Miller Lite Driver Charged with Drunk Driving

[TellMeI_mNotCrazy]

From the “I couldn’t make this up” files:

State Police say that yesterday afternoon Asher Robbins kicked off his afternoon by striking five vehicles in a parking lot used for construction equipment.

State Police say he then headed southbound on route 85, prompting several emergency phone calls from people about a beer truck traveling erratically on the highway.

State police say that Robbin was swerving in and out of traffic, speeding, running red lights and stop signs and forcing vehicles off the highway, including three school buses.

Thankfully he didn’t hurt anyone.

Sheesh, you’d at least think he’d have the sense to do this driving a truck that carried better beer than [gasp!] Miller.

What’s next? The hostess truck driver getting diabetes?

[sorry, got nuthin’]

And because I don’t feel like starting a new thread, here’s another amusing news bit I came across:

Britain’s Prince William and Prince Harry say they are “delighted” by their father’s **impending ** marriage to his former mistress. Will their mother’s deep dislike for “The Rottweiler” make for an uncomfortable family life?

Well, I’ve never seen impending used for anything positive; usually “impending doom” or “impending demise” and m-w seems to bear this out:

a : to hover threateningly : MENACE b : to be about to occur

Granted the second meaning is less negative but still…

You can get drunk off of Miller Lite?

…how do we know he was drinking Miller Lite?

“Sir, I pulled you over because you were weaving. Do you have any alcohol in the vehicle?”

On Friday nights, singles looking for romance, mindless flirting or just a new friend head over to their neighborhood Wal-Mart where they’re given a big bright red bow to attach to their shopping cart or shopping basket.

Then it’s up to the willing participants to approach one another and take it from there.

But if that’s too intimidating, Wal-Mart has set up “flirting points” around the stores stacked with “romantic” merchandise, such as chocolates, wine and cheese, to help with that first awkward step.

Said Wyatt, "The singles night runs for two hours in the evening, from 6 to 8 p.m. every week. Our managers there told us that its been hugely successful and has actually boosted store traffic and sales in a lot of markets in Germany. In some stores we’re getting 300 to 400 people taking part every week.

I don’t know, there’s really not much to add, so I won’t.

Shit, that was supposed to be its own thread, but fuck it, it fits in well with this one.

I thought you were talking about Rusty Wallace.
