Note To Self: Do NOT dress like a Ninja at the next UGA Football Game You Attend

I have seen some weird stuff in my years in Athens, but maybe not this weird:

A dude innocuously dressed as a ninja on the UGA campus is tackled by federal agents for being suspicious, thrown to the pavement, and has his face become best friends with one of the agent's knees.

"OK", you say. "I 've been to Athens, so this isn't too far out of the realm of possibility. Obviously this was late at night, and mass quantities of alcohol were consumed. Hell, this is a normal Tuesday night in Athens. Who hasn't been to a Ninjas vs. Pirates keg party at UGA? No big deal."

What if I told you that 1) this happened in the middle of the day, and 2) dude is a member of a campus United Methodist organization and was participating in an event to spread the word bout said Methodist center around campus?


Jihadist with a bomb strapped to his body?
Nope. Adult Dungeons & Dragons player dressed as a ninja

That is one overzealous Federal Agent - did he wake up that morning and watch the Rambo trilogy while chugging Red Bulls & mocha cappachinos before reporting for work? Is dressing like a ninja as a college sophomore, in the middle of the day, a sign of cool or tool?

I'm just glad that this agent doesn't work or live here in in the Bay Area. I see 20 different people a week dressed in wacky-ass costumes in the middle of the day; this dude's head would explode after one day of walking the streets here. Could you imagine this guy down at Fisherman's Wharf and one of his buddies pays the infamous "Bushman" $5 to scare the shit out of him as he walks down the street?


The next ATF agent he scares might be his last

What if this guy spent a day over in Bezerkeley on the campus of Cal? Or down in Palo Alto at Stanford? The Tree would be in much more trouble than it has been recently.
