Go Betweens!

The Go-Betweens are on Fresh Air right now! If you haven't already been listening, I would just download it today or tomorrow after 3:00 when it becomes available, because you already missed about 15 minutes of it.

There was a report of three armed robberies in the Bee today. The victims were all women and they occurred downtown, one of them at 14th and Q. The Bee said that two of the women were in their cars, I guess maybe they were getting in them to leave somewhere and the guy came up with a gun. So I guess just watch out for lurking guys.

My neighbor works in downtown and told me that yesterday the cops came by to warn the women about this. Apparently it happens in the evening or nighttime around 21st and N. He's apparently asks for jewelry and purses. As a muggee, I say carry a purse to give to him. . . and anything important in your pockets. When my friends and I were mugged, the guy spent like 2 minutes on the girl who wasn't carrying a purse - a REALLY long time to have a gun pointed in your face.

what if we all started carrying a decoy purse with a couple of bucks and some fake ids in it, and then put the rest of our real stuff in our pockets! then most of our stuff would be intact and it most likely wouldn't get us shot! or we could make fake pregnant bellies and store our jewels and valuables inside! or maybe the fucking cops could just capture ONE of the many robbers roaming around midtown/dowtown as a deterrent to the others. nah.

In the fake purse carry a remote controlled explosive device and blow up the perp after he runs off. This 'bomb purse' might give you trouble getting into the post office or capital, though. Its still worth it to blow stuff up.

i like the idea of the pregnant belly. but i think instead of storing your stuff in it you should carry around a fake two-headed demon baby. then you can pretend to give birth to it while he's rummaging through your purse and scream something about the spawn of satan seeking revenge. that would probably freak his shit out and he'd leave you alone.
