Man Gets DWI After Riding Motorized Cooler
Some people are morons..........
One New York man's Memorial Day fun ended when police pulled him over while he was driving his motorized cooler.
Leslie J. "Bomber" Marr, 57, was charged with driving while intoxicated and aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle after the police saw him swerving on the street and driving on the sidewalk in his "Cruzin Cooler," Whitehall Police Chief Richard LaChapelle told the Post Star newspaper.
Marr's electric-powered cooler was filled with 14 beers and has room for 24 cans and ice, Fox News reported.
Under New York state law, driving any motorized vehicle must be done without alcohol, including motorized coolers. In various states, other modes of transportation in which driving is prohibited while intoxicated include lawnmowers, boats, bicycles, golf carts, wheelchairs and horses.
The "Cruzin Cooler" Web site features talk show host Ellen Degeneres riding a cooler. The site praises the vehicle, saying it "combines two basic necessities of life, the ability to have cold food or a beverage handy along with the means to get somewhere without walking."
According to cruzincooler.com, the motor or electric-powered cooler can go up to 13 mph and has hitches to attach a wagon that can pull a 400-pound load on level surfaces.

Two things...
First, it was insanely foggy at 2am!!! I even missed my road! I had to turn around at the gas station and go back, lol.
Second... I find the Alltel commercials really funny now considering Verizon bought them out. You know, the ones with Chad as the Alltel guy and one of the other four is wearing a Verizon shirt. Wonder how much longer those commercials will last....

Another article on the silliness of TX courts...
Judge bases court order for Wal-Mart trial on UA, UT football rivalry
FAYETTEVILLE - In a highly unusual situation, a judge in Texas is ordering a lawsuit against Wal-Mart to hold court, in Texarkana. His reason? A college football rivalry.
According to Judge James Nowlin, because Wal-Mart, and the plaintiff, cannot agree on which state, Arkansas or Texas, to meet in to hold trial, he's ordering them to what he calls "neutral ground," splitting the state line. But, his comments are anything but neutral.
According to an actual court order, the plaintiff, Ruth Waggoner, wanted the deposition of Wal-Mart's representative to take place in San Antonio. But Wal-Mart wanted the deposition to take place in Bentonville.
Now, according to an official court order by Judge James Nowlin of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas, Judge Nowlin is citing the U of A, University of Texas rivalry as the reason why the two sides cannot agree on a trial site, and orders that the deposition will happen in Texarkana, with each party on their side of the state line.
The story becomes more wild with the judge's comments, on the order. He states: "surely the defendant's corporate representative, a resident of Arkansas, would feel great humiliation by being forced to enter the home state of the University of Texas, where the legendary Texas Longhorns have wrought havoc on the Arkansas Razorbacks with an impressive 55-21 all-time series record."
Judge Nowlin goes on to say, "the Razorbacks, who disgracefully retreated from the Southwest Conference to the gentler pastures of the Southeastern Conference, could have likely learned a lesson about stamina and perseverance in the face of battle by visiting the Alamo in San Antonio."
Some Razorback supporters say what the judge did was not professional. Connor Henderson, a recent Arkansas transplant, says he thinks the judge is in the wrong occupation. "I would tell him that he needs to get another job, because he has no idea what he's doing, and that he's blowing things out of proportion."
Holly Lovell is a Texas native, but even she says Judge Nowlin has taken things too far, expecially in regards to the plantiff. "I think that is completely wrong and disrespectful, very much so, to the family. I love Texas, but I don't think he should do that."
Others, like Razorback fan Scott Howie of Harrison, say the judge's order, and the whole scenario, is pretty amusing. "I think it could be very entertaining, depending on what it was about. That's pretty interesting, but you know, as long as we call the Hogs, we'll have our day in court."
Regardless of the way people feel about the judge's decision, everyone says they've never seen a court order like this, before. Order was signed May 3rd, 2008, this case goes to trial because, according to the judge's court order, the two sides must meet outside, on the steps of the Texarkana Federal Building, because it straddles the state line, on June 11, 2008.
And, Judge Nowlin is specifically ordering each party to remain on their own state's turf.

Texas Judge Cites Longhorn/Razorback Rivalry in Bizarre Order

A lawsuit brought against Wal-Mart in a Texas court involves a very unusual order.
According to the order, the plaintiff wanted the deposition of Wal-Mart's representative to take place in San Antonio....but Wal-Mart wanted the deposition to take place in Bentonville.
So a judge has decided that the deposition will happen in Texarkana...with both sides on their respective sides of the state line.
A Wal-Mart spokesperson says they have seen the order and understand what the judge is saying and will continue to work out details with the plaintiff.
Below is the text from the order:
Before the Court in the above-entitled and styled cause of action is Defendant Wal-Mart Stores Texas, L.L.C.'s Opposed Motion for a Protective Order, filed May 29, 2008 (Doc. #26). Apparently, the parties are unable to agree if the deposition of Wal-Mart's corporate representative should occur in San Antonio, Texas or in Bentonville, Arkansas.
The court is sympathetic with Defendant's argument. Surely Defendant's corporate representative, a resident of Arkansas, would feel great humiliation by being forced to enter the home state of the of the University of Texas, where the legendary Texas Longhorns have wrought havoc on the Arkansas Razorbacks with an impressive 55-21 all-time series record.[1]
On the other hand, the Court is sympathetic with Plaintiff's position. Plaintiffs might enter Arkansas with a bit of trepidation as many residents of Arkansas are still seeking retribution for the "Game of the Century" in which James Street and Darrell Royal stunned the Razorbacks by winning the 1969 National Championship.[2]
Because the Court is sympathetic to both parties' positions, it has found a neutral site, intended to avoid both humiliation and trepidation of retribution.
ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED THAT unless the parties agree otherwise, the deposition of Defendant's corporate representative shall occur at 9 AM on June 11, 2008 on the steps of the Texarkana Federal Building, 500 State Line Avenue, TX/AR 71854.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED THAT each party is to remain on his or her respective side of the state line.
SIGNED this 3rd day of May, 2008.
JAMES R. NOWLIN
UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
[1] It is worth nothing that the Razorbacks, who disgracefully retreated from the Southwest Conference to the gentler pastures of the Southeastern Conference, could have likely learned a lesson about stamina and perseverance in the face of battle by visiting the Alamo in San Antonio.
[2] The Court takes judicial notice that the "Game of the Century" for the current century occurred on January 4, 2006 when Vince Young and Mack Brown led the Longhorns in a 41-38 win over the USC Trojans, thus securing the 2005 National Championship.

Imagine a giant bottle of windex...
That's what the parking lot of Wal-Mart in Rogers smelled like!! Maybe with a touch of citrus though...
The greeter said they were re-sealing the parking lot. I guess they're trying to impress the Wal-Martians and Wal-Nuts. But geez... it smelled!

Julie Andrews Turns 69, this is hysterical
To commemorate her birthday , actress/vocalist, Julie Andrews made a special appearance at Manhattan's Radio City Music Hall for the benefit of the AARP.
One of the musical numbers she performed was 'My Favorite Things' from the legendary movie 'Sound Of Music'. Here are the lyrics she used:
> > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >> > > > > > > > >
(Sing It!) - If you sing it, its especially hysterical!!!
Maalox and nose drops and needles for knitting,
Walkers and handrails and new dental fittings,
Bundles of magazines tied up in string,
These are a few of my favorite things.
Cadillacs and cataracts ,and hearing aids and glasses,
Polident and Fixodent and false teeth in glasses,
Pacemakers, golf carts and porches with swings,
These are a few of my favorite things.
When the pipes leak, When the bones creak,
When the knees go bad,
I simply remember my favorite things,
And then I don't feel so bad.
Hot tea and crumpets and corn pads for bunions,
No spicy hot food or food cooked with onions,
Bathrobes and heating pads and hot meals they bring,
These are a few of my favorite things.
Back pain, confused brains and no need for sinnin',
Thin bones and fractures and hair that is thinnin',
And we won't mention our short shrunken frames,
When we remember our favorite things.
When the joints ache, When the hips break,
When the eyes grow dim,
Then I remember the great life I've had,
And then I don't feel so bad.
> > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >> >
(Ms. Andrews received a standing ovation from the crowd that lasted over four minutes and repeated encores. Please share Ms. Andrews' clever wit and humor with others who would appreciate it.

I love my monster!
Why I'm thinking about it, I don't know. But Oyster has really put up with a lot in his years with me. On the first of this month he turned 6 years old, which is roughly 40 in human years, hehe.
Thinking back.......
We've lived in 7 different places
We've had 5 different roommates
We've lived with 4 other animals (counting mom's two cats)
He's had horrible vet experiences
He's eaten or chewed on more things than I even want to remember or count! Grrr
He's learned to let me clip his nails and take a bath
He's learned to play fetch with ponytail holders (and still steals every single one I own that isn't put away)
He's learned the words breakfast, hungry and t-r-e-a-t. (notice those all involve food)
He's left numerous scars on me, some still visible, and some have faded
I've painted him with easter egg dye
He's made my feet fall asleep numerous times
He's bitten several people, and hissed at more
And through it all, he's still my sweet and loving kitten and I hope we have at least 6 more wonderful years, if not more! :)

Beware what you hum....
I love to sing! I love to hum along with movies and commercials, and I have a habit of getting jingles stuck in my head and singing them all night long (Free Credit Report Dot Com is really bad!).
So, nearly every day, while I'm doing things before work, or killing time, I have A&E on TV. I don't always watch each one, but CSI: Miami comes on at 12, Crossing Jordan at 1 and 2, and then at 3, The Sopranos come on. Usually this is my signal to get up, get dressed if I'm not, put in my contacts and get ready for work.
So if you've never heard the theme song for Sopranos, here's how it goes..
You woke up this morning
Got yourself a gun,
Mama always said you’d be
The Chosen One.
But then the last thing I hear usually sticks in my head the worst. So you can imagine the stares I got from a few co-workers when I came in singing "got yourself a gun" LOL. But it was easily explained that it was the theme song and the last thing I heard on TV, hehe.
I hate when they change my TV line-ups. Not that I specifically liked the show that was on before Sopranos took its spot, but I like this one less, hehe.

How to build a Diaper Cake - Day One
Gather your basic pieces...
Lots of diapers!
One dis-assembled ball of rubber bands
Step One:
Separate the diapers and marvel at how little baby bottoms can be.
Roll them tightly and then make Lishy and Lesley die laughing by asking if I'm making them un-sterile or anything by handling them all. Lishy says they're just going to be pooped on, so umm... they're fine :)
But just out of curiousity...
In what language are they called couches???
Woohooooo! First twenty-something are done!
Yes, I made sure each one had two matching rubber bands, I'm anal like that some days!
And yes Oyster, I'm paying attention to something other than you
Even if you do keep me from stretching my legs out
or if you use my leg for a head rest!
Woohoo! The second bag is almost empty!
And this my darlings is what 80 rolled and rubber-banded newborn diapers in a box look like:
More to come later! My hands need a break.........
Lots of diapers!

But just out of curiousity...
In what language are they called couches???
Woohooooo! First twenty-something are done!
Yes, I made sure each one had two matching rubber bands, I'm anal like that some days!
And yes Oyster, I'm paying attention to something other than you
Even if you do keep me from stretching my legs out
or if you use my leg for a head rest!
Woohoo! The second bag is almost empty!
And this my darlings is what 80 rolled and rubber-banded newborn diapers in a box look like:
More to come later! My hands need a break.........

The inventors have gotten bored......
So I spend a lot of time in Wal-Mart... I noticed a week or so ago a display at the end of the aisle of hot chocolate and mocha latte's. Next time I saw them I noticed that the container says "Self Heating" and kind of wondered who was going to pay $2.00 for a cup of hot chocolate.
However, tonight, I found that whole display in the back of the store, half price at $1.00 per container, so curiosity has gotten the better of me, hehe. At the checkout, the security guard dude behind me they were really good. On the way I got to thinking, these would be really awesome for camping!
So here's the deal, you turn it upside down and pull off a foil that hides the "button" to activate it. You press the button down really hard, and this green liquid (they call it "water") drains down into the container. You turn it right side up after 10 seconds and watch the pink dot on the back side until it turns white and then it's hot and ready to drink! It's not scorchingly hot that you can't drink it, but it's much more than lukewarm! Has a slightly different chocolate taste to it, but it's pretty good :) (Update: duh, I bought the ones with the marshmallows, the "slightly different" taste is the marshmallows, lol) Also comes in several different soup flavors, but I didn't see those...

Also makes a very nice hand warmer, but because of the weight of the special stuff, it's hard to tell when it's empty, lol. I've got to get more of these before they quit selling them, I need them for camping, hehehehe.

Goofy Product of the day...
Slipper Genie Microfiber Cleaning Slippers
Sorry.... still giggling, but hey... that would be a good idea. With one exception... I'd have to move the rugs I have in the kitchen and the two bathrooms to really do a good job!

Nothing to say.....
I just got tired of staring at a chunk of cheese when I opened my browser. In an attempt to blog more, my "home page" is set to my blogger.
Go
Away
Cheese
Picture!
There, that should cover it :) Move along now.... Time for me to sleep... my body is whacked out over the time change, ugh.

New Food Critique #3
More cheese! Lesley, this is your fault...
Sonoma Jack - Garlic Jack
Thankfully, I am not a vampire. Otherwise, the garlic of this cheese would have done me in, LOL. Natural Jack cheese with garlic and parsley. Very yummy, yet very garlic-y. Really not bad, I'd buy it again :)
Cappiello - Smoked Braided Mozzarella
I *LOVE* smoked cheese, and this one was no exception. Two thumbs up, needs no more explanation, hehe.

Silliness at Work
Gustabo and Amilcar are going to dayshift next week. We had a nice dinner of subs and chips and then an ice cream cake. After the workers went home, we convinced Gustabo to join us in the supervisor's office and we attacked him with silly string. It rocked :)
