WHAT'S THE HAPS ON THE CRAPS?  In the tradition of Which Cubs Game Did Ferris Bueller Attend? and my What St. John's Game Did Prince Akeem Enjoy?, someone has cross-referenced the Lakers' box scores, Los Angeles weather reports, MTV's programming schedule and the history of beeper technology to determine that January 20, 1992, was Ice Cube's Good Day.

    They couldn't figure this out a week ago?

  2. Had to rule out LA area shootings involving an AK-47.  Slow response to the FOIA request held up final determination.

    Seriously, that would've been a much nicer birthday present than bronchitis.

  4. I want to put in a FOIA request to NYC's 911 system to find out when Flavor Flav called.

  6. But that's the point: maybe he called at a night when there were many demands on the emergency response system.  We don't know that he correctly eliminated the possibility of other factors in the lagging response time.

    That's a good point.  I had figured that if, as Mr. Flav described, they were such a joke in his town, they would most likely have the record-keeping to match.
