Awww...
One question - How can a couch cuddle a bear?
And that’s the last time Myron got drunk and trusted his buddies to see him home safely...

A St. Martin, Miss., couple awoke Saturday night to find a drunken stranger asleep on their couch, cuddling a teddy bear, Jackson County Sheriff Mike Byrd said Monday.
“It appears he just walked in the front door of the house,” Byrd said. “He thought he was at his girlfriend’s house in Gautier.”
Christopher Paul Silga, 34, of St. Martin was charged early Sunday morning with trespassing and driving under the influence. He was released Sunday evening a $1,000 bail.
“The homeowners asked him who he was and what he was doing in their house,” Byrd said. “They said he was clearly intoxicated and spaced out.”
They told Silga to Leave, and he drove away in a dark blue Chevrolet Silverado, according to the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies caught up to Silga on Beachview Drive and tried to pull him over.
“He was weaving and jerking the steering wheel to his vehicle,” Byrd said.
At one point, Silga plowed down a row of mailboxes, the sheriff said.
“They finally got him to stop on the corner of North 4th Street and Marina Drive,” Byrd said.
When asked if he had been drinking, Silga responded, “’I’ve been at the Beau Rivage and only had two Crown (Royal) and cokes, but they were big ones,’” according to the sheriff.
Byrd said that Silga refused to submit to a breath analyzer test and was taken to jail.
Quite right.
I was worse than that last Saturday, and it only took a bottle of Scope and a bottle of NyQuill.
(I guess I'm getting old.)
Damn Alabama fans. After a big win I find them all over the place, in the roads, in the pastures snuggling with little Bears.
Goldilocks?
Am I the only to read and think “Timothy Treadwell”?
Some mornings ya just wake up and think, “I gotta make some changes” . . .
A few years back my grandaughter and I were watching television on a Friday night at around 10:00pm when there was this loud noise in the hallway to our front door. When I went to check to see what it was I found a young man nearly passed out on our floor on the inside of our home. I asked him what the thought he was doing and he replied by asking if so-n-so was home (was unable to understand the name). I informed this person so-n-so didn’t live here and he was in the wrong house. He got up, went out the door and stumbled off down the street. I guess I perhaps I should have called LE, but no harm no foul.
I say that was a good call by you.
Sounds like it was just a young guy who had had way too much to drink.
The couple was lucky not to get in trouble for sending an intoxicated driver out on the road.
I saw a really drunk man riding his bicycle home one
night and was so worried he was going to weave into
on coming cars as he went and fell got up went again
I put on my emerg flashers and followed him
home he fell into his yard and
I asked if he was OK.
He came over and said your an angel for
following me like that Thanks. (in a very
slurd voice)
No harm no foul.
My only real concern was that he’d do the same thing at someone else’s home and wind up getting shot - but, apparently he found the house he was looking for - drunks are funny.
Thankfully he didn’t vear into oncoming traffic - and you were watching over him. Angels appear when least expected.
Doesn’t look like this got pinged out to the MS group.
As CDBear (and any real Southern girl) would say...
Bless His Heart...
Thanks for the ping and, yes, that’s exactly what I was going to say!
