I went a little deep on the whole "troll" thing, so when I saw this story today from nearby (and wacko) Boulder, I just had to post it. Particularly after a friend noted the connection with my posts, my blog title, and my geography.
Original link is here, but I just cut and pasted the sucker as it's too funny to make you click through...
Trolls On The Bridge!
Just a day after the public anguish surrounding the appearance (and subsequent arrests) of disrobed cyclists on World Naked Bike Day, Boulder has a new crisis on its hands: bridge trolls.
Fueled by a couple of tabs of LSD and brandishing broken golf clubs, 19-year-old Robert Hibbs, of Boulder, installed himself on the pedestrian bridge over Foothills Parkway and started demanding a dollar from each pedestrian and biker attempting to cross. When the police showed up, as they invariably do in such situations, Hibbs called himself a troll and insisted that he owned the bridge, according to Jeff Thomas, writing for YourHub.
According to Hibbs' fellow-troll Bradley Boville, the decision to commandeer the bridge arose from a dilemma we all find ourselves in from time to time: "The two had rolled a big joint," Thomas reported, "and found themselves without either a lighter or a dollar with which to buy a lighter."
