Dude, Where's My State?
Quote:
Stoned Delaware college student gets lost in Conn.
Associated Press
07/11/2004
A Delaware college student ate a bag of hallucinogenic mushrooms and drove around in a pair of stolen cars before arriving, confused, on a mountain in northwest Connecticut police said.
Paul Cunningham, 21, hiked to a nearby home Thursday night and asked to call 911, police said.
"I think I stole a car," Cunningham told a dispatcher. "I'm not sure."
Police said Cunningham, of Dover, Del., confessed that eating an entire bag of mushrooms, "probably wasn't a good idea." He allegedly told investigators that he had no idea how many laws he broke during a three-day excursion that took him 300 miles from home.
A student at Wilmington College, he told a state trooper that he bought the drugs in Dover on Monday, according to the Republican-American of Waterbury. The next day, he went for a drive and twice got lost in Connecticut.
He told police he remembers taking a train to LaGuardia Airport in New York, where he found a car with its keys in it. He's unsure where he went from there.
"I once again found myself lost in Connecticut," Cunningham reportedly told police.
After locking the keys in the stolen car, Cunningham allegedly stole a van from a Southbury rest stop.
In Canaan, he decided to climb Music Mountain to see what was on the other side, police said. Investigators believe the exercise cleared Cunningham's head.
"I want to correct my mistakes," Cunningham reportedly told Trooper Andre Roy. "In retrospect, this was a bad idea."
He volunteered a written confession, police said. He was arraigned Friday and was held on $2,500 bail. Both stolen vehicles were recovered.

Now that's funny.
Being from CT, I'll even admit it's not a fun state to get lost in; although it may be more fun when on serious drugs.

That would be, "Officer Dude, where's my state?"

I don't know how much was in that bag but what I do know is that people don't just walk around in bus environments and highways on this stuff.

I thought that this was about a sequel to "Dude, Where's My Car." This is funny.

He's a good kid since he's willing to so readily accept responsibility for his actions. Honestly, I hope he gets off and I think he will. If my car had been stolen under similar circumstances, I probably wouldn't press charges if he just reimbursed me for the gas. (I've had my car stolen before, so I know how much that sucks).
What struck me is how rare it is in America for someone to take full responsibility for their actions like that.

Now that's the truth!
It is a funny story, though. Better living through chemistry.

That kid is lucky he didn't get himself or someone else killed.
I've always thought some of the crazy-@$$ drivers on Connecticut's highways must be high on something ... now I know for sure...!

Yah, no kidding. But I still give it up to him for owning up to everything.

You read my mind. They'd both be part of the same genre.

note to self: do not eat entire bag in one sitting.
At least the guy is taking responsibility for his actions even if they were while under chemical influence. I've heard too many stories of college students here at ISU that pretend not to know what happened while they were drinking or toking up.
