'Vengeance' swipes cake, eats it, too

August 30, 2004

A 6-foot-tall, 275-pound bearded man crashed a children's birthday party in Oak Forest, identified himself as "vengeance," then helped himself to a piece of cake, police said.

The incident occurred earlier this month at a home in the 14800 block of South Landings Lane in the south suburb, Deputy Police Chief Nick Sparacino said.

When the owner of the home asked the man who he was, the intruder replied, "I am vengeance. I am the knight. I am Batman." Then the man went into the kitchen, cut a piece of birthday cake, took it into the living room and ate it.

After continued questioning by the homeowner, the man left the house and drove off in a red 1988 Cadillac.

Police haven't found the man yet and want to charge him with criminal trespass.

"I've been on the job 31 years and I've seen a lot of weird stuff, but nothing like this," Sparacino said.

Maybe he was recently concussed during a football game.

"Would you enjoy some cake, citizen? Would you like to eat cake with Batman?"

 

[mattx5]

Ladies and gentlemen, you have eaten well. You've eaten Gotham's wealth, it's spirit.....

Now it's time to share the grub with me

 

[Willco]

Calls the police on that guy right now.

[Dagless M.D.]

I cant believe they want to charge him for this, he is a genius

 

[levious]

I can't believe the homeowner didn't do anything more than ask repeatedly, "why are you in my home?"

These people are just pissed they got owned so badly.

Like you're going to tell Batman he can't have cake.

 

[commish]

If someone came in like that, they would be shot.

 

[Willco]

Yeah, I say Batman earned that cake. I like the fact that he ate the whole thing in the living room.

That actually happened to a couple of my cousins. They had rented a home near the beach and when they opened the door, there was a family living in there. i don't know why it's important, but every time i've heard the story there's a mention that there were greens and pigfeet on the stove. Evidentally, no one in the family thought it was odd that random people just waltzed into their house. Turns out the guy they rented from accidentally rented the same place out to a family.

there was no mention that he brought a gift

So a heavy-set, bearded lunatic busts up a kid's birthday party, claims he's Batman, and then demands (and gets!) a slice of birthday cake?

...

Where was Harry Knowles at the time?

Only works if he's not prepared.


What I need to do is kidnap Barbara Gordon and shoot her in the back.

Ahh, I'm on the wrong side of the city. Nothing interesting ever happens here. BTW, that sounds like a good prank to pull.

 

[Escape Goat]

I just picture him crashing through the skylight in the dining room and landing on the cake in a kneeling position, "I am the night. I am vengeance! I...am...BATMAN!"
