Sox Shuffle Continues
Back when we were in high school, the most we had to worry about at the big dance was our girlfriend Ariel's Bible-thumping preacher father catching us all and enforcing our small town's "no dancing" ordinance. But the kids at Maine South High School in Park Ridge had a bigger concern at their homecoming dance this past weekend when school officials were notified that 911 dispatch had received not one, not two, but three anonymous calls reporting that there was a bomb at the school.
The calls came in just 45 minutes after the dance had started, and the school was immediately evacuated. After being told by Cook County law enforcement that the bomb squad wouldn't be able to get their explosive sniffing canines to the school until an hour later (is that a normal response time?), the dance was officially called off and parents were called to come pick up their teenagers. What happened to the keg of MGD awaiting in a room at the nearby Ramada is unclear. [District 207, NBC5]

Sounds like someone was a little bitter about not being invited to the dance.
Thing is, they always catch these numbskulls. Anyone stupid enough to do this is dumb enough to leave a trail of breadcrumbs right back to their cheeto-infused lair.
