Doggedly searching for the crux of the biscuit.
Is there anything duct tape isn't good for?
Police say Kasey Kazee walked in to the store with duct tape wrapped around his head to conceal his face. Fortunately, store manager Bill Steele had some duct tape of his own. Steel had a wooden club wrapped with duct tape that eventually sent the suspect fleeing the store. Store employee Craig Miller says he chased Kazee to the parking lot, tackled him and held him in a choke position until police arrived. An unidentified customer also helped.
Kazee said in a jailhouse interview today police got the wrong man and Kazee says he has no memory of going in to the liquor store. He also says he has no memory of police removing the duct tape. We asked Kazee how he could deny being the duct tape bandit even though police have photos showing Kazee with the duct tape on and then a photo where Kazee's face is revealed.
Kazee looked straight at the camera and said, "Do I look like the duct tape bandit to you?"
Miller says Kazee also had a t-shirt pulled up around his head during the robbery attempt. Miller says it reminded him of the "Cornholio" character from the "Beavis and Butthead" cartoon.
Oh yes, you know there are pictures and video (which must be watched for the interview with the suspect) at the link. Also, Kasey Kazee is a great name.
I'm not sure what duct tape can't be used for, but I loved the object lesson in denial. It starts small, but carries all the way up through Iraq pundits to Bush and Cheney.
It's a byproduct of our evolution that is one of God's enduring jokes on mankind.

You're regretting choosing "Noah", aren't you?

Posted by: inshane at August 14, 2007 09:18 AMThe video is priceless. Also, according to google news, this article marks just the second time Cornholio was used in a news posting (the other being the nickname of a Cornhole tossing player).

1. heating and AC ducts
2. protecting your face from assault with a wooden club with duct tape on the tip
Posted by: Joel at August 14, 2007 08:07 PMHere in Seattle there's a local character who walks around with his head wrapped in duct tape AND has a plastic bag taped over his mouth (just draped over it, he's not breathing into the bag). He also has an old Honda he drives which I have dubbed the Duct-Tape-Mobile. My friend thinks that he might be a serial killer. I think he's scared of anthrax.

Um, so I've heard.
