Why we fight, etc

A correspondent forwards this from our local newspaper:

A man told D_____ police that he was assaulted by his nephew Sunday evening while watching the "American Music Awards" on TV.

According to the D_____ Police incident report, the nephew made a comment about Justin Bieber's sexuality and his uncle told him to keep his opinions to himself.

The nephew became angry, slammed down a plate of chili fries, and told his uncle he would beat him up.

The 50-year-old victim was then allegedly struck in the head causing a small laceration to his forehead.

The nephew left the house on Oak Street before officers arrived and police are working to locate him, according to the report.

1. chili fries - a nice detail that takes this story into the realm of, oh, I don't know, Raymond Carver?

2. this is, of course, about three blocks from where we live
