My Famous Home Town

The population of my home town of Bellevue, Ohio has hovered around 8,000 for as long as I can remember, and that suits me just fine. It has a small town feel because...well, it's a small town, with some interesting history.

Henry Flagler, who made fortunes in oil and railroads, lived in Bellevue. He was the man responsible for developing Florida into the habitable place it is today, and there are many things named after him on the Atlantic coast of Florida.

Christi Paul, the news anchor on CNN, was born and raised in Bellevue. Her dad was my history teacher in 7th grade.

Axis Sally's father was a dentist in Bellevue.

But now Bellevue has another claim to fame. Here's the link to the story, but be warned: this is not for everyone.

The late night talk shows have all covered this. David Letterman's Top Ten list on Thursday was "Top Ten Excuses Of The Man Caught Having Sex With A Picnic Table."

Yes, we are all proud of our little town.

Yes, his name is Price, and I have to wonder if there was a clown involved in all of this.

I could understand him having sex with the table if it were laden with delcious food stuffs - juicy steaks and ripe fruit etc.. but an empty table with nothing on it! Wow! That is WEIRD! But as Jay Leno said you do have to wonder about the attractiveness of the women in Bellevue!

There are many nice looking women in Bellevue (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brittany_Binger for one example). And as Letterman said, the poor guy just broke up with his pool table and had to find a replacement.
