hi my name's big jake!
so i was spending a quiet night at home last night, watching the news, waiting for seinfeld to come on, when i saw this news story about a bounty hunter who arrested the wrong guy on accident. they showed him showing up in court and i noticed the shape of the guy and the tatoo on the back of his neck. i immediately exclaimed "THAT'S BIG JAKE!" then they showed him getting interviewed. it was indeed big jake. read the story here.

i used to think it was weird when i started hearing about people i knew getting married or dying ... its a new kind of weird when people you know start showing up on the news for rolling up to a Starbucks Coffee drive-through line with a shotgun, dragging a dude out of a car, arresting him, then having it turn out to be kidnapping because it was the wrong guy. as messed up as all of this is, you've got to admit, being a 19 year old bounty hunter and packing a shotgun because you're too young to carry a handgun is pretty freaking tough.

in a situation like this, i think drive like jehu said it best: Good luck in jail.
