Prove it wasn't a unicorn, smarty.

You know you're running low on excuses when this is the best you can come with.

Man Tells Cops Unicorn Caused Crash
(AP) BILLINGS, Mont. A man told police not to blame him for crashing his truck into a light post - it was that unicorn behind the wheel. Prosecutor Ingrid Rosenquist said Phillip C. Holliday Jr. initially denied driving the truck involved in the March 7 crash in Billings. He told officers at the scene that a unicorn was driving, she said.

Holliday, 42, pleaded not guilty Tuesday to felony charges of criminal endangerment and drunken driving.

A pickup truck drove through a red light and nearly struck another truck in the intersection, according to court documents. The driver then made an erratic U-turn through a gas station, crossed the street and crashed into a light pole. Nobody was injured.

Holliday has five drunken-driving convictions. District Judge Gregory Todd kept his bail at $100,000 despite his lawyer arguing that Holliday's last such conviction was 14 years ago.

You mean to tell me that a small mythical creature was driving erraticaly and smashing into light poles? That can't be good.

In a completely unrelated note, while I was searching for "Holiday" pictures, I did come across this little gem which doesn't fit the post, but does fit the blog.

Back in the day, I use to work at a local gas station in my little home town (which is now a Holiday station). The gas station had this stupid big fake walleye or bass or something outside of it. It was just some hokey concrete fish thing. Supposedly caught by Paul Bunyon, blah, blah, blah.

People would take pictures of it on their trips, which we all thought was just stupid. I mean, it's just a fake fish.

Well, in my search, I came across the photo:



I shudder in memory of working there.
