ALEXANDRIA, La. (AP) - Alexandria police said man stopped for riding his bicycle at night without a headlight was carrying a weapon made from a butcher knife attached to a pool cue. They said the 51-year-old man also had a razor blade in his hat. He was booked with illegally carrying a weapon, doing so after a felony conviction, resisting an officer, public intoxication and at least five outstanding warrants.

The police report said the suspect originally gave police a fake name. An officer patted him down and found a metal push rod that appeared to be used for smoking crack cocaine. They also found a prescription painkiller in someone else's name.

Wow is right! I do NOT want to know what on earth this guy was thinking, but will ask rhetorically What the HECK was he thinking?!?!?!

I must confess I opened this thread hoping for something about actual jousting, which is the state sport of Maryland (I am not making this up), using bicycles instead of horses!

Owlice, if I didn't love my bicycle, I'd joust with you. Maybe my surly can take it.
