AXL ROSE MEETS BO DEREK
what on earth is he doing with the cornrows and beads? I expect to see him running down the beach in a bikini at any moment, Bolero blaring, head clanking like a dang wind chime. With all those beads he might very well knock himself out....and that might not be a bad thing! I'd hate to be behind him at the airport going thru the metal detector. Mr. Rose, we're going to have to ask you to remove your head.

THE CASE OF THE TIPSY TODDLER
---local6.com
A mother in New York is suing an Applebee's restaurant after her 5-year-old son was allegedly served a Long Island Iced Tea instead of apple juice.

Cynthia Pereles said she took her son Seth to dinner at the franchised restaurant in Battery Park City and ordered him an apple juice.

Pereles said she did not realize her son was drinking a concoction of white rum, gin, vodka, triple sec, Coke and sweet-and-sour mix until it was too late. The boy's eyes became glazed and he began to laugh uncontrollably, according to a report.

When you're looking at your 5-year-old and you're asking him, quiet down Seth, sit still and you see that mentally and physically he cannot comply with what you're asking him to do because he is under the influence," Pereles said.

The boy was taken to the hospital and doctors found alcohol in the child's blood.

Pereles said the restaurant admitted the mistake but she is still suing for $75,000.

A manager at the restaurant declined comment.
Perhaps the umbrella in the drink should have tipped her off?

MAYOR BARRY TO STAR IN COKEHEADS REVISTED

WASHINGTON (AP) - District of Columbia Councilman and former Mayor Marion Barry is not talking about reports that he failed a court-ordered drug test in November, but his attorney took issue Wednesday with parts of what was reported.

The Washington Post reported in Wednesday's editions that Barry, 69, tested positive for cocaine following an Oct. 28 guilty plea to misdemeanor tax charges. The paper also reported that Barry's attorney encouraged him to undergo drug treatment before his Feb. 8 sentencing.

"I have made no contact with the court about this issue," said Frederick D. Cooke Jr., who is representing the former four-term mayor in the tax case. He denied taking any actions to prevent Barry from being jailed for violating the terms of his pre-sentence release.

Cooke said he would "address any of these issues to the extent they need to be addressed in court" next month.

Barry refused to address the issue Wednesday as he was discharged from Howard University Hospital, where his doctors said he had been treated the past two days for diabetes and high blood pressure. He declined to say whether he was in recovery from drug abuse.

"I didn't wish these things on me, I wish I didn't have them," he said
No, you brought these things upon you. Unfortunately, you decided to take the city of half a million plus people which you presided over as dictator with you. thaaaannkkss.

CAUSE OF DEATH: BENIHANA FLYING SHRIMP
---wcbs880.com
MINEOLA, Long Island (AP) The family of a 43-year-old Long Island man is seeking ten million dollars in damages, claiming he died months after ducking a flying shrimp tossed by a hibachi chef at a Japanese steakhouse.

Attorney Andre Ferenzo said in opening statements in state Supreme Court yesterday that Jerry Colaitis of Old Brookville wrenched his neck when he ducked to avoid the shrimp tossed by a chef at a Benihana restaurant in Munsey Park.

Colaitis died months later from complications caused by neck surgery he required afterward.

The incident occurred in January 2001. Colaitis went to a chiropractor and three neurosurgeons, and underwent surgery at NYU Medical Center in June, 2001. There were complications and he had numbness in his arm.

On November 21st of that year, Colaitis checked into St. Francis Hospital in Rosyln with a 105-degree fever.

He died the next day.

Charles Connick, a lawyer for Benihana, contended it was unlikely a chef who works for tips would toss food at customers after being asked not to, as Ferenzo claimed.
Okay this resteraunt is in NYC too? Coincidence, I think not. But they are so sophisticated there. Hey, no one here in the corn belt gives your kids long island iced teas(except on holidays) or trys to kill you with flying shrimp(corn on the cob I would not rule out)
