STORY OF THE YEAR CANDIDATE

Sorry for the late posting, but I just heard about this story and had to share. If I may quote the finest newspaper in the Mon Valley, The Valley Independent, and put the good parts in bold...

Witnesses told police a pilot was antagonizing students practicing soccer at Belle Vernon Area High School and golfers on the links at Willowbrook Golf Course shortly before he crashed 7:43 p.m. Tuesday.
Rostraver Police received various reports that Jay Tokar, 46, of 250 Adams Drive, Rostraver Township, was yelling and attempting to spit on people below shortly before the accident.

He was flying just 10 to 15 feet above the ground, witnesses told police.

He was piloting a glider-type, single-seat craft in a northern direction near the No. 4 fairway when he crashed into a tow line used as a ski lift.

Tremendous. Absolutely tremendous. But not as good as Ronnie Florian lumping the bride and groom.

Update: From a totally different article, some added history on the pilot:

"In August 2003, Tokar crashed his aircraft in the Cobblestone-St. Ives housing plan in Hempfield. "
That's quite the flying resume he's working on, no?

My favorite part of this story is the volunteer fireman in the photo. He's your typical, western PA volunteer who loves carrying around a walkie talkie and standing around looking important, while in actuality he's doing absolutely nothing. Beautiful.

I caught this jagoff buzzing around my pool checking out my wife! If I could've got to my shotgun in time I would've punctured his fuel tank! I'm glad he crashed. Serves him right!

All that fireman needs is a mullet and high top tennys and he would fit right in, Oh, and a little pubic looking chin hair gotee.
