Beejay, Florida is NUTS!

Police : Armed burglars demand man's eggbeater.

TAMPA, Fla. - It really must have been a special item. According to the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office, two men entered a man's home early Sunday and demanded his eggbeater. One suspect was holding a pistol while the other brandished a knife to the resident's neck.

Police caught the men outside the home and they are being held in Orient Road jail. One suspect also faces a charge of aggravated assault.

Police found the eggbeater in the man's left pocket.

Information from : The Tampa Tribune

OK, I get that is high cookie baking season, did this guy break his wife's prized eggbeater or what??? An armed robbery for AN EGGBEATER?? Use a whisk and be done with it, honestly!
Beejay, no wonder you like to come up and visit us!! Being irregular sure seems quite 'normal' compared to these fine Floridian specimens, yikes!

even a fork with a little effort will beat an egg quite nicely! Dude, there are other options!

I could have told you that...I lived in Florida a long time. Something about states at the edge of the country makes people a little wonky.

Beejay, Cigar City Motel? My image of you is crushed.


Yeah, in recessionary times, people will steal eggbeaters, spatulas, cheese graters, just about anything.

geez, 1st you're to lock your purses in the trunk, keep your wallets in your front pockets, now we have to cover all kitchen windows to hide our untensils, what's next??

Beejay, they weren't caught with any cookies or even crumbs, is it the lack of changing seasons that drives them a little too coo coo down there??

Orbs, we thought it was a Howard Johnsons or Red Carpet or something else and it had been the year before!

Aaah, the good old days....

I remember that place vividly...this huge bed with a red bedspread...red flocked paper on the walls...

I remember walking in and saying to my darling husband "What the hell is this??? What did you get us into this time!" Oh, yes, the good old days.....
