Tulsa Likes To Bury Cars

I’ m everyone is familiar that over the weekend Tulsa dug up a car that was buried 50 years ago to mark the 50th anniversary of Oklahoma’s statehood.  The result was a car tomb filled with four foot of water and a very ruined car.

Well, it turns out that Tulsa buried another car in 1998:

A 300-thousand-dollar prototype of the 1998 Plymouth Prowler was buried in a time capsule at Centennial Park on 6th Street in January 1998 to commemorate Tulsa’s 100th birthday. It is expected to be unearthed in 2048.

Whenever I think of Tulsa, I’m reminded of a girl that moved from their to my hometown when I was in middle school.  One of the first things she told me was that she was already aware of what Tulsa is spelled backwards.

Kim Mayorga was confused when her 2-year-old started making funny faces and pushing away the apple juice he had ordered at Applebee’s. The explanation came when she opened the lid of the sippy cup and was hit by the smell of tequila and Triple Sec.

The restaurant staff accidentally gave Julian Mayorga a margarita Monday. He grew drowsy and started vomiting a few hours later and was rushed to the hospital.

“I wasn’t going to make a big deal about it,” the mother told the Contra Costa Times on Thursday, “but then he got sick.”

The apple juice and margarita mix were stored in identical plastic bottles, and the manager mistakenly grabbed the margarita container to pour the boy’s drink, said Randy Tei, vice president for Apple Bay East Inc., which owns the franchise restaurant and nine other Applebee’s in the San Francisco Bay area.

The Mayorgas will be reimbursed for their medical bills, and Tei said the franchise group’s restaurants will no longer serve apple juice and margaritas in similar containers.
