Scooter Crime Hits America’s Best Store

by Jack Stuef  

HUNTINGTON — A man and woman are charged with stealing a motorized shopping cart from Wal-Mart and driving it to and from a neighboring strip club early Monday morning.

This is not about West Virginia. This is about the OBAMA ECONOMY. And this is Obama making cuts to the scooter parts of our Medicare so he can fund this brand-new SOCIALIZED MEDICINE crap. [Huntington Herald-Dispatch via Wonkette operative "Liz"]

Clearly she's a liberated woman, because a) she staggered walked behind the scooter while he drove, and b) they were headed to a shimmy joint.

Boones Farm Room!

And now on the Main Stage, give it up for Annie Green Springs!

Krugmanic Depressive November 16, 2010 at 3:44 pm

At long last, an explanation for those wire baskets on the front. First, you fill em with $1s, then you "Make it rain!"

CrankyLttlCamperette November 16, 2010 at 3:44 pm

Oh sure, the shopping cart wheels lock as soon as you pass the Maginault Line, but the scooters can go on forever…?

In my mind, I am seeing The Tubes video for "She's a Beauty" with a rascal replacing the ride's car.

Monsieur_Grumpe November 16, 2010 at 4:31 pm

I love The Tubes. A hundred Pee points on you.

GuyClinch November 16, 2010 at 7:31 pm

Old much?

(Okay, I'm old too)

sezme November 16, 2010 at 11:42 pm

Is being old how you guys get that many pee points?

Monsieur_Grumpe November 17, 2010 at 8:53 am

Define old.
I actually went to an outdoor Tubes concert last year in Wisconsin. They still sound great, I got the original members to autograph some CDs and talked with Fee about his playing Dr Frankenfurter in a dinner theater where I used to live in Michigan. Good times.

MissTaken November 16, 2010 at 7:59 pm

She'll give you every penny's worth, but it will cost you a dollar first

ShaveTheWhales November 17, 2010 at 1:22 am

Walmart Punks on (argh, I can't think of a scooter brand that starts with "D").

Nevamind.

This guy would have to be the most uncomfortable lap dance EVER!

Gopherit November 16, 2010 at 5:25 pm

You can't get a lapdance when you have no lap. Best he'd get is a $20 jiggle.

SorosBot November 16, 2010 at 3:51 pm

They're very slowly getting away!

not that Dewey November 16, 2010 at 7:06 pm

Bogie too slow for intercept. I recommend we get out and walk.

lotusflwr November 16, 2010 at 3:55 pm

Driving it to AND FROM a strip club??! I guess they wanted to pick up their OxyContin prescription and a big bag of Great Value Chicken Strips to put a nice finish on such an enchanted evening/early morning.

mumbly_joe November 16, 2010 at 4:13 pm

Oh, no, sir- this is very much about West Virginia.

indecencycmdr November 16, 2010 at 4:18 pm

stealing a motorized shopping cart from wal-mart: awesome.
driving it to the strip club: awesomer.
"early Monday morning"?!? i applaud you gentleman and lady. good on you.

lumpenprole November 16, 2010 at 5:50 pm

So much awesome in one sentence. Is this how it feels to read great journalism?

GOPCrusher November 17, 2010 at 5:40 pm

And people say that nothing good happens after midnight. I disagree!

chascates November 16, 2010 at 4:18 pm

Since we now have 'plus-sized' caskets and hospital beds the newest scooters will probably have a half-ton capacity and double wide seats. Kind of like a pickup but for indoors.

CapnFatback November 16, 2010 at 4:25 pm

Put 'em on the chrome!

BornInATrailer November 16, 2010 at 4:29 pm

I hope there was a ramp to the Champagne Room.

GuyClinch November 16, 2010 at 7:35 pm

More like "Champale" Room. The pink kind puts a capital K in "Klassy"!

outragedcitizen November 16, 2010 at 4:32 pm

Oh, my God, I would hate to see the strip clubs where you live. The WalMarts in my area look like the try-outs for "Biggest Loser".

Monsieur_Grumpe November 16, 2010 at 4:40 pm

It is normally not a big problem until someone in the meat department gets a dollar stuffed in an inappropriate location.

Rarian Rakista November 16, 2010 at 8:24 pm

We had a super fatty get trapped in the bathroom stall at a local Walmart. I went there for a gallon of OJ and some Chips and ended up sitting in line with other people –all with mouths agape –listening to a grown man cry, scream and bang things really hard trying to get out of his shit-stained hell.

problemwithcaring November 17, 2010 at 3:13 pm

You know, I blame myself for reading Wonkette during my lunch hour. Will I ever learn?

SorosBot November 16, 2010 at 4:39 pm

The weird thing is, these two are in their mid-30s and normal sized (shocking for West Virginia), so they shouldn't really need a scooter; but based on the booking photos they were probably too drunk and/or stung out on meth to walk straight.

BornInATrailer November 16, 2010 at 5:09 pm

I'd like this story to end with the them being a couple that both work weekend 3rd shift and out on a serious bender. No sad tale, no meth, just a couple of 'normal' people that got beyond tanked and thought driving a scooter to the titty bar was funny. Because it is.

Then these two become my heroes. Sadly, I suspect there is a tale of woe to be found.

GuyClinch November 16, 2010 at 7:38 pm

Let's face it: these two were probably wonketteers on a road trip, just having fun, knowing that we would praise their adventures.

DashboardBuddha November 16, 2010 at 10:14 pm

I would totally steal a scooter for you folks.

ttommyunger November 16, 2010 at 4:45 pm

"Why am I driving drunk, Ossifer? Because I'm too fucking drunk to walk, thass why." Scooters, Walmart, theft and titty bars. Yup, that's my America.

edgydrifter November 16, 2010 at 4:56 pm

Gone in 60 Minutes–worst action movie ever.

sarjo November 16, 2010 at 5:22 pm

No way, dude! It's "The Wide Ones," a scooter-borne remake of the Brando classic.

DashboardBuddha November 16, 2010 at 10:13 pm

I have to say this…I, I love you all.

Gopherit November 16, 2010 at 5:27 pm

Too drunk to walk to the strip joint? I highly doubt these were west virginians. Must be from ohio.

Bonzos_Bed_Time November 16, 2010 at 5:38 pm

At least they were car-pooling/scooter-sharing. That lets them use the HOV lanes.

Bonzos_Bed_Time November 16, 2010 at 5:41 pm

I see how Ms. Stevenson has the TB.

Wonder how that happened?

UpstateYorkee November 16, 2010 at 6:48 pm

If this is wrong, then I don't want to be right.

donner_froh November 16, 2010 at 8:47 pm

"Both suspects appeared to be intoxicated from drinking alcohol, according to the complaints and incident report."

appeared to be intoxicated from drinking alcohol–The Huntington, WV police department really doesn't like it when officers make too many assumptions when reporting.

These are the stories we will miss when newspapers finally die.

At "Scooters" the stripper's scooters have the new, Medicare approved, pole dancing attachment.
