TOP SECRET

Date: 09/15/2000

Subject: Daily surveillance report

Target: FUD, aka “FUD the Lucky,” aka “HOA FUD,” aka “FUDagator,” aka “Elmer”

Agent: Mike “Skulder” Irwin

Activities:

0530: On station outside subject’s residence.

0610: President of the local Homeowner’s Association out jogging. As HOA president passed subject’s house, he egged it repeatedly.

0713: Subject emerged from home with his lunch sack and proceeded to car parked in driveway.

Midway to car he stopped and issued a “double-bird salute” in the general direction of the home
of the president of his Homeowner’s Association.

Subject was observed with a large bulge on his right side near proximity of his hip. It is likely that the subject maintains his practice of carrying a concealed weapon. God help us all.

0715: Subject slammed his left hand and right foot in car door while attempting to enter the automobile. I could hear subject cursing from across the street.

0716: Subject exited the driveway, forgetting the lunch he had placed on top of his automobile.

Mrs. FUD makes a mean meatloaf and cheese sandwich. The container of stewed prunes was
discarded.

0748: Subject arrived at his office. Judging by the fact that he was cursing loudly enough for me
to hear him from 12 parking spaces away, it was obvious he missed his lunch. I belched, and made a mental note to, once the surveillance is completed, obtain Mrs. FUD’s meatloaf recipe.

0749: Subject slammed his tie in his car door and nearly decapitated himself when he tried to walk away.

0750: Subject made it to the front door of his office with no further incident, unless you consider accidently locking his briefcase in the newspaper dispenser an incident. God help us all.

1148: Subject emerged from his office. It was obvious that he had not been having a good day.

His tie was shredded, his left eye was blackened, and his eyebrows appeared to be missing.

(Note: A later interview with coworkers revealed the nature of these injuries.

Tie: Subject accidentally caught tie in paper shredder.

Blackened eye: Subject’s desk lamp, suddenly and in an unexplained fashion, swung and struck him.

Eyebrows: Subject apparently overheated a “Pop Tart” in the microwave, and upon opening the door was struck with hot filling that removed said eyebrows.

Coworker’s unanimous verdict? God help us all.)

I can barely type I'm laughing so hard. And I can't decide which is funnier, the report from our operative in the field, or the photograph.

No, I don't shave with them. I always secure the swords first thing in the morning even before I shower & shave because they are razor sharp and I'm afraid that the little one might get her hands on them and accidently cut herself.

Why the swords? Simple & short answer ... possible snakes -- a razor sharp sword (or two) is more effective than a gun and inside the house it is more practical to chop it than to shoot it. Regards, FUD.

Mike - that was one of the best laughs I've had in weeks!

FUD has swords in his home? God help us all!

Now I know where the furniture stores get all their "distressed" furniture. It's come from FUD's house as he goes for the occasional snake. You know, the ones that go bump in the night.

Oh man.. at the rate these posts are going, I'd have to stay up all night to get a good laugh. I don't think this can wait until I make it into the office each morning!

FUD should be the "poster child" for TFL. When are the next round of T-shirts printed?

'Horror movie' scenes as berserk kangaroo terrorises family

A kangaroo smashed through a glass front door and terrorised a Northern Territory family during a three-hour rampage through their home.

Jabiru resident Mr Dean Khan armed himself with an empty bourbon bottle to take on what he assumed was a human home invader when he was woken by the crash of shattered glass shortly after midnight on Tuesday, police said. The 1.7-metre kangaroo, cut and bleeding, then bounded through the mining town house and over an 11-year-old boy - one of five children in the house.

Unable to get the crazed animal out, the children's mother, Ms Lisa Miller, called police.

One of the two officers who attended, Senior Constable Alistair Taylor, said the house looked like the set of a horror movie.

"There was blood and broken glass everywhere, blood all over the child's bed and up the walls, and a puppy was cowering terrified in a corner," he said.

Constable Taylor and Constable Tim Perry spent the next two hours trying to coax the wounded animal, which they suspected may have been chased into town by dingoes, out of the house.

"It was hissing at us, rearing up at us boxing-like with its front paws," Constable Taylor said.

The ordeal ended when police roped and hogtied the animal and bustled it into a police car. The kangaroo was later destroyed.

Does are beloved FUD's initials mean "F....in Up Daily"?
I wouldn't get too close on those surveilance runs there Mike.
After seeing the picture of our hero with swords I'm more concerned for the gators, snakes and neighbors than the big guy himself.
Ya'll keep it comin ya hear!

Apple, my eye! That's a concealed / camouflaged grenade. The smiley face is a claymore.

FUD,

What kind of holster is she using? I can't see where she's carrying her .25 ACP.

Nice swords, by the way. Which one for snakes, which one for gators and which for the BATF?

God help us all,

Ledbetter
