Texan Looking to Set DUI Record

July 17th, 2008by Mitch Martin · 1 Comment

I don’t know if the folks over at the Guinness Book Of World Records have a category for most DUIs in a given time frame but if they do I think Robert Hood (not related to Robin) might have just set the record. I have posted several stories here on Tasty Booze in the past about people pulling off the incredible two DUIs in 24 hours which is an accomplishment no doubt but Mr. Hood has decided to take the bar up a notch by locking down a solid four DUIs in the last two weeks. Some people can’t ring up four in a lifetime but Robert here has knocked it down in just two weeks.

If you are concerned that Robert might be stuck in jail upsetting his world record pace you can put your mind at ease. The judge in the case set Robert’s bail at just $2000 so Robert has already posted his 10% and was back on the street on Tuesday.

Woman With “TROUBLE” License Plate Gets Into Some

July 16th, 2008by Mitch Martin · 5 Comments

78083_thumb.jpg

We have had no shortage of idiots with ridiculous license plates lately (BIG GIZ, BEER and ANASLEX) but now we finally have a story about one of these idiots in action.

Elizabeth Ann Kommes, 30, has been rolling around town in car with a license plate that reads “TROUBLE”. I don’t know if this means that she is trouble, has been in trouble or she is planing on causing some trouble. Judging from her past record I would say all of the above. Ms. Kommes is on probation after being caught with 3 pounds of pot and she has 4 DUIs under her belt. Nothing like trying to keep a low profile with an inconspicuous license plate.

Most recently Ms. Kommes was busted with DUI number 5 after people called police to report a drunk woman driving away in a car with a license plate reading “TROUBLE”. True to her license plate Ms. Kommes wasn’t just going to just accept another DUI and head off to prison. Instead she decided to offer the arresting officer $10K and sexual favors. The fine upstanding officer making the arrest declined her offer and as a result Ms. Kommes ended up in more “TROUBLE”.

Google Street View Is In Trouble

July 8th, 2008by J Diggles · No Comments

One of the internet’s most popular sources of candid ridiculousness in the United States may soon face a ban in the United Kingdom before it even launches. The Country’s Information Commissioner is concerned about Google’s privacy policies around taking pictures of unsuspecting Londoners on public streets. Given some of Google’s work recently, maybe the old Commish is right. Then again, there would be a lot less shit for people to post on Digg and Reddit if their was no Street View around. I guess this is why we broke away from England in the first place. First they taxed our tea and now they are trying to tell one of our huge multi-billion dollar corporations that it can’t take free advantage of their citizens and profit from it. What a bunch of dicks.

Some Google Street View moments:

Electric Wheelchair + Beer = DUI?

July 7th, 2008by Baba Ganoush · 1 Comment

Surely the DUI laws vary between states and countries, even more so when it comes to operating non-traditional vehicles, but this story from the UK is a bit ridiculous. The DUI on the Cruzin Cooler is understandable, but what if you are disable and operate an electric wheelchair?

Well, a man with cerebral palsy was cut off after two Budweisers at a pub in England on Sunday because he was in an electric wheelchair and liquor laws kept the bar from serving him a third beer. Also noted, as that the top speed of his electric wheelchair is 4 miles per hour.

The 33-year-old Lee Cook is pissed. This isn’t him in the photo, but if you check out the original story link, you’ll see a well written caption to go with his photo, “Angry: Lee Cook.” That just about says it all.

Hands Free Law + Bluetooth Headset = Productivity

July 4th, 2008by Mitch Martin · No Comments

Just like in California here in the great state of Washington a law went into effect on July 1st that makes it illegal to hold your cell phone in your hand and talk while driving. Yep, that means the number of jackasses wearing bluetooth headsets is going to quadruple within the next week and a half.

On the bright side with both hands free you will be able to get twice as much shit done while driving. As soon as I get my headset charged up I am heading out to make wood flute.

Steep Hill Climb?

July 2nd, 2008by Mike Honcho · 1 Comment

Let’s see here. You’re in what looks like a kickass golf cart/mini-gator and you decide to climb the steepest hill around. First, you roll up to do a little assessment of steepness using minimal power. It’s steep. So you give it a second little test run with a little more power and manage to get your front wheels over what appears to be a fallen tree. Hmmm, still steep. Third try’s the charm, right? So you punch the gas, jump your mini-gator and almost do a backflip, but roll down safely. Damn, that’s a steep hill. Better give it one more shot. No guts, no glory.

Woman Crashes Into Mini Mart, Still Thirsty For Bud Heavies

July 1st, 2008by Mitch Martin · 1 Comment

1988brougham2.jpg

Lynne Rice, 74, drove her 1988 land yacht Cadillac through the front of a convenience store last night causing about $8K worth of damage. Undeterred by her less than orthodox park job Lynne hopped out of the caddy and proceeded over to the cooler case where she picked up a six pack of Bud Heavies. Being the upstanding citizen that she is Lynn proceeded to the counter and tried to pay for her refreshing beverages.

What I am guessing was one pissed off store clerk refused to sell the beer to Lynne and the 5’4” 112 pound women reportedly pushed him as a result of his refusal. Police showed up a few minutes later and Lynne was arrested on suspicion of DUI, big surprise. It’s doesn’t take a huge feat of logic to deduce that someone who can nonchalantly drive through a plate glass window and then go for more beer is probably rolling with a pretty serious buzz.

I would pay money to see the surveillance footage of this. Did this little old lady just climb out of the car like nothing was wrong and head over to the cooler?

Woman (Bus) Driver

I have honestly never seen anyone jump an airport shuttle bus over parked cars before. I don’t understand how the lady didn’t see the slight bend coming.

Respect Your Elders

June 26th, 2008by Baba Ganoush · 1 Comment

It may start with a couple of dudes skating in a park, but then you her a douchebag in his Mercedes almost hit an old lady crossing the street. Sure she’s on her last legs and probably sleeping while standing up, but have a little patience dude. I’m sure we’ve all been slowed down by the elderly in our lives, no reason to blast your horn repeatedly at this sweet old lady though. This guy gets my vote for Douchebag of the Week.

Worst DUI Excuse Ever

June 12th, 2008by Mitch Martin · 3 Comments

You are piss drunk but you need to sober up quick so that your Mom doesn’t find out. Do you:

A) Slam some coffee.
B) Take a cold shower.
C) Sleep it off.
D) Drive it off.

Edward Defreitas, resident genius of Toms River, N.J., chose option D and told police officers about it after he crashed into an ambulance causing it to over turn.

He told them he was driving around until he was sober enough to go home, fearing his mother would know he was drunk.

Oh yeah, Edward is 36 years old. Edward should have either remembered that he had a nut sack and just dealt with his Mom or he should have parked and slept the buzz off somewhere. What kind of jackass blatantly incriminates himself trying to come up with an excuse for the cops?

Man Charged With DWI on Cruzin Cooler

June 5th, 2008by Baba Ganoush · 4 Comments

The Man has struck again. Although TastyBooze was originally all over the Cruzin Cooler a couple months ago, we suggested driving it to parties, not home from them.

Well, that’s what Leslie J. “Bomber” Marr did over the Memorial Day Weekend. After having a couple beverages, he was seen cruisin’ on top of his Cruzin Cooler in Whitehall, New York. Marr was weaving “pulled over” because he was driving on the sidewalk. Although he refused to take a breathalyzer at the scene, Marr faces DWI charges:

Leslie J. “Bomber” Marr, 57, could face felony DWI and aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle charges because of prior arrests and convictions in drinking-and-driving cases, said Whitehall Police Chief Richard LaChapelle. … Marr was charged with misdemeanor counts of DWI and aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, and also was cited for operating an uninsured motor vehicle.

More importantly, the cooler had 14 beers left in it, which was confiscated by the police. Bullshit! Obviously, Marr was on the way to get the party started!

And The Mother Of The Year Award Goes Too…..

June 5th, 2008by Mitch Martin · 1 Comment

16494966_240x180.jpg

Marya Green realized she was piss drunk and shouldn’t be driving herself and her three kids around town. Did she:

A) Let the 8 year old drive.
B) Let the 5 year old drive.
C) Put the 1 year old on her lap and let him drive.

That’s right, the police officer found Marya working the pedals with the one year old in her lap holding the wheel. I can’t even comprehend the logic here. Was she just too drunk to figure out how to strap the kid into the car seat? On the not so surprising side this is Marya’s third DUI. No shit!? I would never guess that a lady who was dumb enough to put her one year old at the wheel would be dumb enough to get multiple DUIs.

Dumbass Of The Week

June 5th, 2008by Mitch Martin · No Comments

sitinthecornerdumbass.jpg

Dumb: Trying to drive a car with a cinder block seat.
Dumber: Trying to drive a car with a cinder block seat and no brake pedal .
Dumbest: Getting out and pushing on the back of the piece-of-shit car to stop it.
Dumbass of the Week: Getting pinned between said piece-of-shit car and a tree.

God forbid the cherry ride get a dent in the bumper.

A 51 year old woman from Hilton Head Island, SC managed to pulled off this act of genius. Apparently driving a car with a cinder block seat is just standard operating procedure for her. The deputies who arrived at the scene said that the car was completely empty inside except for the cinder block and I am guessing the steering wheel.

Moving past the cinder block, how the fuck do you not notice that the car is missing a brake pedal? Maybe I am overly cautious but the first thing I do when I get into a car is put my foot on the break pedal. I would sort of notice if it was missing.

You Might Be Going To Prison If…

June 4th, 2008by Ol Dirty Curty · 2 Comments

bikes.jpg

You might be going to prison if you drive drunk while under the influence cocaine and then proceed to fall asleep behind the wheel and plow into a group of bicyclists while a photographer happens to capture the exact moment of impact and spray the image into the cyber-universe.

“Just 15 minutes in, the third annual Matamoros-Bagdad Cycling Tour in Mexico plunged into chaos when a drunk driver from Texas smashed head-on into the group of riders. 30-year-old Brownsville cyclist Alejandro Alvarez was killed in the accident, while ten other riders were seriously injured.”

This is one of the most fucked up pictures I have ever seen and it will generously contribute to the positive image of America on an international scope.

The asshole is not only in prison, but a Mexican ‘no-condom-no-problem’ prison. AYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!

When Spoiler Happens

June 2nd, 2008by Mitch Martin · 1 Comment

I came across this douche rocket at the Costco near my office.

prelude_spoiler.jpg

Missing front bumper? Check.
Every body panel a different color? Check.
Muffler that sounds like a weed eater? Check.
Ridiculously large aqua colored spoiler? Check.

However, the pièce de résistance was definitely his license plate frame. The camera on my Blackberry Curve couldn’t capture the text (insert FrankTheTank iPhone joke here) but I made sure to write it down.

Yes it is fast and no you can’t drive it

News flash chief. It doesn’t matter how much bullshit you bolt to it nobody wants to drive your shitty early nineties Prelude. At least wait until all of the pieces to the shitty ground effects kit are bolted on and the whole car is one color before you add the douche rocket license plate frame. Even then that doesn’t excuse that ridiculous fucking spoiler.
