America's favorite cartoon mouse has joined Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan in the pantheon of celebrity DUI arrests, Sacramento County Sheriff's Department arrest records show.
On Jan. 24 within the span of an hour, the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department arrested Mickey Mouse twice on charges of driving under the influence and once for driving on a revoked license, according to records.
Sheriff's Department spokesman Sgt. Tim Curran was surprised to hear of the arrest.
"I don't know how that got in there," he said. "When trainees learn to use our system, they put that (name) in. ... It's one of the names we can use without getting in trouble."
In the arrest log, Mouse is described as a 47-year-old African American man standing 5-feet, 9-inches and weighing 190 pounds.
Mickey Mouse is also listed a resident of Anaheim and is employed as a bartender, according to arrest records.
Jail records indicate Mouse also goes by the aliases "Buzz Lightyear" and "Donnie Duck" and was arrested on felony drunk driving charges in 2005.

Like Looking In a Mirror
Sadly the above picture very nearly captures the essence of the Squid and Maynard friendship through high school and into college. I would be Butt-head (the braces and the big nose and the poofy hair were all me circa 1986). Squid is Beavis, and the cigarette, pissy look and moments of confusion and random violence were all he circa 1986 (though squid was slightly smarter than Beavis to be fair).The similarities insofar as Squid relates to Beavis were amazing. And while Squid did not do things as potentially stupid or as life-threatening...there are still strong resemblances.
Consider the following video and read the "liner notes" below for a list of Squid/Beavis parallels (heretofore called SB's):
SB 1 @0:28: Squid was a fascinating creature for kids and animals. This was especially true of toddlers who literally crawled all over him like a jungle gym. And in truth, Squid did speak ther language.
SB2 @1:05: I freely admit I embarrassed my fair share of classmates by poking fun at their appearance deficits (she has no ass, etc). But Squid could be downright ruthless, especially to the 6 to 10 crowd. Just as Beavis destroys Stewart's reputation, Squid likely did the same on at least two occassions of memorable note. One was when he told some young kid to stop playing around the enormous bags of dogfood, for if he didn't the bags would fall and crush the kid and then Squid would get all his x-mas presents. The second was his short but vigorous argument with an 8 year old who loved the ninja turtles. Squid, like a true sophist, informed this poor kid that turtles exposed to toxic waste die rather than turn into mutants. Classic!
SB3 @1:35: Some oif Squid's best moments involved standing up...sometimes twice in a row.
SB4 @2:10: That is definitely how I fix toilets and while squid never hit me with a shovel he did try to satb me with a samurai sword one night.
SB5 @ 3:00: Squid was easily distracted by moving power meters but never had trouble throwing up...ever.
SB6 @ 4:00: Money and chicks, and beer and cigarettes were always on our list of wants and needs as they were so hard to come by...especially chicks.
SB7 @ 4:30: Squid's reaction could be impaired and sadly, his cranium did take a lot of abuse from blunt force trauma (such as headbutting lcokers and getting bonked by grocery totes).
SB8 @ 5:40: Squid always wore shades.
SB9 @ 6:00: The best part of homework was not doing it...yet somehow squid graduated high school early.
SB10 @ 6:30: While we rarely played ding dong ditch, urinating on a front porch was not beyond our sense of good etiquette.
SB11@ 7:50: Squid, while at times a model employee as a bag boy, did, on several occasions, find himself under interrogation by The Man, answering such questions as, "Do you know who threw that snowball off the store roof at customers?" Or, "Who left all those beer bottles in the parking lot last night?".
SB12 @ 10:00: Squid was spot on making fun of our principal...and virtually all figures of authority in our school.

Dust to Dust
This is some cool video of a German colonial town in the desert of Namibia. Back in 1908 the place boomed due to the diamond rush but fizzled out by 1938. By the mid 1950's the town was abandoned and is now being reclaimed by the desert.

Megatron Arrested for Drugs
An unemployed man of no fixed abode pleaded guilty in Wellington District Court today to importing LSD and Ecstasy.
Judge Denys Barry remanded Megatron Eardley-Wilmot in custody for sentencing in the High Court on February 22.
The offences were committed between 2003 and 2005.
Maynard Says: Wow! So in the past year Landocalrissan, God Supreme, and Megatron have all run afoul of the law. I love it when geek parents name their kids after action figures...Friday, January 25, 2008

Rest in Peace Clown Prince: Heath Ledger -- 1979 to 2008
Man this sucks. I first saw Ledger in The Patriot. Jen absolutely L_O_V_E_D him in A Knight's Tale (which due to her lust for the man means I have seen that movie like 50 times). Over the years we have seen him in a few other movies and he seemed to take on both unconventional and daring roles that may not have lit the box office on fire, but he never put in a bad performance. While Broke Back Mountain may have been his critical role, I really think that his turn as the Joker might really have put him on the map as a mainstream star, much like Brandon Lee might have been following The Crow.By all accounts he was a genuinely nice man both on and off the set and his dedication to his craft really made him a little special in Hollywood at this time. Here we deal with the loss of a father and role-model (one of the few postives out there) and I for one shall mourn his passing.
First Brandon Lee and then Heath Ledger. But we still somehow have Paris Hilton and Britney Spears.
