And this just in…
Geeeee Bart,
Must have been a long night at work. 
I guess it was only a matter of time…
Sigh, and a man of the Cloth, too.

And does the National Inquisitor have photos?..even film?
Perhaps he got lost on the way to the Polar Bear Plunge? That would explain the appearantly ab-bear-ant behaviour.
:snicker:

That must have been the only emergency Bart had last night…
ROTFLMAO…!! :lol:

This kinda hits home for me, 2 years ago at 3 am Jan 1, we had a very very very drunk fellow try to pet the cats on our front porch, woke us up in the process, “here pitty kity chity” we said he should leave and in a very slurred voice he said, “Sorry bro” and staggering off into the darkeness down the street, I called 9-11 to have some cops come out and pick him up as it was near freezing that night and I was sure he wouldnt get far in the state he was in. They show up, I tell them what happened and which way I last saw him going. As they pulled up the street to turn around I looked over at my neighbors house and saw the guy, on the sidewalk, in a fetal position, passed out colder than a box of fishsticks. I flag the cops, they ended up calling an ambulance,who came and got him. They got him awake, got his name which they ended up telling me and also told me he was very very very drunk.
6pm Jan 1, the Rose Parade is on its 14th rerun, theres a knock at the door, ITS THE GUY! He’s there with his girlfriend, who made him come by and THANK us for calling the police, turns out he had such a high blood alcohol level if he had stayed on the sidewalk he likely would have died! He then asks me if I found a set of carkeys in our yard. He got wasted at a nearby party, got in his car got immediately lost, ended up in our neighborhood, got out of his car got 5 feet away and got lost from it also. I then here him for the next half hour walking up and down the street, he find his car a block away, but never finds the keys, good thing his girlfriend had a spare set. Havent seen him since. Sobor he seamed like a decent guy, just lost it. Hope he gave up drinking.
I had a somewhat similar incident about 15 years ago. I had an early morning walking type paper route. Was going across a customer’s yard on a rather nippy, dark morning to pitch the paper on their porch and tripped over a body. Went and called 911. Medics came out and propped him against a tree, poured some coffee down him and took him into the house. Seems he got drunk and managed to find his way home…just didn’t make it to the front door 
Fr.Fred may enjoy a pint now and again; but practises MODERATION at all times.
Alcohol if enjoyed in moderation is not bad for you, in fact they are suggesting that if used in MODERATION, it can be good for you.
The problems start when drinking becomes an obsession, and takes over your life. Gambling can be just as bad.
If you have trouble moderating your intake of alcoholic beverages, just QUIT DRINKING, and stay away from the stuff. If you can't, then join AA, and do yourself and family a favour.
If you just choose not to use alcoholic beverages; FINE; but don’t become one of those hollier than thou types and can anything that might involve resposible, enjoyment of beverages.
I’m NOT DIRECTING THIS AT ANYONE IN PARTICULAR; but if it applies to YOU; then please take heed.
THANK YOU.
