After he has a couple more martinis, he won't be afraid to turn around.
I never cared much for the taste of alcohol, but always enjoyed the way it made me extremely clever and oh-so-much better looking.

Say Hello to Bubba

Potter County sheriff convicted in public corruption case
(I'm not going to copy and paste the entire AP news story. I don't want to have to room with Shumate)
Mike Shumate, Potter Co. sheriff, has been convicted of taking bribes in regards to a food service contract for the county jail.
Shumate first gained attention as the man in the Amarillo Crimestoppers TV ads, urging people to call in and report any information they have on crimes. Each segment aired during the ten o'clock news and reported on a recent crime, almost always ending with a shot of a jail door slamming shut and the warning by Shumate that "Bubba was waiting for you.", "Bubba" being a generic term for some badass inmate who would be the wrongdoer's roomie in prison.
Not that I was doing anything to be sent to prison over, but it always made ME want to keep my nose clean and stay outta jail.
It would be bad enough to have to go to prison, but how bad is it for former law enforcement people convicted of felonies and sentenced? *shudder*

UPDATE
Former Sheriff Mike Shumate Sentenced
The numbers:
180 days in Jail / 8 years of probation & community service / Five thousand dollar fine

A Rattlesnake Hunt
No, not hunting FOR rattlers, but a rattlesnake hunting. Successfully.
Sucks to be a mouse.
Edit: Sorry, but it looks like the video has been taken down. It's been so long since I posted it, I forgot the name of it and a quick look around the website where it came from - http://www.thenewsroom.com/ - doesn't show seem to exist as it did when I nabbed the vid. Again, sorry 'bout that.
