Arugula: Dangerous Vegetable


So, a “real” man these days is supposed to be some sort of metrosexual who is “in touch with his feelings,” and pretends to enjoy watching Terms of Endearment and know what in the hell arugula is, right? Well, that can get you into trouble:

A Michigan woman who pleaded guilty to setting her ex-boyfriend on fire has been sentenced to 40 years in prison.

Thirty-eight-year-old Dorothy Hamilton of Galesburg, Mich., pleaded guilty last month to one count of arson. A St. Joseph County judge cited Hamilton’s criminal history in sentencing her Wednesday to the maximum term stipulated under her plea agreement.

Hamilton admitted pouring gas on her ex-boyfriend and throwing a lighter on him in 2006 after an argument at a St. Joseph County residence. He suffered permanent scarring on his buttocks. Hamilton evaded authorities for 10 months before her August 2007 arrest in Texas.

Court documents state that Hamilton attacked her ex-boyfriend because he had not intervened when ‘‘another individual’’ looked at her in a sexual way.

This poor slob doesn’t commit assault against “another individual” who checked out his ex-girlfriend, and so his girlfriend doesn’t just dump his sorry ass but she pours gasoline on him and sets it on fire.

This seems like an odd scenario to Keyser. Surely, if your ex-girlfriend is shouting at you and has just poured gasoline on you – did she just happen to have a canister of the stuff with her? – you should run like hell when she gets out a lighter. Just sayin’.

Anyway, women have got to make up their minds. Either they want their men to be like Carson Kreesly or they want to set such men on fire. You can’t have it both ways.

What the fuck is arugula, anyway?
