Area Man has complete Prison Survival Strategy mapped out
27 March 2002
SANDY SPRINGS, GA?Josh Kroll, 32, an Atlanta-area database administrator, has his complete prison-survival strategy mapped out in the unlikely event that he is ever jailed.
"You never know what life is going to bring," said Kroll, whose lone brush with the law was a 1994 speeding ticket. "I could find someone sleeping with my wife and, in a psychotic state of shock, kill him. Or I could accidentally hit somebody with my car and then flee the scene in panic. Or I could forget to report some major source of income and get nailed for tax evasion. It's not inconceivable. There's nothing wrong with thinking ahead."
Kroll said he has worked through many possible strategies for prison survival.
"If I'm in a maximum-security prison, I need to figure out who's important and who's not," Kroll said. "There's always the possibility I'm going to have to be somebody's bitch, so if that happened, I'd want to be with somebody who'd protect me. But I might be able to avoid all that because I was pre-law as an undergrad and could be useful to the other prisoners for legal advice."
Kroll, who has never been inside a prison, said he has relied heavily on prison-themed movies and TV shows in his effort to develop a game plan.
"Based on what I've seen on Oz, I'd probably want to steer clear of the weight room," Kroll said. "That's where most of the bullies hang out, plus there's no shortage of blunt weapons lying around. And if at all possible, I'd want to keep away from the kitchen pantry, too. That's where a lot of the stabbings seem to take place on the show?somebody goes in there alone to grab something and gets jumped."
Well aware of the value of having loyal friends on the outside, Kroll has drawn up a mental list of people most likely to stick by him in case of a lengthy prison sentence.
"Unless I was arrested for child molesting, Scott [Havens] would stick by me," Kroll said. "I think Marc [Unger] would, too, but I don't think I could get him to smuggle anything in for me. He'd be too afraid of getting thrown in jail himself."
Kroll said he could not confidently assess the loyalty of his wife in the event of incarceration.
"With things being so rocky lately, Jane just might use prison as a chance to take off and divorce me," Kroll said. "Then again, my imprisonment might be the kind of terrible crisis to bring us closer together. If that's the case, I'm hoping for minimum security so I can get conjugal visits."
Kroll, who has previously drafted survival strategies for getting lost in the mountains, being kidnapped by South American drug lords, and falling into a polar-bear cage at the zoo, said his chances of surviving prison are "good to very good."
"After being released on bail, I would immediately begin my rigorous weight-training and self-defense regimen," Kroll said. "I've even toyed with the idea of locking myself in a closet to get used to solitary confinement. With some books on elementary psychology, I'd probably do pretty well 'in the walls.'"
According to psychologist Dr. Annette Trudeau, plotting out theoretical prison-survival strategies is surprisingly common.
"The human being is an animal with extremely strong self-preservation instincts," Trudeau said. "In this regard, Mr. Kroll's preparatory measures make perfect sense. But while devising emergency plans is understandable, Kroll should realize that no matter how much he prepares, the only thing he can count on in prison is having his creamy white ass churned into butter."
Carolyn,
Please limit how much wine you serve ola in the future.
Thanks!
Ola, you're a tough guy to figure out.
I never said I believed the Dark Star Theory, not did I say I believed the theories of Sitchin.
However, I was attempting to give fodder to the conversation at hand as to whether God exists or not.
(btw....I believe He DOES!)
Things untrue in the past are quite true today!
The world is no longer flat.
Radio waves proven to create global communication.
Pluto exists.
Man has walked on the moon.
These are just a quick thought about how mankind has evolved over the last 500 years or so. Can you predict with any certainty where mankind might be 500 years FROM NOW? Or should we go back to that other question ....
"Do ants have wet dreams"?
They have great backing in the scientific community ola.
No ola. Not the best idea. xxrayeyes has been more than kind here. Remember, as I said before, one should only attack the message, and not the messenger.
Now, why do you think that the Sitchin works and now the Dark Star Theory relate to GOD?
Ebenezer ola,
Lighten up on the Grouch Pills!
Carolyn, how did you get the words Corner Bar posted in COLORS on the favorite boards? I'd like to have The HANGOUT in colors, too.
Thanks.

TODAY'S TOPIC.....
The Dark Star Theory
I spoke the other day about the work of Zecharia Sitchin and his series of books which begin with the one titled The 12th Planet. Ola showed lack of concern for a view that might likely tie all our different views on religion together.
Yet Sitchin's writings have left some people skeptical as to the possibilities of an advanced race of 'gods' from a planet called Marduk being a part of our Solar System and circling the sun in a long odd orbit that takes approximately 3600 years and brings Marduk as close as between Jupiter and Mars as it enters periphillion (sp?) and as far away as ten times further from the sun than Pluto !!!
Now, Andy Lloyd has taken up the task and expounded even further on ancient historical possibilities of the human being's past. He adds possible answers to questions that Zecharia Sitchin, and Carl Sagan have postulated since as early as 1960.
He calls his writings...
THE DARK STAR THEORY !!!

God, and Thoughts of God...
God speaks silently inside us
Whispering words that make us grow.
Who is God, is he beside us?
Something that most want to know.
Is God us, our are we gods?
We have wondered through the ages.
Knowing not the truth at all,
We seek him and remain in 'cages'.
There are no bars twixt God and I
This I know yet wonder why.
God please do explain your path,
Is it more than simple wrath?
Do You withhold yourself from us?
Do You wait for understanding?
Patiently you give no fuss,
You're ever calm and undemanding.
We see You're smile as you wait
Breathing deeply, smiling.
As we enter in your Gate
Mindful. Stepping Slowly. Filing.
Now we're here, it's up to You.
Let us know your wishes.
We do not know what to do.
We are but lost fishes.
Evil still remains
upon a globe of green and blue.
Tell us kindly Father,
"What are we to do?"
God raised his arms wide
at that thought
And shewed me things I'd not knew naught
He spoke of how He'd change it all
Instantly, in just a flash.
He waved His arms and I felt small,
Evil died a sudden crash.
Disease was healed anew,
Many wondered how it so.
Happiness inside us grew,
And now all humans know
That what we never knew before
We now know clear as day.
God had made a plan to save us.
We didn't have to pray.
Like ants inside a lonely hill
we'd wondered who we were.
We proudly woke to all the thrill
And marveled at the cure.
The dreams we'd had whilst human
Were vague at very best.
We now reside in Father's Heaven.
Thankful Ever, for our quest.
(Yes, I am occasionally inspired to write poetry. Not that it is ever the greatest poetry. I just jot it down when I get the 'feeling' to. Totally OT here, but some of you might like it, and others not. To each their own. Godspeed. {And from my serious side.......DUCK.....incoming BALOGNA!})
Hurry! Before Humor ends or we all, as mere MORTALS, simply doze off. Laughter awaits thee.
YES! We must replace CAVIAR with Virus filled maggot infested bread which was baked by the evil chefs from XENU.
YES! That's the ticket!
Lord OLA,
We bequeath an end to your evil carnage. Caviar, not mold. Your blessings humble us forever. You are a true God.
NW, that was a great job of....
'SPAINing yourself'!
hehehehehe!
ola, don't say you didn't say WHAT here???
OT...NW....
Wild fun brewing on the Hangout Board!
Hi excel,
Didn't know you were up this late!
Are you reading the silly antics tonight on the HANGOUT board here?
ola, don't go back to what was said before. It's already been said.
Rumor has it that God likes Burnt Toast.
Good God.

ola, we only light brushed it last night, but I DO beleive that there is something .....or other...... in those writings of Zecharia Sitchin I spoke of which might interest you in a way you'd enjoy.
Don't be bummed ola. I occasionally wreac of comical genius!
LOL!
God loves me for it. (Oooopsssss...sorry ....wrong subject...lol)
Yes, I put the bread in the toaster. It always 'seemed' to feel 'at home' there.
Nope, not a complainer. Therefore the toast must have been burned due to molecularly refabrication on the part of you or a group of aliens from XENU.
I pray a huge eulogy of prayers to the bread as I pay the cashier at the grocery store. Is there a better technique perhaps or is all that is required is a humble "please"?
I'll eat the charcoal, whilst erstwhile recalculating my toothpaste budget.
Nope, toaster can't see my robe. I got rid of my toaster with MIRROR SIDE EYES long ago. I hated wondering where they hid the "Toast Cam"!
Blowing Fuses? Blowing a GOURD here! LOL!
Butter? Salted?
You a lefty or a righty?
(You're cracking me up here!)
ola, excellently stated and well taken post by me at least.
But let's recognize that we all learn things from one another. Through both seriousness and humor.
KAPISHE?
ola, that's not true!
What I SAID before I put the toast in the toaster is, "I want toast!" ( I wanted the same toast I was always accustomed to before scientifically. )
What I DID was put the bread in the toaster same as I always have and I pushed down on the handy little pusher downer thingy on the side.
What I THOUGHT is that the toaster would work as it had ALWAYS HAD since I bought the toaster.
What I FELT was that I'd get a lovely golden brown pair of precious bread treats as I had come so accustomed to in the past.
I didn't manifest my destiny. I didn't even TOUCH the "How burnt do you want it" dial under the handy pusher downer thingy.
I didn't represent myself improperly. I was wearing the SAME ROBE I always wear in the morning.
There was no faulty invocation. I said the VERY SAME "Yumm, Toast" statement I've said for years. And I washed my hands first, too. As always.
There was no unpreparedness. I'd PAID the electric bill and I had remembered to BUY the bread.
I didn't even fail to recognize opportunity. I had BOTH THE BUTTER AND THE KNIFE READY to butter the toast.
Therefore, is it you that molecularly changed the bread?
Good post Phil! Anxious for Ola's response to it!
Just posted on the BAR thread here at IHUB....

Both, actually! EOM.
OK WLGS Posters...and lurkers.....
Since WLGS is in this mundane state of flux, I wanted to draw your attention to another nifty fun little board I have created here at IHUB.
It's called The HANGOUT.
Just a place here on IHUB to babble and relax on. And yes, even the WLGS "bashers" and other's who 'hate me' (LOL) can come join in on the fun, where we are always intelligent, just never try to be serious.
Kinda the opposite of the WLGS RB Board! LOL! :)

Today's Hangout Topic....
BURNT TOAST !!!
Whose fault is it, anyways?
The molecular structure of the bread?
The faulty toaster?
The faulty toastee?
Last night's extra 'happy hour'?
Your inner hidden psychotic desire for something a little bolder and braver?
The electric company 'getting back at you' for non payment of bill?
Your scheme to increase bread's right's for a more 'tropical vacation'?
Post your thoughts NOW!
JHMO, but if that is the error message that you received, which I'd heard talked about here before but never knew the actual 'message', then I agree that it isn't really the bestestest of professional error messages for IHUB to be leaving....
:)
Chairman's Note:
Thanks everyone for a lively civil debate today.
We don't have to agree, or even 'get along', but it's nice to see posts of varying viewpoints without personal attacks. To me, it is always the personal attack that weakens the topic at hand.
Attack the message and not the messenger is a good way to act on the internet, IMHO.
Thanks again!
It depends solely on the spelling of ant. EOM.
ROFLMAO @ NW....
Do ants have wet dreams?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
(Also, do ants use duct tape or ant tape?)
Who knows ola?
Maybe once we know all their is to know about water, we'll know everything!

ola, ummmmmmmm,
For Entertainment? Introspection? Widening of Intellect? Greater Worldliness? After dinner conversation? To further refute another?
I could probably think of more reasons than this.
