'Cool Mom' Arrested for Giving Vodka to 13-year-olds
For everyone who ever wished their parents had been just a little more fun and laidback when they were growing up, meet Lanora Lucas of Frederick County, Md. Lucas was arrested for purchasing a bottle of vodka in May for a group of kids to enjoy at a 13-year-old girl's birthday party. After drinking the vodka, two of the teens were sent to the hospital with possible alcohol poisoning. The kicker is that it turns out Lucas is the same woman who was arrested three years ago for allowing her children to ride in the trunk of her car. At the time, she told a judge she let them climb in the trunk because she wanted them to think she was "a cool mom." Think having her mugshot published in the Washington Post also seems "cool" to her kids?

Oddly enough she was on McCain’s short list for VP. Apparently her hotness score was too low, but her bat sh!t craziness score just edged out Palin by 1000th of a point.

My mom was also cool. She bought the vodka and bourbon to have on hand for "special occasions" and then was too distracted to notice when they mysteriously emptied themselves over the course of the next year month week.

According to the article this won't even effect her probation, as she didn't buy the vodka for her kids. Nice!

The COOLEST moms let their kids drink vodka while they ride in the trunk.

Why do all the cool mommys end up either in prison or working as strippers? Maybe the kind of daddies they attract?

My dad was the cool one; he hid the keys to the bar someplace where my mom couldn't find them.

Somewhere, John McCain is kicking himself.

My mom was so cool that, when she found I was surrepticiously mixing "jungle juice" out of all the liquor in the cabinet, she beat the living s**t out of me. Since then I've had an aversion towards poorly mixed drinks and the occasional seizure.

If she was a cool mom she would of bought the girls red bull to mix with their vodka. Isn't that what all those damn kids are drinking these days?
Gosh, in my day we had to put jolly ranchers in bottles of zima while walking up a hill both ways with no shoes on in 6 ft. of snow. My momma never bought me jolly ranchers to go with my zima. Spoiled brats.
And gas was a buck and cigarettes were 3.00.

We used to soak Gummi bears overnight in Everclear. That's some f***ed-up jello shooters right there. Now you got Michel Richard selling that s**t for $14 a shot at Central.
Somebody call Todd Thrasher at PX and have him put that s**t on the menu. Go great after a couple of those "menthol" tobacco single malt scotch-tails he's selling.

At 15, I got to steal nips from a bottle of Gordon's that was older than me. I do not miss those days.

I don't get it ... Aside from sneaking into Drive-In Theaters what's the point or thrill to riding in the trunk?

There's a local variation of the old party game "Seven Minutes in Heaven" known as "Half an Hour in the Trunk."
Some locals also refer to it as, "Find the O-ring," "The AAAMCO Man Inspects Your Dual Exhaust," or even "Greasemonkey's Dipstick Gets Bent."

Clearly a serious case of lead paint-itis. I think a preemptive arrest of the children is in order as well. Nip them in bud, so to speak.

Thanks Monkey, that doesn't sound like the ol' prank we would repeatably play on a gullible friend - when we'ld stuff him in the trunk and drive around awhile before letting him out and speeding off. Of course we'ld pick him up after 10 minutes. This was one reason why 16 year olds shouldn't drive.

"...Police say the teens -- two 13-year-old girls and three males, ages 14, 16 and 18..."
Speaking of Palin, do minors need to buy their own rape kits in Frederick?
[ report this ]
Having lived briefly in Frederick County, I'll field that one:
I'm not sure they recognize "rape" as such out there. It's just boys being boys, doing God's work behind the Jimmie Cone. No need for a kit. And no need to pay for a babydaddy test. That's what Maury Povich is for.

My parents weren't cool like that, but that nice man from Neverland sure was...
