Jun 13 2008Guy Scores Himself A DWI On Cooler Scooter
Well folks, they finally got me. After months of (relatively) incident free cooler scooting around town, I finally scored my first DWI while doing 13 MPH down the sidewalk.
Leslie J. "Bomber" Marr, 57, was charged with driving while intoxicated and aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle after the police saw him swerving on the street and driving on the sidewalk in his "Cruzin Cooler," Whitehall Police Chief Richard LaChapelle told the Post Star newspaper.Marr's electric-powered cooler was filled with 14 beers and has room for 24 cans and ice, Fox News reported.
These jackasses have the story all wrong. First off, my name is Leslie J. "Mad Bomber" Marr, and secondly, there were only 12 beers left because I slammed two before the cop got out of his car.
Under New York state law, driving any motorized vehicle must be done without alcohol, including motorized coolers. In various states, other modes of transportation in which driving is prohibited while intoxicated include lawnmowers, boats, bicycles, golf carts, wheelchairs and horses.
Wow, no drunk wheelchairing, huh? Why don't we just go the extra mile and make being handicapped illegal too?

OK, now I'm pissed. No drunk 'wheelchairing' Thus making it illegal for those confined to wheelchairs to be drunk...ever. A fate worse than death. If I hadn't already downed my snack pack I would have hucked it at the at this shit-window I call a monitor. I do still have my juice-box but I'm really thirsty...and much calmer anyway. In fact, now that I think about it, wheelers shouldn't be allowed to be drunk as punishment for not having to haul their asses around on foot like I'm forced to do.

Hey Geekologie guy! What's whith the Superficial guy? He's slacking off over there! Maybe you should go over to his cubicle and give him a wedgie.

Wow, Whitehall is next to my old home town in upstate NY and the post star is my local paper there. I'm surprised the cops were taking a break from hassling the guys in the middle of their yard shooting groundhogs with shotguns long enough to bother this guy innocently cruisin down the street...

I think it would be awesome if it came with acessories like a pony keg trailer, mud flap girls and a sticker that says "My Born By Date Expired Five Seconds Ago"

@7, are you sure you weren't involved with this? Did you leave your trailer today?

I'm from Whitehall, and this was a total bullshit bust. Everyone in the town loves this guy, and we were all pissed. Albeit it was funny, still stupid. Love how this small ass town is still getting attention after arresting Trey Anastasio. Good times.
