Why not? I like the Hitchiker Searies... work. /:-)

I really hope this isn't the meaning of my life, though... I don't like the prospect of being a Mary Sue.  Funnily enough, this was also my first entry of 2005...

Peacock pummeler arraigned

The Staten Island man accused of beating a peacock so severely that it had to be euthanized was arraigned this afternoon in Stapleton Criminal Court and is being held on $2,500 bail.

His lawyer, a public defender, did not ask the judge for a psychological examination to determine if he is fit to stand trial, William J. Smith, a spokesman for District Attorney Daniel Donovan said.

John N. Potts, 32, is facing one misdemeanor count of animal cruelty after police allege that he savagely attacked the peacock -- which he believed was a vampire -- in a Tottenville fast-food restaurant parking lot last week.

Potts is also facing misdemeanor counts of menacing, criminal possession of a weapon, criminal trespassing and criminal mischief following an alleged run-in with his stepfather over the weekend in which he threatened his stepfather while brandishing a shovel outside his house. Following the incident he ran down Sprague Avenue and jumped into the Raritain Bay -- with the shovel -- after saying that he had bubonic plague.

It was not immediately known if Potts was remanded to Rikers Island or Bellevue Hospital.

He is due back in court on Friday.
