The Lo Zone

A groovy place in cyberspace run by author Lolita Files. Come on in. Bring some Pepsi.

 
Lo Fun Fact #1
"Lolita Files" is my real name. It is not a pen name, as incredible as that may seem. There are plenty of Files family members and people who have known me for years capable of validating this. As for the "Lolita" part, my mother named me after the movie based on Nabokov's book, although she saw or read neither. To this day, she has no idea what a "Lolita" is.
Lo Fun Fact #2
I love fried chicken and fabulous shoes. If you ever want to get on my good side, send Popeye's or Mr. Chicken (my favorite spot in Cleveland) and a pair of Christian Louboutins.
Lo Fun Fact #3
Never show up unannounced or without a Pepsi (preferably Pepsi Jazz Caramel Cream). Better yet, how about not show up at all?
Lo Fun Fact #4
I hate the telephone. Don't get mad if I don't call you. I don't call anyone. Don't call me asking why I don't call. Just don't call, okay?
Lo Fun Fact #5
I love the internet!!! I love communicating through the internet!!! You can e-mail me and odds are I'll e-mail you right back (if I'm not in the middle of a major project). Makes up for my hangup about the phone, doesn't it? See, I'm not so bad after all!!!
Lo Fun Fact #6
I can't stand IMing. Please don't IM me. You will get the cold shoulder. I don't like giving people the cold shoulder, so please don't put me in that position.
Lo Fun Fact #7
I have four five six wonderful, slap-happy dogs, a bird (some kind of dove/pigeon mix), and a cat, all of whom I love to pieces. If you meet me and ask me about my dogs, bird, and cat, we'll be instant friends. If you meet me and ask me why the f*ck I have four five six dogs, a bird, and a cat, see the above fun fact for how I will respond.
In Favor Of A Knifeless Kitchen, A Home With No Phones...And A Divorce.
Tuesday, October 31, 2006
A judge denied bail Sunday for a South Side father of five accused of repeatedly stabbing his wife after discovering she was talking to another man on the telephone.

James Rodgers, 47, of the 8000 block of South Dobson Avenue was charged with attempted first-degree murder. He is accused of dragging his wife by the neck to their kitchen Thursday night and stabbing her with a steak knife until the knife broke. Rodgers continued to stab her with a butcher knife, hit her in the head and strangled choked her, Cook County Assistant State's Atty. Karin Swanson said Sunday in Cook County Bond Court.

When their 3-year-old son walked in, Rodgers pushed him away and ordered the boy back to his room, prosecutors said. The woman was stabbed 15 times, including in her shoulder, breasts, neck and abdomen, Swanson said. She was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in serious condition and underwent emergency surgery.

A witness who was unable to stop the attack called police, and Rodgers surrendered when authorities arrived, Swanson said. According to court records, he did not remember how he got the knife but told police, "I stabbed her because I was angry with her."
Oh. Well that explains everything. He was "angry." Who are these entitled, insecure nuts?

    hmmmm...sounds like more than meets the eye with this story.

    "after discovering she was talking to another man on the telephone."

    interesting, sounded like she was "creepin' on the down low" and he couldn't take it anymore!!!!

    You know the act of stabbing someone is a very up close and personal crime. You can shoot from across the room but a steak knife requires you to be bery bery close. I have a hard time gutting a fish or cutting up chicken so I know unless I lost it I would have a very hard time stabbing someone.

    Violence is never justified (understandable, but not justified) and especially when a child is involved. I tihnk even if I had lost it when the child walked in that would have brought me back but then again, when I say "hang up the G.D. phone" I usually get compliance.

    Like Lo said, this guy is an entitled, insecure nut with mad issues, but...what was his wife doing talking on the phone to another guy while the husband was at home? Every woman knows that you only talk to your boyfriend when your husband is at work!!

    LOL, Lance. You always make me laugh.
    But seriously, Juan G--were you kidding about saying 'hang up the G.D. phone...'? Because that was kind of scary.

    Rule #356 always keep voice mail instead of an anwsering machine. The voice mail is only something you can listen to within your phone system. You never want to listen to the "i miss you, baby" messages from ya other "victims" when you just came home from a date with your current conquest.

    I think the point of the story is more that you need a good, strong Ginsu type knife when going apeshit on your wife. Damn thing broke after a few slices! I'd ask for my money back.

    Rule #78
    Never tell a man/woman exactly what you want in the opposite sex. They will imitate what what you said only for you to realize that ain't really what you want.

    Rule #1 (ladies only)

    never mention the name "lance" during a sexual episode with him/or her (woo-hoo!!!)

    acceptable places:
    work (when your backbone slips)

    church (when, you've just had a flashback) gud lawd!!!!!

    anything related to north carolina: remember moi!!!

    while drinkin' a pepsi: nuthin' like an ice cold one after an "episode"...and maybe a cigarette!

    The pimpalicious play book isn't allowed in matrimony. It's got to be all heart up in there or it just won't work out right.
