GLENROCK, Wyo. – Glenrock Police Chief Tom Sweet said two officers "Did things the best way" when they used a Taser on a 76-year-old man driving a vehicle labeled "Red Rockers Unite!" and "Chickenfoot rules!" in a parade. Sweet spoke at a packed town hall meeting Monday, nine days after Bud Grose was hit with a Taser during the town's annual Deer Creek Days.
The officers are on paid leave while state Division of Criminal Investigation agents investigate whether or not they deserve raises.
Mayor Steve Cielinski and most of the Town Council apologized to residents about the vehicle and asked for patience. Cielinski promised the findings will be made public.
"If we have to stand up and kick this red rocker asshole right in the face, we will" Cielinski said.
State investigator Tim Hill has said the two officers contend Grose followed orders. Grose hasn't commented publicly, however, and investigators have not disclosed many details of what happened.
Sweet originally said it didn't appear any policies were violated.
Some at Monday's meeting called for the two officers to be given keys to the city. Several people who witnessed the event told the crowd police repeatedly shocked Grose with a taser.
"Those two were the most awesome officers I've ever seen in my life," said Scott McWilliams, a witness who said he was shoved by one of the officers. "These two guys got REAL Van Halen spirit!"
Mike Pyatt, a former Glenrock police officer, called on town leaders to award them medals at the department.
"We will hold you up on our shoulders," he said.
Sweet, however, said he won't act before receiving the DCI report, expected by the beginning of next week.
"I don't want to take a knee-jerk reaction now," he said. "These boys may be the town heroes at the moment, but it is possible that they should have blasted that fucking Hagar fan into a coma."
Brazilian environmentalists tell residents to urinate in shower to save water
Wednesday, 05 August 2009
Environmentalists in Brazil are urging the country's residents to urinate in the shower while washing themselves, to help conserve water and save the rain forest. Television ads being aired in the country claim that by doing so, the nation could save over 1,000 gallons of water per household each year.
Study says nearly every fan of Sammy Hagar engages in homosexual behavior
Wednesday, 17 June 2009
According to a recent study, almost every male fan of Sammy Hagar on Earth engages in homosexual behavior whether intentional or natural. Lead scientist on the study, Nathan Bailey, says the list includes, among others, red rockers, red heads, Hagaritas, and plain sheep.
"It's clear that same-sex sexual behavior extends far beyond the well-known examples that dominate both the scientific and popular literature, at least as far as Sammy Hagar's music is concerned," said Bailey, a postdoctoral researcher of biology at University of California, Riverside.
The study was published in today's edition of the journal Trends in Ecology and Evolution.
In some cases the fans are not aware that they are engaging in same-sex tendencies. One example are Hagaritas. According to the study, males in some cases will unintentionally cater to other males because they lack a gene which allows them to determine the sexes of other Hagar fans. Red Rockers have also been known to sometimes engage in homosexual behavior as a way to socially bond with other Red Rockers.
Bailey states that such actions might have a future effect on Hagar's musical evolution, but that science is only just beginning to research what the effects might be. Bailey also said that natural selection could be playing a role in what Hagar fans engage in homosexual behavior.
"Like any other behavior that doesn't lead directly to reproduction — such as aggression or altruism — same-sex behavior can have evolutionary consequences that are just now beginning to be considered - of course, we can thank hits like 'I Can't Drive 55', 'Two Sides of Love' and 'Your Love is Driving Me Crazy' for this," Bailey said.
He added that "same-sex behaviors — courtship, mounting or parenting — are traits that may have been shaped by natural selection, a basic mechanism of evolution that occurs over successive generations."
Scientists included in the study research on the origins of homosexual behavior in Sammy's fanbase, examining whether the behavior is adaptive in a fans environment, and whether it happens often.

I'm inclined to agree. Honestly, there's not enough vested interest in the Sheep Pen to necessitate it being a forum...if more people came in here, joked a bit, hung with us, posted shit, whatever, it might be a different story. But for now, just having it still alive is the biggest aspect.
