Our own captainfish points us to a story which contains a very valuable life lesson:—Beer and La-z-Boy Recliners are a baaaaad mix!
(Who woulda thunk it?)
The operator of a La-Z-Boy chair converted into a motorized vehicle -- complete with a stereo and cup holders -- has admitted that he crashed the piece of furniture after leaving a bar in Proctor, Minn., extremely drunk.
Dennis LeRoy Anderson, 61, of Proctor, pleaded guilty Monday to hopping on the chair on the night of Aug. 31, 2008, after visiting the Keyboard Lounge, then crashing into a more traditional vehicle in the parking lot. Anderson's blood-alcohol content was 0.29 percent, more than three times the legal limit for driving in Minnesota.
What ever happened to the good old days when a man could happily drunk-drive random home made contraptions into whatever he wanted, anyway?
You Can Have My La-z-boy And Muh Beer As Soon As You Pry Them From My Cold, Dead Hands?
Sounds like a bumper sticker we all need to have. ;)
Well, that broken furniture should be the least of the man's worries, he could have died or killed others by driving drunk. I hope he got his lesson and he'll consider a drug treatment start fixing things, he obviously needs help at this point.

Seriously? For driving a recliner?
You're not by chance ADVERTISING on my Snapped Shot, are you? Because *that's* something that I'd recommend seeking "treatment" for, IYKWIMAITYD.

Go figure.
