You don't like canned chili? Gee, that is one of my favorite comfort foods from childhood, with melting grated sharp cheddar cheese on top, and plenty of saltine crackers for dipping into the piquant gooey mess. Hormel's chili with beans is my personal favorite. Yes, the assembled Thread Culinary Panel is definitely deflated by your flat refusal to risk your arterial health for the newest Velveeta recipe, Alex. Since you are being such a party pooper, how about a ridiculous gun story? Woman Shot At While Rolling Out Trash Can Andreas Tzortzis, Chronicle Staff Writer Wednesday, December 10, 1997 A 56-year-old woman rolling out her garbage can in South San Francisco was shot at twice by her neighbor after he apparently became enraged at the noise the garbage can made being rolled slowly along the curb. Police arrested Joseph Victor Ghiorsi, 52, shortly after 8 a.m. Monday at his South San Francisco home. He has been charged with attempted murder. Ghiorsi allegedly pointed a .22 caliber pistol through his neighbor's fence and fired two shots at Sofia Borusko, police said. He missed. As she had done for countless Monday mornings before, Borusko, 56, slowly rolled out her garbage can to the curb. Something inside Ghiorsi apparently snapped, police said. Ghiorsi ran out of his house and began ''violently'' pounding on the five-foot-tall wood fence separating the houses, said Sergeant Mike Newell of the South San Francisco police department. Borusko asked several times who it was, then spotted the barrel of a gun pointing through the latticework at the top of the fence. According to Newell, Ghiorsi fired two shots at Borusko. Borusko screamed before running inside her house and calling the police. Sergeant Mike Massoni, patrolling the street in an unmarked car, responded and called for backup. Ghiorsi was arrested without incident and is being held on $250,000 bail. Police say they still don't know what prompted the violent confrontation between the longtime neighbors in the quiet South San Francisco neighborhood. ''The (crimes) we've seen, generally you can predict, because there's an escalation of problems,'' Newell said. ''But this case seems just like she was taking the garbage out, and then he snapped.'' sfgate.com
