Don't Rub This Woman's Rhubarb

2013_7_31_rhubarbthief.jpg The Loch Ness Monster. The Chupacabra. The Angry, Foul-Mouthed Iowa Rhubarb Thief. Only one of these is real.

The video below, showing a woman caught in the act of stealing rhubarb and her over-the-top reaction to being caught in the act, is making the Internet rounds today. Actually, "over-the-top" may be an understatement in describing her response to being caught stealing rhubarb. This woman unleashes a stream of profanity so creative it would make a sailor blush. She also seems informed on the subject of "alley property" in defending her thievery from her "Pinnochio fucking nose" accuser.

This goes on for four minutes, folks, with the Rhubarb Thief calling her foil a "fucking lezzie" and a "big fatass" who should "lose some weight." Maybe she should put some sugar on that rhubarb so it isn't so tart.
