oops i accidentally made it personal (surm), Wednesday, 25 November 2009 01:49 (sixteen years ago)

sheriff's deputies approached Christgau, who was standing next to a Ford Escort with an open beer can on its roof. Christgau admitted driving the car with his grandson "hanging on the luggage rack on the roof." A witness, who pulled Christgau from the vehicle and held him until deputies arrived, told investigators that the child's legs were "hanging down the windshield." After failing a series of field sobriety tests, Christgau took a Breathalyzer test and registered a blood alcohol content of 0.14, nearly twice the state limit.

i yearn for a new america
where an xgau can donut free
little legs a-dangle in the wind
hold on son while i pop a fresh one
