Freeze, Mister!

Headline: Alleged burglar's car gets stuck in ice
Tarr was arrested Thursday in Scarborough after police received a report of a burglary in progress at a home on Broadturn Road in this southern Maine town.
Well, with a name like Tarr what else could he do but stick to the road? Yet another fine example of the what's in a name argument.

He didn't have a snowball's chance in hell of convincing an officer named Weed, who expected nothing less than the straight dope on things, of anything other than the truth.

I just can't help but wonder if the car was so hot then why didn't the ice melt?

If Tarr had any sense he would've just chipped the ice away, dropped it into a big glass, and poured some bourbon over it because it'll be a long time before he can spread his brand of Christmas cheer anywhere.

In fact, the only thing he ended up spreading that night were his feet.

You are the Master! I think in the "olden days" they would have added feathers to the mix...
