Ranting Elmo Returns and Is Arrested in Times Square
MICHAEL WILSON/The New York Times wrote:A man dressed as Elmo was taken into custody on Tuesday in Times Square. The same man had been removed from Central Park in June.
A man with a history of shouting anti-Semitic rants while dressed as Elmo at popular tourist destinations was arrested in his red costume in Times Square on Tuesday.
The man, Adam Sandler, 48, who in June was removed from Central Park in an ambulance after going on a rant, was arrested in front of the Toys “R” Us store in Times Square shortly after 3 p.m., the police said. He was charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. Mr. Sandler was shouting and drawing a crowd that was blocking traffic, and he refused to leave, the police said.

I dunno, one pallet load, dropped from about ten meters ('applied firmly,' in other words), might muffle the stupid. But maybe not the whimpering....

There's more than one Adam Sandler? Whoa...
(Fun fact: "Sandler" is a dialect expression for "hobo" around here (well, in German), so make of this what you will...)

Adam was the first man. He was kicked out of paradise becoming homeless therefore the first hobo. Makes sense.

i was in the garden of eden, that was in the year of two,
joined the apple pickers union, and i always paid my dues;
i'm the man that signed the contract to raise the rising sun,
and that's about the biggest thing a man has ever done.
