Kerfuffle

Not sure which is more amusing: building a motorized bar stool or getting a DWI for piloting it around

From TMZ...

Police report highlights:

"Unit #1 was heading west bound on Kelly Lane. Unit #1 attempted to turn around (180 degrees), and back down Kelly east bound. As Unit #1 began its turn, it rolled over and the operator was injured."

"Note: Unit #1 was a home made [sic] motor vehicle, a bar stool attached to a frame with a lawn mower attached."

"At this point I noticed that Mr. Wygle's eye's [SIC] were very blood shot and were glassy in appearance."

"I asked him what happened, Mr. Wygle stated, 'I wrecked my bar stool.'"

"I asked Mr. Wygle how much alcohol he had to drink, he said, 'a lot.'"

"I asked if the bar stool even ran and said, 'yes, it will go around 38 miles per hour.'"

Too funny.

More proof that the apocalypse is near: the Snuggie Pub Crawl

Not sure how I could have possible missed this breaking news a few weeks ago, from the Chicago Tribune...

"We thought, imagine the vision of 1,000 people walking down Clark Street wearing Snuggies -- this is what we wanted to make happen," said Kuthy, a 23-year-old Lincoln Park resident and co-organizer of the Snuggie Pub Crawl planned for downtown Chicago on March 21.

Naturally, this led to a website.

Less than a week after the launch of www.snuggiepubcrawl.com, [site founders] have e-mail addresses from more than 450 people interested in wearing the $19.99 Snuggies -- buy one, get one free, along with a free reading light -- for a blanket-covered, bar-hopping adventure.

When I think of person drinking beer while wrapped in a blanket, I think of a homeless guy with a 44 ounce Hamm's cleverly wrapped in a paper bag.

"This is so wrong, but it feels so right," one commenter gushed on the Web site.

If you say so.

[h/t to Kowieski for this, via a Facebook status link, and his FB friend Erik for this comment:  "Read the article. I can't imagine going to a bar in a blanket. Your blanket dragging on the sticky beer floor... sick, man."  My thoughts exactly.]
