SODDY-DAISY, HAMILTON COUNTY (WRCB) – Police say a Soddy-Daisy man tried to burn down the house because his mom wouldn't take him on a beer run.
Edward Cothran is charged with aggravated arson.
His mother says her son had been drinking all day Sunday, and asked her to take him to the store for more beer.
She wouldn't, and says he knocked over a propane heater, catching the carpet on fire.
She eventually took Cothran to the store, but decided to call police when she got home.
Cothran told police the heater fell over on its own.
I have just the place for you: Fish Lake Valley, Nevada
“...and So Teddibly Soddy.”
ROFL!
Which leads to the question:
Is drinking beer a sin?
And the answer is, normally, yes, except in the case of Guinness which is a sacrament and actually deducts sins from your account.
Shermy made up the "Soddy Daisy" thing.
He is thorough, though. He even did a Go-Daddy website

It's kinda like that "Farmville" thing on Facebook.
Unfortunately, Marron, I am more of a Smithwicks man. Perhaps I can aspire to Purgatory, whilst the stronger Guiness souls soar past, straight to the big Brewery in the Sky.
I instantly thought,“Sod off, Swampy.”
Well you know..... My mom can get a little cranky too you know.
Soddy Chawlie - I didn’t know about Shermy’s recent shenanigans.
He is always thorough, though. He even has a lot of twitter hits for Soddy Daisy, LOL.
Remote, difficult of access, families that go way into the mists of history, and play some mean banjos, fiddles, etc, whilst singing the “auld tyme” songs? Modern technology still under suspicion? Maybe even a snake-handling church (just for local color, mind you, I hate snakes with a passion)? All of this having a certain branch of “southern” flavor? I guess I need a Time Machine rather than a map, LOL.
I know hat you mean! My ancestors lived in the “hollers” of western Virginia in the 1700s and early 1800s. Now we are in the rural, vast mountains and deserts of the West.
She should have made the beer run.
It’s her own damn fault the house is now burned down. I hope she’s happy with herself! :^)
Parents these days...
Did you take a look at Dayton Tennessee?
It’s about a half hour drive NE of Soddy-Daisy. I liked it - although I have to admit it has been 10 years since I was last there.
Yes, not many people can drink that much beer and still be coordinated enough to knock over a propane heater.
Misleading thread title... poor abused child.
All he wanted was another bah-bah (or 2, or 3, or a 12 pack) then back to bed like a good little boy!
“Trailer Park Boys’’! Rick, Julian and Bubbles. Great show. I don’t know what happened to it either. I loved the “Bible Pimp’’ episode!
