Not a Flori-duh, but it's out of New York and since Florida is like just another county of New York , I thought it deserved inclusion: NEW YORK (AP) — Authorities say a suspected drunk driver head butted a state trooper and his wife threw her shoes and underwear in protest after they were pulled over on Long Island.
New York State Police say Michael and Alexandra Nelson quickly turned belligerent during the 1:30 a.m. Sunday stop on the Southern State Parkway in Hempstead, New York.
Police say 38-year-old Michael Nelson struck the trooper several times while being arrested on a driving-while-intoxicated charge.
His 29-year-old wife was taken into custody after police say she got out of their 2017 Mercedes-Benz and tried obstructing his arrest...
I have to ask....were the shoes and undies just conveniently sitting in the car, like snowballs at the ready in the snowfort? Or did she just haul them off and hurl them at the trooper? And just how intoxicated do you have to be to think that 1) head-butting a cop is going to make a good impression and 2) throwing your unmentionables at the officer is going to help your case. I mean, it's not a heavy metal concert, and he's not taking you home on the basis of your now bare ass hanging out of the car in the frosty air. Baby, it's cold back there!

Nothing says Christmas like drunk drivers head butting state troopers and their equally drunk spouses throwing their undies and shoes at same.

Y'all must have seen this already, but it was literally almost in my backyard: PALM BEACH, Fla. — New dash camera video shows a Ferrari speeding off a dock and into the Palm Beach Inlet.
The video, released by Palm Beach police on Friday, shows an officer talking to the driver of the Ferrari on Wednesday morning....
Everything seems to be okey-dokey. Dude gets back in car, backs up, then shifts into drive and does the Smokey and the Bandit dive right off the dock. Driver survives, quarter-million dollar car a total loss. And the final line of the story is: There's no official word yet on what caused the driver to crash. Um, I don't think we need an official word. Nothing "caused" it. Driver got into car. Driver stepped on gas pedal. Driver put car into the Inlet. I mean, stupidity could have caused it. Or desperation (maybe he found out just how much an oil change costs for one of those). Or anger (divorce action, and judge gave car to his XW, and he decided she could not have it?). Still waiting to find out who he is and why he would use an Italian sports car as a submarine.

I thought of this thread when I heard this on the national news this morning. Florida woman with plastic gun robs mail carrier, rides off on tricycle, cops sayA Florida woman is behind bars after she used a plastic gun to rob a post office truck, then rode away on a tricycle before telling Collier County Sheriff’s deputies that she was God, according to Naples Daily News. Deputies were responding to a Dec. 22 report about a woman who had pointed a gun at people, WINK reported. When deputies located Leida Crisostomo, they said she was “holding a black and silver handgun” while riding a tricycle, per WBBH. According to a sheriff’s office report, it was later determined that the gun was plastic, Naples Daily News reported. Florida woman with plastic gun robs mail carrier, rides off on tricycle, cops say

DUH! All of these are good examples of why this thread and others previous exist. Besides the question of when, where and why the woman's underwear were not on her body, (yikes!)... Have you ever thrown a small article of clothing, such as a washcloth? Under even the best conditions, it doesn't go far. Nor does it have much force. So unless they were dirty (EW!), they aren't likely to leave a mark. Re: woman robs mail truck- Besides the obvious (get away vehicle was a tricycle?!)... A letter carrier was the most lucrative source she could think of? And even if the guy didn't want his ex to get his car... doing something like this is one of the only good reasons I can think of for what he did. My guess is that he incurred additional "charges" for what he did too.
Hopefully none of these people are brain surgeons!

<<My guess is that he incurred additional "charges" for what he did too.>> As of now, no charges filed. Police are looking into whether the dude had "medical" issues. This happened in the town of Palm Beach's jurisdiction, so if the guy was a town resident, police may go to great lengths to protect him. That's how it is among the rich over there. Do dumb stuff and get away with it, if you live there and take care of the right people.

OMG....the end of the year and we are just overloaded with DUH.... PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. — The Palm Beach Gardens police said a driver, who was possibly drunk, ran into one of their patrol cars early Saturday morning...
I'm not sure this even needs a comment. Other than "Hold out your hands and we'll slap the cuffs on, Captain Obvious" that would be about it. TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Sheriff's deputies in Florida have recovered a half-million dollars in stolen Patron tequila. Hillsborough Sheriff's spokesman Danny Alvarez said in a news release that on Sunday night a truck driver hauling the load of tequila had stopped for dinner at the Tampa Truck Stop when he noticed the trailer was no longer attached to his truck. Deputies began searching and found the semi-trailer at a nearby intersection, where they watched four men transferring the cases of tequila to another box truck. Alvarez says that before the deputies moved in, the men had transferred over 20 cases from the fully-loaded truck... And this is what greed gets you...a ride to the pokey, amigos. WTF were you thinking? You had to steal all of it? A couple of cases would have made you the collective life of the party, but nooooooooooooo...you had to take it all.
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla-- A West Palm Beach family is grateful to be alive after they say their refrigerator exploded inside their home Saturday morning. The force was so powerful it caused significant damage in several rooms. Luckily a neighbor heard the explosion and ran inside to help the family get out safely...
I've heard of flatulence-inducing foods and people stuffing too many leftovers in the fridge, but sheesh...maybe they just wanted to end the year with a bang (wah-wah).

And to start the year off right: LAKELAND, Fla. (AP) — A Florida stripper has been charged with threatening a mass shooting. Lakeland Police say 31-year-old Brien Basarich posted about her homicidal urges on social media under the username "taking-lives." According to an arrest affidavit, she said she had a vision of a bar or club with only one entrance and exit and that she planned to purchase an AR-15 "soonish...." Glad you were busted sooner-ish rather than later-ish, Ms. Boobs-For-Brains. Because you're just what our state needs...another mass shooter. Hope there's a stripper pole in hell waiting for you.

And while we're on a roll here...yeah, I know... PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- A car became submerged in the St. Lucie River after it rolled down a boat ramp in Port St. Lucie on Sunday. A witness, Barry Janeway of Port St. Lucie, says the Cadillac sedan rolled down the boat ramp at the River Park Marina in Port St. Lucie and ended up floating into the river. Eventually the vehicle sank completely and deputies with the St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office waited with the owner of the vehicle for a tow truck to retrieve it. Deputies say this was an accident and there were no injuries or foul play. And clearly no parking brake, either. And no common sense.

Not my state, but it should be,,, The Bird Box challenge, based off of Netflix's latest horror movie where citizens must stay blindfolded to stay alive, had a predictable result. Layton police in Utah responded to a crash Monday because a driver covered her eyes while driving. Stupid, right? Naaaaaaah,,,,they call it a challenge for a reason. As in, the brain-challenged are doing it.

The ultimate in piss-off stupidity.... ALM BEACH COUNTY, Fla. -- A Boca Raton woman was arrested for threatening to conduct a mass shooting at a recent memorial service for slain PBSO K9 officer Cigo. Deputies arrested 66-year-old Jill Hoffman after she posted over 100 comments on the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office (PBSO) Facebook page, many of them aggressive and threatening. On December 24, 2018, the Sheriff's Office announced the passing of K9 Cigo, who was killed in the line of duty while attempting to apprehend a wanted fugitive...After the Sheriff's Office announced the memorial service location, "Great venue for a mass shooting. You don't have the sense you were born with." The moron who killed the K-9 is in jail, and with any luck, will face a long, long time in jail for this. And this screwball actually thought it was OK to threaten cops at a funeral for one of their own? Hey lady, they show up armed to these events! And while no one likes to see this kind of thing happen, your online antics are just awful. And you need to be off the streets, and never, ever allowed near a computer again.

And I think this could be a relative of steff: WICHITA FALLS, Tx. — A woman in Texas was banned from a Walmart after employees called police because she was riding an electric cart around the parking lot while drinking wine from a Pringles can. The Times Record News reports that employees called authorities around 9 a.m. Friday and told police the woman had been there since around 6:30 a.m.... I had no idea those electric cars worked that long. And that must be a supersized Pringles can. Auntie Peabrain, is that you?

This lady is mentally ill. I imagine she will be sentenced to a medical facility and released up review of her progress by the judge.

Like you, steff tells some great stories! I enjoy you both. As for the electric cart's lasting ability, from what I understand, they don't last that long. But the Walmart near me keeps MANY available. Perhaps it lasted because it was first thing in the morning?
I'm actually surprised she was able to drive the thing around for so long (2½ hrs) without crashing, or running someone over! Esp with her supersized Pringles can of wine! I drove one ONCE, when I had a broken foot. It was SCARY! hahaha (But I didn't hit anyone.) I have been hit by people driving them more than once. One time, a woman backed into me once, pulled forward, then backed into me a second time, running over my foot! Those things are not lightweight (neither was the woman)! Then she had the nerve to turn and glare at me as she mumbled under her breath and drove away.

oooooh man, if only there was a mugshot! Crazy Aunt S is the lush tho, not Bat shit crazy Aunt P and Aunt S is no where near Texas. We are (eagerly & yet dreading it) awaiting to have one of those viral bitch videos of Crazy Aunt S. We know once she's been kicked out of store & she had "a parking lot altercation" with someone. She was also kicked out of her church, yet my Uncle H is still a deacon there. LOL Man I bet that is one great story that hasn't been told. I haven't shared a ton of stories about Crazy Aunt S because when you got Bat Shit crazy running on the loose it's no comparison. There's a family saying about Aunt S..."she's been a bitch since she was 8". Her only child avoids her like the plague (she literally moved across the country following him after he moved across the country to get away from her). She's not allowed in her son/daughter in laws house after "the Christmas incident". If anyone would be found driving around a parking lot on a scooter drunk, it would be Aunt S. But she'd at least have a wine glass. lol It's just that bat shit crazy spends her time now living in parking lots so she's the 1st choice.
Dear god that was seriously insane sounding as I typed it out. LOLOLOLOL I have a colorful family full of crazy women. My mom's family name starts with an M. Hubby has joked for years about the terrifying M gene that runs in the women. More than once I've heard "your M gene is showing, might want to tuck it away before it gets out of control".

Didn't you put a bunch of pink flamingos on your brother's lawn once, for his birthday?
My DD2 and her husband woke up to pink flamingos in their yard about 8 months ago. - It made me think of you. hahahaha
Right after Christmas, this happened... Again, no idea who. A woman with a full head mask of a bird walked up to their door, faced their doorbell knowing the motion detector would cause it to record, and made a motion like a bird pecking at something. She left a box of hot pockets at their door, then left.
Happened at about 10:30 at night.
They just had the house built and moved in about a year ago and have no clue who did either one. Nothing sinister, just strange. LOL

I did it for my middle brother's 40th a couple of years ago & just did it on Tuesday night for my baby brother's 40th. I also put 100 rubber ducks in his car, confetti everywhere & then filled his car up with balloons.

For anyone that actually wants to make a candy cake, it's not that difficult.
Regular box mix (I used chocolate) & 1 tub frosting (again chocolate)
3-4 king sized Kit Kats 3 large bags m&ms 1 bag recese's pieces.
you do have to dab icing on the kit kat bars to get them to stick & if you don't wrap it in ribbon, they WILL get soft & fall off the cake. I don't frost the cake real heavy because, clearly, candy & sugar overload. If you go with a single layer cake, you can use the "fun sized" kit kat bars instead.
In my family, the cake has been dubbed the "I don't wanna grow up" cake. I make it on the big birthday's. My kiddo's 18th and both of my brother's 40th birthdays. I've never made it for an actual child, but I bet they would lose their minds (in a good way) to get a cake like this. It's definitely not an every day kinda cake.

And in case anyone is curious or thinks to try it, I had 300 balloons and I could have used more. it didn't fill it up as much as I was wanting. He also had a surprise when he went to pop balloons because some of them had confetti added in them. One of his friends helped by using a compressor to blow up the balloons for me that day & hiding them in a room off mom's garage. Kiddo & I rolled in around midnight, snuck in thru the yard & into the garage with some help from mom. I threw ducks in his floorboards, seats & tossed a couple into his trunk so months from now he'll have a "another fucking duck!" moment. Then I used 4 packs of birthday confetti on top of all the ducks. Then we started shoving in balloons. I used another 2 packs of birthday confetti on his hood & the roof of his car. Tied balloons to his windshield wipers and left 1 lone duck in the middle of his hood. A "calling card" of sorts.
Mom snuck the cake & his birthday card (filled with confetti) into the house for me. Kiddo and snuck back out thru the backyard, into the front yard, where we put up the flamingos. All of this was done in about 20 minutes, while he was in the house & awake. He was expecting the flamingos, so he was listening for us. The car was the surprise.
I got the ducks on Amazon. 100 ducks for $38. Balloons from Dollar Tree.

He didn't get angry? Your family must be a lot better natured about things like this, than mine! One year, I was going to put helium balloons in my son in law's car on his birthday. (No confetti and not 300!) When I asked DD2 about it, I was told NO WAY! He will get too mad. I think it's pretty funny. Good idea about the air compressor! I have one, but probably wouldn't have thought of it. This is obviously not your first time at the rodeo!

I threw ducks in his floorboards, seats & tossed a couple into his trunk so months from now he'll have a "another fucking duck!" moment. Then I used 4 packs of birthday confetti on top of all the ducks. Then we started shoving in balloons. I used another 2 packs of birthday confetti on his hood & the roof of his car. Tied balloons to his windshield wipers and left 1 lone duck in the middle of his hood. A "calling card" of sorts.
Mom snuck the cake & his birthday card (filled with confetti) into the house for me. Kiddo and snuck back out thru the backyard, into the front yard, where we put up the flamingos. All of this was done in about 20 minutes, while he was in the house & awake. He was expecting the flamingos, so he was listening for us. The car was the surprise.
I got the ducks on Amazon. 100 ducks for $38. Balloons from Dollar Tree.
He didn't get angry? Your family must be a lot better natured about things like this, than mine! One year, I was going to put helium balloons in my son in law's car on his birthday. (No confetti and not 300!) When I asked DD2 about it, I was told NO WAY! He will get too mad. I think it's pretty funny. Good idea about the air compressor! I have one, but probably wouldn't have thought of it. This is obviously not your first time at the rodeo! Nope, no one gets mad. We have a well established prank history. We're all on alert on April Fool's Day because of my middle brother. he's the one who spent an entire year planning out how to get every single family member in one day of epic pranks. But he does leave me alone on that day now because I got him back in epic fashion the next year (I had his work truck stolen & his even his boss in on it). he was shitting his pants panicking for about an hour, then it took him another 4-5 hours to find where I hid his truck. I had everyone he got the year before in on it & they all had a part in it somewhere. So no, no one gets upset over stuff like this. Balloons & ducks is actually pretty tame for us. lol
