Patrick Tribett was arrested in Bellaire, Ohio, in 2005. Police say he had been huffing the fumes from gold spraypaint, and the lower half of his face was golden in his mugshot.

New Martinsville lawyer H. John Rogers says the image has appeared on T-shirts, coffee mugs and even a billboard in Europe.

Occasionally someone does indeed succeed at making a good argument for birth control.

I had one with him shopped into the back of a limo with Obummer but PhotoBucket “disappeared” it.

Rogers says Tribett has been sober for eight weeks and is making progress.

Eight weeks? What a piker ... Ted Kennedy has been sober for over three months now.

Ted Kennedy may have been sober for 3 months now but his Blood Alcohol Content hasn’t dropped a point yet.

‘Abusing harmful intoxicants’....

I wonder, did the paint complain of abuse?

Stupid is as stupid does.

I hope the lawyers and juries laugh themselves silly at this guy.

If he doesn’t want the notoriety, he shouldn’t do something so stupid.

I can’t imagine how he has any lungs left. You’d think the paint would have coated his lungs as well as his face.
