Man arrested for having sex with picnic table

At first I didn't see what the big deal was because it was his table and he was on his own property, but apparently this furniture lover lives near a school and children could have seen him. But a felony for poking a table? Unless some kid actually did see it, they need to give him a warning and leave the man alone. And the neighbor who taped the act is an even bigger freak.

BELLEVUE, OH) -- Police say a man in Bellevue, Ohio was caught on tape having sex with a picnic table.

Bellevue Police Captain Matt Johnson says Art Price, Jr., 40, was seen on four occasions between the hours of 10:30 a.m. and noon having sex with his picnic table. What makes this a felony, Johnson says, is that it took place in close proximity to a school, which made it likely that children could have seen Price.

The neighbor -- who wishes to remain anonymous -- saw Price walk out onto his deck, stand a round metal table on its side and use the hole in the umbrella to have sex.

The most recent instance took place March 14, we're told. A neighbor videotaped Price.

"The first video we had, he was completely nude. He would use the hole from the umbrella and have sex with the table," Johnson says.

Police say Price admitted to the crimes -- four charges of public indecency. Usually these sorts of things are misdemeanors, but in this case, they are felonies.

"What boosts it up to a felony is that the statute says if it's likely to be viewed by a minor," Johnson explains.

The Price family did not want to talk with us, but neighbors did. Some are not happy Price was released on his own recognizance.

"He shouldn't be allowed just for the fact that he could do that again -- and nude that close to a school. That should be zero tolerance," says Brice Jacobs, a neighbor.

Price is married with three school-aged children. Neighbors tell us they're now worried about the kids.

"Hopefully it stays between the adults and the kids don't get a lot of the information so they aren't so cruel to the little kids," says Emily Grote, a neighbor.

This case has police in this small town shaking their heads. "Once you think you've seen it all, something else comes around," Johnson says.

Happy Saturday!!!

Saturday is my favorite day of the week because I can do whatever I want in my own time, or I can do nothing at all. Today, I've been cleaning and listening to music and am about to head out to the park for some cardio since my doctor told me that my fat azz "could stand to lose 20 lbs." Gee, and here I was thinking that I was underweight.

Here are some videos to check out on this relaxing day. The first is Mary J. singing Just Fine live on the Today show with David Gregory performing on the sidelines. That's how I'm feeling today.

Rude people suck

There are few things that I hate more than self important people who think that their time is more valuable than anyone else's. These morons are often so blinded by their sense of entitlement that they don't even realize that they're being rude. I am not usually deliberately rude, and it irks the hell out of me when people are inconsiderate.

I was in CVS this morning picking up a couple of prescriptions. I didn't have my CVS card with me, so I asked the cashier if she could just look up my telephone number to find my account. She tried the number three times without success, so I asked if I could just sign up for a new card. The whole time that I was at the counter, I could tell that the woman behind me was getting impatient, but I didn't care. Then this broad had the nerve to ask the cashier "Can she just use my card? Because I am in a huge rush." I didn't say anything, so the cashier asked me if I wanted to use this stranger's card, and I said, "No. I don't want my purchases going on her account." I didn't even bother turning around to acknowledge this nervy broad.

I don't know what would make her think that I gave a damn about her time constraints since I was in line first. And I was really taken aback by her condescending tone like she just knew that I would go along with it. This wasn't about doing me a favor, this broad wanted me to get out of her way. The cashier was all flustered like she didn't know what to do, but all I knew was that this woman was going to have to wait her turn.

Long story short, someone else came over to help me while the original cashier stepped over to the next register to help impatient Sally. And wouldn't you know it, there were problems that held up her transaction. She still wound up waiting and got out of the store maybe two minutes before I did.

After Sally left, the cashier said she thought the other customer was rude but decided to ask me in case I wanted to accept her offer. I told her that it was fine because I was not in a rush, and life is too short to be obnoxious. Now the old me would have cussed this chick out, but I am mellowing in my old age. I was all too happy to let this old jerk look like a fool all by herself.
