this is f-ing great.

The cicadas are singing. And rednecks are fueling up on booze and mounting their lawn tractors. Must be socks-and-sandals weather in Missouri. > As if on cue, yesterday the Joplin Globe in southwestern Missouri reported that police in nearby Carterville arrested a man Friday for driving his lawnmower drunk down the highway. > The accused, 47-year-old James Dennis, was hauled into the station where he blew a .094 Breathalyzer score (.08 is the legal blood-alcohol limit to operate a motorized vehicle in Missouri.) > Carterville police chief William Cline confirmed to the Globe that the arrest was not all that unusual. **“It’s fairly common for people who have been revoked or have a DWI (on their record),”** he said. “If they have to run to the store, they’ll hop on a mower thinking that’s all right.” > Reminds us of our favorite drunk lawnmower yarn of recent years… > That incident occurred last October in the little town of Iron Mountain Lake in eastern Missouri. > Police got a call about a man who’d created a disturbance. When they got to his home, police found the suspect driving down the street on his lawnmower towing a trailer full of beer. On his body was a flask and his blood-alcohol level registered a whopping .115. > Of course, then there’s this famous (and somewhat dubious) video from southern Louisiana – suggesting that drunk lawnmower riding may be more than a Missouri phenomenon. ---
