Dispatch: You behind them?

Dispatch: You am them?
Mary Strey: Yes, I am them.
Who's on first?

It's actually kind of sad. At least she called for help.

"I am," I said
"No, I am Them...
And I am lost, and I can't even say why"

I drink, therefore, I am them.

We have met the enemy, and I am them.

D'oh!
I am him, too, it seems.

did she ask if there was a reward?
Posted by: insomniac | November 02, 2009 at 04:01 PM
i dunno, sounds more responsible than some of the crap i did when i was... wait, she was 49?
nevermind.

Gotta admire her honesty.

I am so terribly disappointed that neither this story nor the version I sent in had audio of the 9-1-1 call. My mind, however, is reading the 9-1-1 operator's lines in Sir Alec Guinness's voice: "You want to stop right now."

This may seem awful, but I hope they go easy on her. She knew she was @#%^ up and turned herself in. It might be cheaper than a cab ride in Wisconsin. I know here in Kansas finding a cab is impossible, because they don't exist outside of metro areas. In Wichita, you call for one and you are at their convenience. I say good for her for taking herself off the road. Wish more could recognize the same conditions.

What shellinoz said. I agree. Thank goodness she had the good sense to stop before she hurt herself or someone else.

Too bad she couldn't have parked the car and called for help then.
And, Meanie, I just got home, so thanks for upholding the tradition.

"brandy and Cokes"
This woman is a disgrace to cheeseheads in every way. First, she can't even drive drunk, which most of us learn before we learn to drive sober, and then she mixes brandy and Coke in public.
Diva? Any room left down in Illinois? I'm thinking about skulking down there in shame.

Let this be a lesson about drunk-dialing.
"Wait a sec - I called WHO last night?"

*would like to point out that he did not pass through Cincinnati until 5pm on Sunday*
*and that he has multiple Florida ID's, including the driver's licence*

Hey Prad, brandy is the
requiredofficial drink of Wisconsin... the coke is forgivable I suppose.Posted by: Tash | November 02, 2009 at 09:51 PM
Tash, you had it right the first time. I don't even like the crap and I get a couple brandy old-fashioned's shoved down my snoot a year. The biggest faux pas possible is spilling brandy on your Packer jersey.

Did I miss out on the introduction of the word "Heene" into our everyday vocabulary? All I can find is this:
Heene is a neighbourhood of the Borough of Worthing in West Sussex, England. It lies on the A259 road 0.6 miles (1km) west of the town centre.
Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

"Heene" is the name of the Colorado father who allegedly craved fame so badly that he allegedly staged a phony drama wherein his 6-year old son was supposedly set adrift in a homemade hot-air balloon.
I've not seen the name used in this manner elsewhere, but apparently judi has an anatomical feature in mind.

Is it possible to butt-dial 911?

MTB:
Excellent use of the word "allegedly" to keep the blog out of court.
Posted by: Cheesewiz | November 03, 2009 at 09:29 AM
Sheesh, if you're that tipsy, let the big rabbit drive. That's what he's there for.
It's sleazy, being Heene.

Brandy and Coke? Uh...well. That sounds as bad as Scotch and Coke that I had once by accident. I mean, I made it on purpose but it sure turned out to be an accident once I tried it.
No wonder she turned herself in. She needed to wash her mouth out.

Mr Lit-up-Breathalizer was released to the custody of his GIRLFRIEND???
Posted by: oneblankspace | November 03, 2009 at 05:13 PM
Check out the comments on the original story of Mr. Breathalizer's brush with fame. His girlfriend (alleged) wrote in to explain his behavior. Let's just say alcohol was involved in his escapades on the streets and hers on the web.
