You’ll Never Watch “Raising Arizona” the Same Way Again

The movie Raising Arizona is one of my favorites. With a great performance from Nicolas Cage, and the humor of the Coen Brothers, it's hard to beat.

But after listening to this week's edition of Weird News, I doubt you'll ever be able to watch the movie the same way ever again.

ANNOUNCER - Time now for WDHA's Weird News with Michael Fuzzy Lee.

FUZZY - Today in Weird News, it's all about the Huggies.

A 25-year-old South Carolina man went into a Dollar General store with a gun and demanded diapers.

After he grabbed two packages of Huggies, workers gave the police a description of him and he was captured about a mile away.

He is a convicted felon, charged with armed robbery, and unlawfully possessing a gun.

Sounds like this guy gets all his evil ideas from the movie Raising Arizona.

If memory serves me correctly, that is right around the time Gale popped his head out of the ground from his prison break. And that's also around the time Hi carjacked some guy's truck trying to get away from the police.

Do criminals still wear panties on their head while robbing a store? This article doesn't get into that if South Carolina man had one or not.

It's kind of disappointing. I would really like to know. Yee-ee-ee! Ah, stealing Huggies is so much fun!

And we got a breaking story coming to the Weird News desk.

Apparently, a stretch of Interstate 80 in Nebraska was shut down for several hours when a cattle truck collided with a burrito truck.

And with me right now is Poppa Woody who was live on the scene in Chopper 1.

So Poppa, what do you see?

POPPA WOODY - Well thank you Mr. Fuzzy. I gotta say, this is the burritos lover dream come true.

You got burritos on one side of the road and fresh ground beef on the other side. It's so fresh the cattle is still walking on all fours.

FUZZY - But Mr. Woody, was anybody hurt in the accident? id anyone die?

PW - The only one dying right now from what I see is my appetite. I'm dying of hunger and in just a couple of minutes that cow will die as I turn him into ground beef.

So I'm gonna attempt to land on the highway and grab an early lunch and make a mission burrito, because I'm on a mission.

It's a good thing mama packed me some rice and beans. It's gonna go perfect with this burrito. I kind of wish I had some sour cream in my pocket to go with this, but oh well.

So please excuse me Mr. Fuzzy as I make myself an early lunch. If there are any leftovers I'll bring you back one.

But don't count on it.

This is Papa Woody signing off.

FUZZY - Well thank you, Poppa. That's very kind of you.

And that's DHA's Weird News.

WDHA's Dog Days Of Summer is BACK! At our WDHA Studios (where it all began 13 years ago!) at 55 Horsehill Rd in Cedar Knolls New Jersey- THIS Saturday - June 1st beginning at Noon! Please come out, support our local New Jersey Rescue Groups, and find a new best friend!

We are happy to do our own adoption events any time of the year for a multitude of reasons.

We will have 9 Rescue organizations joining us at Dog Days Of Summer.

11th Hour Rescue
Randolph Regional Animal Shelter
Northstar Pet Rescue
Gingerbread House
Fly Away Home Rescue
All Humane Rescue
Sedona Shepherd Rescue
Rosemarie's Rescue Ranch
AHS Newark

You can click on the link above about the event to get links to each rescue and check out some of their lovely adoptables.

Every rescue group has a different policy. Some have applications to be filled out, while others will adopt onsite. Example...11th Hour Rescue requires an approved application, so I suggest to fill one out online in advance so you can get pre-approved. Don't be afraid to ask our groups questions- They are there to help you find a great match.

The WDHA studio lot will be used for the event however the lot directly next door at 45 Horsehill is our approved parking lot for the day. There is plenty of easy parking in the huge office complex lot next door and it's a very short walk to the next driveway over to the station.

Des Rocs is an amazing artist- his latest release "Dream Machine" is climbing the rock charts when we found out he was home from touring and wanted to help we were PSYCHED! Des will be performing an acoustic set close to 1p and meeting the fans, shelters and adoptables (he loves dogs!) so please feel free to stop by and say hi, we are planning on showing him some big time Jersey puppy love!

It's easy to help, even if you are not looking to adopt. You can make a donation of food or new supplies. Some of our groups especially ALL HUMANE are in desperate need of linens- sheets, towels, T shirts, Sleeping Bags for the dogs. Please visit their table with your gently used linens. You can make a monetary donation as they will all be taking donations. Every bit helps. You can purchase something from the groups table (some will be vending too), you can inquire about fostering or volunteering. Maybe you can't adopt, but can short term foster, or walk a dog twice a week, or donate a special skill, say building or fixing. There are so many ways to help.
You can also let our shelter groups know you appreciate their hard work.

YES! BUT- must be on a leash - no retractable leashes please! We always want to be as safe as possible.
