Moron alert

September 4, 2025

They're out again. The brainless idiots who think that everyone else's property is theirs to steal or damage.

The latest example is the theft of Black Maple trees from the garden around the Library and Community Centre on the evening of August 27. The only hope is that these trees carry a fungus in their roots that spreads out to kill all the other plants in the cretin's garden and that the roots crack the foundations of their house. Oh, how we would laugh.

According to an online dictionary, the word "moron" can mean "a person who is notably stupid or lacking in good judgment" or "a person of borderline intelligence having an intelligence quotient of 50 to 69". Apparently the second of these is no longer used because it might be offensive, but who cares about offending thieves.

Are these morons offended by being called "morons"? Too bad if they are. There's that old cliché about caps that fit.
