D'Oh! Drinking and Driving

“Starting today and continuing through the week, police forces across the province, including the Surete du Quebec, will step up spot checks for drunk drivers, as the holiday season gets underway.” (The Gazette)

I’m only bringing this up as an intro to say I was a bit shocked at The Simpsons last night that actually showed Homer drinking and driving. Well, sipping and driving, but still, by the time the whole family (and Moe) got to Vermont, Homer the driver, was pissed. It was strange.

Also, in the beginning I found Moe was a little too suicidal to be funny. The whole episode was a bit extreme.

The high point, though, was Homer gargling with maple syrup. Like a soccer ball to the crotch, there’s just something inherently funny about gargling.

You know, I was going to mention that but it was too complicated to tell the whole story.

I still think there is nothing wrong with someone drinking in the car if they are NOT the driver. Stupid law!

as my dad always says, "if you're drinking and driving, make sure you have a car"

Around here you could use a SkiDoo. Drunken, fatal snow-mobiling, a great Quebecois tradition.
