What an Idiot! Facebook fugitive recaptured by British police (235 hits)
LONDON (AFP) - A criminal who taunted police via Facebook while on the run from prison in Britain has been recaptured, four months after his break-out, police said Wednesday. Craig "Lazie" Lynch, 28, became a cult figure thanks to his defiant status updates on the Internet social networking site.
Dubbed the "Facebook fugitive" by media, Lynch -- whose profile picture showed him raising his middle finger to the camera -- notched up tens of thousands of "friends" from around the world. There was also a separate Facebook page, "Where is Craig 'Lazie' Lynch?", calling for information which could lead to his capture.
Lynch was serving a seven-year term for aggravated burglary when he escaped prison in Suffolk, eastern England, in September. But he could now have his spell behind bars extended after being charged with escaping from lawful custody. Dozens of Facebook users expressed glee at his recapture on the "Where is Craig 'Lazie' Lynch?" page.
"I know where he is... locked up now!" wrote one, while another added: "Ha ha ha, he not laughing now is he at the police."
For any of those folks out there concerned about negative portrayals of African Americans in movies, just remember--DUMB AND DUMBER is about a couple of white guys.
So now we have DUMBER THAN DUMB!!!

Hey Jen:
It's good to laugh once in a while, especially when the world around you seems to be collapsing.
I have a question for you--I have seen you write this several times: (LMBO). What does this mean?
I can make a wild guess at it--based on what I THINK it is...(Laughed My Butt Off?) But--I really have no idea.
Please understand--I am not of your generation. Us old folks don't always keep up with the latest LINGO. (How's that for a 1950's word?)
Thanks for helping my education!!!
