From 2003: Cops catch semi-nude suspect fleeing in wheelchair

When people were nude in public and made the news, there was a good chance they'd be mentioned on The Obscure Store. My summary of a Jan. 30, 2003, story read this way:

Shane Michael Walton, 25, is suspected of breaking into and vandalizing two museums. He was nabbed as he tried to roll away from the scene of one crime in a wheelchair -- wearing only a top hat and cape that he apparently took from the museum.

There were a lot of great stories on this page (with a new design!), if I may say so myself. (You have to wait a second for The Wayback Machine jumps to the archived OS&RR page.)

Every girl is crazy for a sharp dressed man!

The vision of a mischievious nude 25-yr-old wearing a top hat and cape while fleeing in a wheelchair cracks me up. THAT would have been fun to watch--even more entertaining than Cher's tweets defending her freak of a daughter for being on Dancing with the Stars.

Twerp, is she/he dancing as a male or female? I don't watch the program nor do I mindlessly follow hollywood hype, but I have heard about Sonny and Cher's daughter.

Chaz (formerly Chastity). Is dancing as a male, according to a headline I saw. Anyone that bulky, male or female, is going to have a tough time dancing.

SHE is dancing as a male. She's just being a media whore doing something contraversial for attention.

Here's the deal: I would have issues if a male underwent a sex-change and competed in the Women's Olympic Track and Field. You can't change genetics and whether SOME females like to admit it or not, males have an edge in sports.

Now, I don't watch Dancing with the Stars so I don't know the rules of the show BUT from what I've seen on commercials and blurbs, the dance partners are co-ed. She's female dancing with another female....now, while I personally see nothing wrong with this, I wonder if it's breaking some of the show's rules. If so, she needs to have a male dancing partner because the fact of the matter is, no matter how much she disfigures her body or takes hormones, she CAN'T CHANGE GENETICS.

Thanks, Sheila, and Twerp. It must suck worse than Route 60 Hyundai to be him/her.

A friend changed from man to woman a few years ago and moved to Cleveland. I had no idea that he was unhappy enough with his life to move to Cleveland!
