    Oh hell yeah! Sounds like the makings of an epic country song




    Country star Randy Travis had another brush with the law Tuesday night after he was arrested on suspicion of driving while intoxicated.

    Travis was popped around 11:59 p.m. with minor cuts and bruises after crashing his car in Texas, TMZ reports. No other vehicles were involved in the crash.

    The 53-year-old crooner was also apparently showing a bit too much of his Honky Tonk Moon: Travis was naked when cops arrived at the scene and was given clothing to wear for his mug shot, according to the site.

    Police were called to the scene of the accident at 11:18 p.m. after a person reported a man lying in the middle of the road.

    Upon arrival, police found that Travis' 1998 Pontiac Trans Am had driven off the road and crashed into barricades that were located in a construction zone.

    In addition to the suspected DWI, Travis was charged with "retaliation" because he threatened to shoot and kill the troopers after he was placed inside the cop car, the Grayson County Sheriff's office told TMZ.

    He is currently in police custody.

    Tuesday's incident marks the second time the singer was arrested this year alone.

    In February, Travis was arrested in Texas on suspicion of public intoxication after police found him sitting inside his car in front of a church with an open bottle of wine and smelling like alcohol.

    Of course, I could be wrong. Make a case for why, if you like.

    I just replaced some of the words in the Dean Werner Animal House quote and posted it. I didn't even really read it until now.

    You might be on to something, that does sound like a perfect weekend.

    Great catch. Should be left in jail.
    On a given day, a given circumstance, you think you have a limit. And you then go for this limit and you touch this limit, and you think, 'Okay, this is the limit.' As soon as you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further.

    ...and here is a story link from the same page:

    http://www.nydailynews.com/life-styl...icle-1.1116995

    “I hadn’t had sex in three years, but we did it six times!” she told the magazine, adding they now make love between two and seven times per day. “He took charge as I couldn’t move much, but he was so attentive.”

    Though their relationship is long distance at the moment - Potter lives in California while Alex is in Arizona - he has made extended trips to see her so they can continue their marathon sex sessions.

    “I can’t move much in bed, but I burn 500 calories a session. It’s great exercise just jiggling around,” she told the magazine. “My bed is strengthened and, although I can’t buy sexy lingerie, I drape a nice sheet over me.”

    “It’s hard to position her and find her pleasure spots as she has a lot of fat in the pelvic area,” he told the magazine. “But it turns me on knowing she’s satisfied. Although once, when she got on top, I couldn’t breathe.”

    So, the thing that bugs me about this story is that it just says "...in Texas." Like... where the hell in Texas? It's not like it's a tiny state.

    Who's burning more calories: Her just jiggling, or Alex poking around for 45 minutes wondering if he has found the right fold?

    I wouldn't be surprised if he's actually never found it*, and she's too nice to say anything.


    *I just read that they have one kid, so he found it at least once.

    At least I had pants and sandals on. Sounds like he should have been "Diggin' up clothes"

    But seriously, I hope he gets help, he's had a lot to deal with in the last few years. Divorce and country singers spells disaster, hopefully my favorite voice in country music will get his feet back on the ground.

    My gf rode in an elevator with him and his wife and had a short conversation. From that brief interaction, she swears his ex-wife was a beard.
