DULUTH, Minn. (AP) — A Minnesota man has pleaded guilty to driving his motorized La-Z-Boy chair while drunk.
A criminal complaint says 62-year-old Dennis LeRoy Anderson told police he left a bar in the northern Minnesota town of Proctor on his chair after drinking eight or nine beers.

Prosecutors say Anderson’s blood alcohol content was 0.29, more than three times the legal limit, when he crashed into a parked vehicle in August 2008. He was not seriously injured.
Police said the chair was powered by a converted lawnmower and had a stereo and cup holders.
Doesn't this seem like at least the 10th story about a drunk guy who augmented some type of seat into a motorized vehicle. I think this has to be the most exciting form of one-upsmanship since the Space Race. The only fallback is that most of these guys probably aren't quantum phsyicists. Its too bad Albert Einstein wasn't a drunk.
I also liked how they have to point out each time one of these guys drives these machines that he's drunk. No shit he's drunk. Who would drive a motorized Lazy Boy sober? That'd be ridiculous.
