Truly News Of The Weird

Generally when the name Walmart is evoked, the subsequent story is weird, bizarre, or just downright surreal.  And so it is.  I encountered this story this morning while reading through recent Facebook posts.  My music colleague Brian in Rhode Island had found this report.  Strange to the Walmart'th degree, the tale involves a bit of Walton porcelain, or rather the plastic seat atop said porcelain.

Now for the elephant in the room. First, shame on the silly school boy who applied gorilla glue to the crapper seat -- but, as an Old Boy myself, I must offer the clever rogue the applicable kudos for not getting caught.  Second, who in his right mind, regardless how dire the situation, should ever have even the most remote scintilla of a fleeting notion actually to sit on a public toilet seat?  I anticipate seeing a version of this 911 call and the victim's delivery to a local emergy room on an upcoming episode of Grey's Anatomy.
