    This guy is giving hammocks a bad name (article)

    Hopefully, the judge gives him extra time for hammock abuse.

    Give him a fair trial and then HANG him!
    He is your friend, your companion, your defender... he is your dog. You are his life, his leader, and master. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of that devotion.

    6 pounds! That's probably what gave him away... the weight of that hammock.

    He should look at it on the bright side; sure, the authorities found the meth, but they overlooked the hammock itself (which was made entirely from woven hemp). Hmmmm, gives a new meaning to the phrase "Hang 'em high".
    You're gonna need a bigger hammock

    6 Pounds of Meth!? This guy doesn't need a hammock (he ain't sleepin' anyway)...he needs an eliptical trainer hooked to a generator.
