Enter Sandman

sandman03.jpgHere's a bizarre story to say the least...

A man was found buried to death by sand on Ocean Beach this morning. Apparently, he was sleeping on the beach and, well, we actually have no idea how this happened, it's all so James Bond-ian. You know, like there's a villain out there, Sandfinger.

Somebody was walking on the beach this morning and saw the hand sticking out of the sand and notified the cops. The cops came and dug him up and took him away. The man is said to be in his 40's and 50's but not much else is known. Homeless people occasionally sleep there but it's not known if he was homeless. Speculation is that with all the wind and rain, the sand shifts around a whole bunch more than normal, but still, this is pretty weird.

Yeah, it's weird, but still, the dude died. Can we tone down the irreverence a bit?

 

I hate to roll in and get all PC up on yr ass. But could we try not to make fun of dead possibly homeless people? Snotty quips like the title and the "Sandfinger" thing are 1.) not respectful and 2.) not funny. If you are going to be disrespectful, at least be fucking hilarious. Not funny doesn't cut it.

Have a great day!

 

Hey people lighten up. Or lite up.Or something.
