Columbo


welcome back friends and neighbors to an all-new wittygeeks blog 2022 style. 

starting with columbo. first i have to preface that this is a show from 1968 not that that changes any laws or application of law. to be honest about 2 weeks ago i could have told you i had heard the name before but had no idea what it was about. *beware potential spoiler alerts* i have watched about 5 episodes now and some things really stand out. and before anyone gets on my case, i know its a tv show but some realism would be appreciated. 

since when is it okay for a cop to let himself into someone's home and randomly begin looking around and poking in drawers etc? have we not heard of a warrant? uh, mind you, the constitution and right to search and seizure has been around oh since 1776. 

or how is it that columbo always manages to know who is the guilty party or is always in the 'right place, at the right time?' pretty convenient. 

has anyone else noticed that columbo is actually not very bright and just accidentally stumbles on the right path or the right questions and up until 1 episode, does not do anything that could be considered police investigation or work? 

i enjoy the show and am just always surprised when columbo does something that contradicts all aspects of applicable law. one particular episode, he literally harassed a woman he a.. followed and b. questioned without a lawyer and then when she insisted multiple times, continued to badger her and ask questions. hello, once a lawyer is requested questioning stops. this lady pretty much broke down, no lawyer present. uh, problem, your case would be thrown out and you as a cop would most likely be regulated to a desk or fired. can we say liability?

    goddamn I hate traffic!!! how is it that I can leave work at 5pm and not get home until almost 7pm??! oh wait, too many fucking assholes driving at this time. remind me again why I work the GRAVE YARD SHIFT??! cars and cars and cars and the saddest thing is that I cannot use my workaround to get away from traffic because turn a corner and holy fuck, more traffic!  don't you fuckers have somewhere else to be?! what about this - we have all been waiting in the line forever and you decide, hey let me pass all this traffic and get to the front, then merge my way in. how about, NO WAY FUCKER I HAVE BEEN WAITING TOO LONG TO LET YOU CUT. so when you get to me and I didn't let you in:       and rubber neckers, someone had better be bleeding and dismembered on the side of the road to be blocking up traffic just so they can look at some DUMB FUCK who rear ended someone else and didn't leave a dent. so my final thought is FUCK YOU, and FUCK YOU TR

Gamer Girls

    the real gamer girl     typical gamer (at home nerd, lives with his mom)      ok so its been some time since I have taken a moment to rant about anything so here is my latest "rant."  i like playing video games, i am a girl and no i wouldn't classify myself under the title of "gamer girl." somewhere in Twitchland some dumb broad came up with some way to solicit money out of the poor excuses for "gamers." the craziest thing about it is that the girls will go online, have a video camera pointed at their not so subtle tits and then wonder why guys are sending cash to them, but guess what, THE GIRL DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO PLAY THE GAME!! dudes, seriously have you not figured out that you are being had? if there was a real gamer girl out there and if the name meant anything at all, then you'd have me, sitting in front of my console or PC playing a game in my t-shirt and hoodie eating junk food with NO CAMERA. the &q
