It isn't very often that my hometown appears in the news as sleepy rural Ohio doesn't often attract attention, but today is different! We've made headlines when Kile Wygle of Newark, Ohio was arrested for drunken driving ON HIS MOTORIZED BARSTOOL! Mr. Wygle confessed to police afterwords that he had consumed 15 beers and took the barstool for a spin only to have a minor crack-up for which he was arrested.
I don't know what it is about Newark, but we do seem to be devout beer drinkers. Most people climb on a barstool and then have 15 beers. Mr. Wygle does it the other way around.
While I don't know Mr. Wygle personally, I hope that everything turns out for the best for him and that he doesn't get Judge Frost who is our local version of Judge Roy Bean.
Sometimes it's just good to see to ol' home town in the news again.

A special thanks to $teve at The Eclectic Eccentric for the "heads up" on the barstool story, not to mention his excellent coverage on the "Price Of Beer In China"
It has always been a dream of mine to get pulled over on a barstool.
ReplyDeleteI think they invented them in this neighborhood. I have seen some strange vehicles here....but not one of those bad boys yet.

I am totally, unbelievably envious of you having a local connection to that story.
ReplyDeleteI am seriously thinking of proclaiming Ohio to be the Florida of the midwest.
I so want one of them !!
ReplyDeleteWow, I saw that news story but had no idea it was in the back yard of Flan & Doc! I feel that much closer to God now.
ReplyDeleteFirstly, I live for the day when "deconstruction" is used in it's proper definition instead of merely meaning "analyze" or "taken apart."
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, I gotta wonder, though. Between motorized bikes, bar stools, soap box racers and lil' draggers, most of the Midwestern population can be classified as driving drunk on SOMETHING that has wheels. What exactly did he run into? A phone pole? The side of his house? Sheesh...
(yeah, I'm jealous...)
You're just jealous because you don't have a motorized bar stool
