I don't write about the weird. I should do more. The stories always make me laugh. Call it a guilty pleasure. But I figure my readers like a certain kind of story -- serious attempts at moderately deep political analysis. Well, not this time. Dammit, this story just needs to be told.
It's got transvestites and tire irons and violence -- Quentin Tarantino will be turning this into a move soon.
It's just one of those stories that makes you wonder...I mean, I know transvestites are men who dress like women, but I never assumed it followed that they fought like women too:
A troublesome trio of transvestites allegedly laid siege to a Memphis McDonald's restaurant Sunday night, sparking a brawl with the restaurant's crew, according to reports.
Police said they were working on a more detailed description of three men dressed in drag who came into a McDonald's restaurant and started swinging.
Restaurant employee Martez Brisco was working the drive-through window when he reportedly got into an argument with the suspects. When Brisco ignored them tapping at the window, they came in.
So the fight starts as a brawl, but degenerates into a catfight:
The transvestites allegedly struck the manager with a tire iron, and when he swung back, the drag queens took off their stiletto boots, removed their earrings and prepared to attack. The manager, Albert Bolton, was covered with scratch marks after suspects clawed him with their fingernails.
Police are looking for three men dressed as women driving around downtown Memphis -- they look like Cher, Donna Summers, and Michael Jackson.
OK, technically dressing like Michael Jackson does not make you a transvestite. Not sure what it makes you, but there must be a name for it.
Note: I just made up the descriptions.
