Officers were called to the intersection of La Costa Road and Stonybrook Drive in Louisville on Saturday to investigate a vehicle which had found its way into a ditch. Local news outfit WLKY reports …

    WTF

    Is that an IT story at all? IS it worthy of mention here?

    Sometimes, you guys just dont make sense, in such a forum/portal ... whatever you call it.

    There are more interesting stories in US tabloids if you troll enough, then. Just dont foist it uppon us , here in UK.

      Are you new here?

      It was clearly labelled bootnotes!

      In future please avoid the bootnotes or at least please avoid commenting on them.

    3. Just Thinking

      Puzzled by such a large number of downvotes here.

      I know bootnotes don't have to be about IT, and some of the best ones aren't. But this story seems utterly unremarkable.

      Or have a missed something? Any of the downvoters care to explain?

        would not be bootnotes

        wouldn't be a proper bootnote if someone didn't post the it angle question, so to all those who whine about it: STFU!

        1. Just Thinking

          @ AC would not be bootnotes

          Looks like anyone who doesn't agree that this is the most interesting article ever published gets downvoted at the moment. Playing havoc with my averages.

          I really don't get it. It isn't the lack of an IT angle, its the utter pointlessness of the story. Stoned driver says something a bit odd to the Police - yep, they tend to. It is more like something you would read in The Onion (except they use deliberately pointless made up stories for comic effect).

          Ahh, is that it? Went straight over my head.

            It's labelled as a bootnote. It's funny. It cheered up my tea break. I may mention it to a cow-worker. Worthy story.

            Are we introducing some new humour standard, where any bootnote has to score 3.6 or more on the chuckle scale?

      Of course its IT related.

      Its about pizza, which is definately IT geek food; I remember a version of 'the hackers purity test' from years ago asking if you'd ever wish you could download pizza. Of course thats a much less silly proposition these days when some places really do let you order via the web-site, pay with paypal and track the cooking/delivery process online.

      "There are more interesting stories in US tabloids if you troll enough, then. Just dont foist it uppon us , here in UK."

      No, there are more interesting stories in the US tabloids if your trawl them. There are more interesting comments in the comments section if you troll them. Congratulations, you have now experienced both. This is what is known as a homophone (two words which are different but which sound the same or very similar). Have a good day, sir.

        Still stinks for the sheer pointlessness

        Surely, there are better IT angle-less stories abounding around, then. How come The Register UK managed to find THIS ONE in the middle of nowhere in a small town Kentucky place, perhaps reported in a nondescript local tabloid beats me.

        eg Dale farm Travellers/ protestors pitching tent for 10 years , when they are supposed to be "Travellers" because petrol prices hitting them high and road taxes unaffordable.

        OR

        David Cameroon slashed IT budgets and I ended up chewing the innards of my monitor mixed with my lunchtime fix out of sheer frustration.

        OR

        I met Gordon Brown in my dreams telling me he is saving the world and I also got delusional as well thinking about it!

        Paris, becasue even she can make a point or two!

        Could have spiced it up even better.

    Drinkifying snacks

    Thinking about pizzas being turned into a drink... Already been thought of:

    http://www.penny-arcade.com/2011/01/03

    FAIL because of the following quotation from PepsiCo:

    “We see the emerging opportunity to ‘snackify’ beverages and ‘drinkify’ snacks as the next frontier in food and beverage convenience,”

    1. some vaguely opinionated bloke
      WTF?

      Indeed. The opportunities are to "snackificationalize" and "drinkificationalize".

      This is just another instance of corporate disgustingificationalizationizing.

      Pizza in a blender, mixed with beer for consistency, is drinkable but not particularly nice.

    Make mine extra thick

    Texas Toast is a brand name of a particularly thickly sliced white bread, mostly used to mop up gallons of gravy in diners in the southern US. None of which explains why it's used as slang for an opiate substitute.

  5. Michael H.F. Wilkinson Silver badge

    The real question is

    Did he put the pizza or his brains in the blender.

    By bet is on the latter

        Suboxin is definitely NOT bangin at all. Unless you like shit like Methadone. I never used it when I was kicking Roxis and from what I understand it don't work for what they say it does. But then again, trying to kick an addiction by using what amounts to the same chemicals is just stupid if you ask me.

    Beef Shake.

    People with esophagus disorder (or any sort of problem that doesn't allow chewing and swallowing) must inject beef shake straight to stomach. Best served with pineapples, to help digestion. It ain't pretty, but effective!

    It's serious though... some milk-shakes are so thick that are better served with a spoon.

    @"‘snackify’ beverages and ‘drinkify’ snacks"

    This guy was apparently just ahead of the curve, so to speak, (but not the ditch).

    I also like the bit where he said it was a friend ... yeah right, like that will work because they have never heard that one before :) ... its always a friend who does these things. Its not me officer, it was a friend. :)

    So in summary, a man from Kentucky almost cooked his goose after drinking too much pizza and having some Texas Toast. :)

      Drug addicts causing problems

      Most of the problems associated with illegal drugs are due to illegality, as opposed to any intrinsic property of the drugs themselves.

      By the way, we are all born opiate addicts. That warm, fuzzy feeling you get when helping an old lady across the road, that told Ugg the Caveman he was doing something of evolutionary benefit to his species? That is caused by endorphins, your body's own homebrew µ-receptor agonists. Some people are actually able to get an endorphin buzz by deliberately inflicting pain on themselves.

    This story amused me.

    Drug addicts can be very funny on a few occasions, but mainly sad.

    Looks like this poor guy was the horse instead of the rider, as usual.

    I wish him all the best in beating his addiction, good luck pizza-man.

    Can I just explain the Texas Toast reference..

    They are fairly large tablets that are toasty coloured, although more biscuity in my opinion although I am stumped on why the Texas bit was added. Maybe the drugs are just shit in Texas?
