Arm to alligator, Teen Drinking tragedy

6-25-08 A Florida teen has lost his arm, but not his spirit, after an alligator attacked him Sunday during an early morning swim in a Florida canal.

Kasey Edwards, 18, of Okeechobee, Fla., lost his left arm after grappling with the 11-foot long alligator in a canal at 2 a.m. Sunday.

"I felt something lock down and had the sensation of needle nose pliers, just a gigantic set of them, clamping down," Edwards told FOX affiliate WFLX-TV.

Edwards admits he and his friends were drinking before he decided to jump in the 25-foot-deep canal in Nubbin Slough in Okeechobee County.

Blitzed or blessed teacher? You decide,


A substitute music teacher in Dallas, Texas, was arrested for  allegedly being drunk at Parkhill Junior High School. Thomas Brownlee,   56, "had slurred speech, breath smelling of an alcoholic beverage and  bloodshot eyes," the police report says. The officer started a field   sobriety test, but the teacher "was so intoxicated that all further  testings had to be stopped for [Brownlee's] safety." Brownlee admits to  drinking wine at lunch, but says he wasn't drunk. A reporter asked  Brownlee about his car's vanity license plate, "IMBLZT" -- is that  supposed to mean "I'm blitzed" (drunk)? No no no, Brownlee said -- he's  also a minister, he explained, and to him it means "I'm blessed."  (Dallas Morning News) ...One way or another, he was under the influence  of a spirit that day

D.C. AA Chapter a Cult, Critics Say
May 2, 2007
