Steering Wheel Buddie

January 7, 2009

Meet Stanley, he’s the cutest and most entertaining steering wheel cover ever made. His fur is very soft and green. He has two rows of sharp felt teeth and pink gums made of piping. Stanley looks permanently freaked out because of your bad driving. He is made with elastic to keep you company on any standard sized steering wheel. Although he can’t help get you into the carpool lane you’ll always have company with Artie. He enjoys bad singing and won’t tell your friends if you pick your nose in the car. Just don’t make him angry or you may have to watch out when you honk your horn.” w/ photos

St. Elmo is a ghost town located in Chaffee County, Colorado, United States. Founded in 1880, St. Elmo lies in the heart of the Sawatch Range, 20 miles southwest of Buena Vista. To this day it is one of Colorado’s most preserved ghost towns. Nearly 2,000 people settled in this town when mining for gold and silver became evident. The mining industry started to decline in the early 1920s, and in 1922 the train discontinued service. There are currently 8 year-round residents in this area.” w/ photos

Vets said the amount of alcohol in his system was at a dangerous level and it was only his strength that enabled him to survive. Andrew Wilson, 30, of Ringwood Crescent, Southmead, Bristol, admitted beating Bronx and giving him two-thirds of a can of Stella Artois. He was sentenced to 150 hours of community service at Bristol Magistrates’ Court yesterday and banned from keeping warm blooded animals for one year.” w/ photo
