Bottoms Up: Margarita, Funnel And Woman’s Bum [Weird News & Oddities]

ACROSS AMERICA — Put whatever you’re drinking down, step away from the plate of food and consider this your “ew” warning: A restaurant in Georgia is doing damage control after an incident involving a funnel, a margarita and a woman’s buttocks.

What you imagine happened did. “Bottoms up” is all you need to know — except that what happened at the south Georgia restaurant did not stay at the restaurant. The couple, a man and woman, filmed their X-rated stunt, which took place right there in the restaurant. It blew up when it was leaked online.

The woman who took the anal shot wasn’t about to take the leak sitting down. She complained to police, who slapped her and the guy who operated the funnel, which turned out to be less effective than a glass, with misdemeanor public indecency charges. In a post on social media, restaurant staff were emphatic this is so not how they want the eatery to be known.

“We want to make it clear that such behavior is completely unacceptable and does not reflect our values and mission to provide a family-friendly dining experience,” the restaurant said.

They’ll Have The Usual

You may return to the table, that is the Texas Roadhouse restaurant table, where the only weird thing about this story of wanderlust is redundancy. Be assured there’s nothing inappropriate going on with the signature honey butter.

The chain’s franchise locator is a handy vacation planning tool for Judy and Mike McNamara, a Virginia couple who make sure there’s a Roadhouse near when they plan trips to national parks and such places.

They’ve been munching away at a goal to visit each of the more than 580 Texas Roadhouse restaurants in the country and have been to 437 since 2017. They checked off 25 franchises off in a single trip.

The couple said fancy cuisine and fine dining aren’t their deal. They like the restaurant’s country home cooking in a family-friendly atmosphere, especially the sirloin, herb chicken, pork chops or ribs with a side salad.

Gah-Gah Over Wawa

Americans are privileged to have enough choices to form attachments to brands. Tyler Gyurisin, a 22-year-old Wawa superfan, has kept every single order slip he’s ever received from the regional grocery chain.

The collection of 1,000 receipts, which Gyurisin lined up for a photo posted online, took years to assemble, though it helped he makes multiple trips to the store on some days. The receipts show he’s a big fan of the mac and cheese.

Now, the Barnegat, New Jersey, native has a new goal: To get a selfie in front of each of the store’s locations, from Philadelphia to Orlando.

Swallowtail Whisperer

C.L. Green of Berkeley, California, is an avid gardener and also a bit of a butterfly whisperer. She grows fennel because she knows swallowtail butterfly caterpillars love it so much they’ll hang around until they grow into big, strong butterflies.

Green even shelters some of the caterpillars to an indoor butterfly house specifically designed for breeding. When a butterfly emerges from its chrysalis, Green places it on her or her son’s nose to dry out and pump up its wings. It’s her way of welcoming the colorful butterflies into the world with a human touch. Recently, the family dog Pepper had a chance to say hello.

Yosemite Has A Poop Problem

Good on backpackers and other visitors to Yosemite National Park for following protocol and burying their poop like good scouts. Hold the merit badge, though. Poop — specifically poopy toilet paper — is still a problem.

Unlike the, well, business that park visitors leave behind, toilet paper doesn’t enrich the soil or immediately decompose. And it doesn’t stay buried. Animals may dig up and scatter the dirty TP or use it for nests, or erosion and extreme weather events may bring it to the surface. Either way, it makes the park a — well, you know what kind of mess.

So stop doing that, the park service implored on social media. The right way to dispose of dirty TP is to put it in a resealable plastic bag and carry it out of the park.

“Because really,” the post said, “nobody wants to stumble upon a surprise package left behind by an anonymous outdoor enthusiast.”

Speaking Of Problem Poopers …

More anecdotal evidence that people ruin a lot of things: Everybody poops, but come on. In case you missed it last year, the happiest places on Earth, Disney theme parks, were fouled by guests who pooped while waiting in line for attractions. It happened a lot. And it wasn’t just kids dropping a deuce.
