Wait, wait… Isn’t Henry’s the joint under Vita Nova? That’s waaaayy up the mall from the C-VILLE offices. Does this mean that there was a long (slow?) chase down the mall?
Yeah, it’s true, an old homeless man tried to walk on a bill from Henry’s ….and he cursed the waiter and told him he wasn’t going to pay, he swung his cane at the server and hit him in the head with an elbow…That would be why he was pinned to the ground and detained for the cops. Lucky, he was an old guy…or he’d have left in an ambulance. Pay for your food at Henry’s…you will not get away!
I heard they were looking for me, so I hired a body double to go sit on the mall all day. Looks like it worked.
From what I hear:

You can’t make this stuff up.

if you DID make this stuff up, i’m laughing. if not, as you said you can’t, i have a serious expression on my face, seriously….
I heard they were busting up the C-ville offices for putting out a criminally lame paper each week.
oh snap
@4 I take my old man tackling stories very seriously
@5 ZZIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The one place with grow-ups on the wait staff and they act like punk kids!
grown-ups
You have to put it in all caps :C-VILLE. You are so getting an angry email from Cathy Harding now.
@10 That Harding is one grumble old thing. I disagreed with her once and she just about yelled at me to “get the hell off her lawn” (or it might have been you can always write a letter ).
Yeah that’s right send me your nasty email- BRING IT ON!
shenanigans, I think you mean E-VILLE.
Be nice, people.
Like E-NICE?
yup
C-VILLE started it! They are not nice. Do unto others before they would do unto you.
Wait, wait… Isn’t Henry’s the joint under Vita Nova? That’s waaaayy up the mall from the C-VILLE offices. Does this mean that there was a long (slow?) chase down the mall?
@17 I think they moved their office down there

I I like how they filed the article under “Bullshit, Dining, Time Waster”
“crane-swinging”? C-VILLE’s trying to say this old dude swung the CRANE at a waiter? Holy shit!
Haha they changed it.
I saw it too.
I still have it in my browser.. you guys want a screenshot?
Doowit!
Do they often file stories under “Bullshit”?
Why not?
This is the search for everything tagged with bullshit:

C-VILLE’s Bullshit Stories
I was more curious if they filed all of their articles under ‘time waster’.
Oh man, reporting the news is such bullshit. What a waste of time. Let’s just make the Rant 24 pages next week.
@29 that list looks very incomplete to me
I probably shlould have just gone to the full archives.
Still on the main site:

Lulu, I’ve copyrighted red pen on screenshots!
Oh, it wasn’t a pen… I used my computer to draw those on.
The evil Scowly has killed Lulu for trying to usurp Thor’s mighty RedPenOfDoom™.
Dang… I forgot about the image thing

give the old man a break. how could anyone be expected to pay for a meal at Henry’s?
That’s why we have a homeless problem now…everybody gives them a break…and for what?
It was $13 dollars. Why would you tackle an old dude for thirteen measly dollars? dOUCHE!
@ 43… You eTackled Silmo for twelve a couple threads back.
Pshhh. That was nuthin’.
I’ll show you an eTACKLE
Oh, forget it. I’m too bloated. E-raincheck.
