An Answer To The Crushed Tomatoes Question

Out of a twinge of sympathy from our withered-up blogger heart, we've been trying to leave poor planning dept. chief John Rahaim's bed-burning boyfriend Lance Farber (mugshot) alone (we had a YouTube clip of a Midnight Oil song all cued up and ready to go for our post, and then we felt too bad to do it) -- but we will pass along the tidbit from yesterday's Matier and Ross column, which explains:

As for the mystery of why Farber also allegedly tossed crushed tomatoes on the [historic ceremonial fire] house's floors and walls?

We're told he was drunk at the time and trying to make soup. He couldn't open the can of crushed tomatoes, so he punched a bunch of holes in it.

Then he got mad and tossed the can through the house, spraying crushed tomatoes all over the place.
