La-Z-Boy Recliner.... all tricked out




Duluth, Minnesota – Dennis Anderson, 62, was sentenced Monday after pleading guilty to DUI charges.
According to police reports, Anderson was arrested in Proctor, MN in August 2008 by local deputies when he was caught operating the motorized recliner while under the influence.
The Proctor Police Department say Anderson left a bar in Proctor in his La-Z-Boy, which is equipped with a radio, headlights, cup holders, and is powered by a lawn mower engine, after having eight or nine beers. A woman jumped on to the chair, at which point Proctor lost control and ran in to a parked car. His BAC was more than three times the legal limit.
Anderson was sentenced to 180 days in the St. Louis County jail and fined $2000, plus court fees. However, the judge stated she would commute the jail time and half of the fine provided Anderson complete two years of supervised probation and be electronically monitored for 30 days. He must also concede to random drug testing and complete a chemical dependency program.

How much for the La-Z-Boy???? I want to buy it.

Respect your elders!


The following is an unexcerpt from the New York Times Bestseller Blessed Unrest. The perseverance of this Inuit tribal elder is jaw dropping. I hope you enjoy this is as much as I did....."The tenacity of of indigenous cultures and their dedication to place is stunning. My favorite Wade Davis story concerns an Inuit elder. When Canada tried to force the Inuit into encampments on Baffin Island in the 1950s. one Inuit grandfather would have nothing to do with it. 'The family took away all of his weapons and all his tools, hoping that would force him into the settlement. Did it? No. In the middle of an Arctic night with a blizzard blowing, the old man slopped out of the igloo into the darkness and simply pulled down his caribou hide and sealskin trousers and defacated into his hand. As the feces began to freeze he shaped it in the form of a blade. As the shit took shape he put a spray of saliva along one leading edge to create a sharp edge. When the implement was finally created from the cold, he used it to kill a dog. He skinned the dog and used the skin of the dog to improvise a harness and used the rib cage of the dead dog to improvise the sled, harnessed an adjacent dog, and then with shit-knife in belt disappeared over the ice flow.' The elder returned alive and well in the spring. Forty years later, the Canadian government relented and returned the Inuit land, creating Nunavut, a territory the size of Western Europe." (p. 101-102)


One bad ass motherfucker.
