Sorry for that “Phantom Menace clip in the previous post, but I did find something
interesting when I was searching for it:
In today’s flashback to the ’90s news, former child star Jake Lloyd, the
Turbo-Man fanatic from the Arnold Schwarzenegger Christmas movie Jingle All
The Way and the infamous first Star Wars prequel The Phantom Menace, was
arrested on charges including resisting arrest and failing to stop for a
police officer in South Carolina this weekend. Police saw Lloyd speeding,
and began to follow him, but rather than slow down, Lloyd sped up and according to TMZ eventually
reached 117 miles per hour as he led police on a chase that ended with
Lloyd crashing into a tree.

It's the picture that sells this—that yes, I can see that kid becoming Darth
Vader.
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
