If you're going to run away from the cops, you should make sure (1) you're not in handcuffs and (2) you actually get away. That's just basic knowledge every person learns at high school parties when the cops knock on the door. It's also common sense.

Well, last night, one 18-year-old kid (man? what age is the cut off for kid/man?) didn't pay attention to either. After a minor marijuana arrest, the suspect jumped out of the backseat of a moving cop van and bolted. His first mistake was the whole being-in-handcuffs thing and then he made another one: he ran down into the subway (the 1 train at Christopher Street, to be specific). In any situation, the subway is a dead end, unless the subway is there waiting for you in an awesome James-Bond-esque coincidence.

Who knows what happened down there - the cops apparently have no idea. The fugitive might have jumped down on the tracks and ran for his life or that coincidence mentioned before actually did happen. All we know is that the 1 train was temporarily suspended and when the fugitive came out of a manhole somewhere around East 21st and Lexington Avenue.

And, of course, guess who was waiting for him? According to the Post, 30 or 40 cops showed up at the scene and arrested the idiot mid-manhole-climb. He was arrested yet again and brought to booking at a nearby location.

He'll probably get another additional resisting-arrest charge but, in the end, he will be reprimanded for not knowing how to ran away from the Boys in Blue. Poor guy should've went to more parties in high school.

THE VILLAGE IDIOT COOKS HIS TOES

Have you ever heard of Souse? Souse is a way we Trinis pickle meat or trimmings, usually pig's feet, cow tongue, chicken feet etc., by marinating it in water, seasoned with onions, cucumbers, pepper, salt and other seasonings. the process is simple and doesn't take long to prepare. The marinating is also short, as compared to overnight marinating that some recipes require.

This is one of our favorite "liming" foods that's popular at bazaars, harvests, football competitions, family day celebration, parties, and fetes (even the all inclusive fetes) , in fact anywhere there is a lime, look out for souse, you just can't miss it. This favorite appetizer and crowd favourite always sells out. Lovers of this dish, including myself, could never get enough of it. Probably it is the marinated cucumbers, lime juice, hot pepper and Chadon Beni that give it that unique flavour or possibly, I hear that when drinking, the salt from the souse "cuts" the alcohol and you take longer to get intoxicated.

Nevertheless, this is a dish worth trying especially if you're liming (hanging out) with some friends and you're having a drink or two. It will truly complement the occasion.

THE VILLAGE IDIOT IN SUITCASE FLINGING DRUGS BUST

Security officials in Guyana, yesterday, arrested eight 

persons following the seizure of close to 60 pounds of 

cocaine found in a checked suitcase aboard a Caribbean 

Airlines plane bound for New York.

An official from the Customs Anti Narcotic Unit (CANU), 

James Singh, said the drug was found late Saturday by 

authorities at  the Cheddi Jagan International airport.

This is CANU's fourth major drug bust at  airport since 

the start of the year.

Earlier this year, 12 airport employees were fired after a 

bag with 50 pounds of cocaine was thrown over a 

perimeter fence.

Guyana is believed to be  a transit point for South 

American drugs bound for the US and Europe.
