Do you ever misread a headline? eg 'Ohio man seeks trial over getting DU on motorized barstool'

[Jackeens]

I knew things were kinda crazy on DU lately, but I never, ever thought the Mods would allow it get SO bad that posters - whether they be worshipers, haters, or all those in between - would end up heading for court on motorized barstools.

True, some might deserve that fate, but still, I thought it was kind of excessive.

Until I re-read the headline:

'Ohio man seeks trial over getting DUI on motorized barstool'.

An Ohio man says he is seeking a jury trial on a charge of driving under the influence that was slapped on him after he crashed the vehicle he was piloting - a barstool. "It was just an accident. I mean a little minor accident," Kile Wygle, 28, explained.....His homemade vehicle was made from a barstool welded to a small metal frame attached to a five-horsepower lawnmower engine, four wheels and a lawnmower steering wheel....Officers responding to a report of a crash said they found Wygle nursing his injuries and highly intoxicated. According to the police report, when asked how much he had had to drink, Wygle responded, "a lot." He crashed during his attempt at a U-turn while speeding down the street in front of his home....

7. I miss your pie recipes.

Pie and a motorized barstool sounds really good right now.

BTW, your chicken pot pie recipe was a huge hit around here.

8. Well, that is easily fixed......

This one sounds positively delightful.....

Mrs Miggin's Pie Shoppe - Old English Bacon and Egg Pie!

This is such an easy and simple recipe to make, and yet the result is full of flavour, tasty and a real British classic. You will find this pie on the menu in Britain for lunch, afternoon tea, supper, as a snack, for a picnic, in a lunch box and I am also suggesting this recipe would be great for Brunch as well! This is another slightly adapted classic recipe from my trusty Be-Ro Flour cookbook. This can be made ahead and freezes beautifully - defrost overnight, on a cooling rack so the pastry does not get soggy! Please note, this has no spices in it - although I have suggested optional dried herbs. It is a classic, simple British recipe, where good free range eggs and dry cure bacon are the leading lights, along with crisp, shortcrust pastry! Who is Mrs Miggins? She runs that famous Olde English Pie Shoppe in Black Adder - I love that programme!
