: Good morning Mohicanlanders!  This has absolutely nothing to do with LOTM but I hate a "nekkid" board and this so funny I had to share it.  Many of you may have already heard about this, especially if you watch CNN or Fox News and because it happened in my neck of the woods I feel it's ok for me the tell it.  Not only did it happen in my neck of the woods, I've eaten here, have a bottle of the bar-b-q sauce in my fridge and you can get there in ten minutes from my parent's house.  ROTFLMAO!!

: "BARBECUE BURGLARY SUSPECT COMES CLOSE TO BEING COOKED"

: A would-be burglar almost gave new meaning to the Bob Sykes Barbecue slogan of "slow cooked in fine Southern tradition" before Bessemer firefighters extracted him Tuesday from one of the restaurant's vents.

: Sykes cook Alonzo Scott said he had just gotten to work around 4:30 Tuesday morning when a muffled male voice startled him.

: Scott said he thought it was a co-worker who had just arrived, yelling from outside to be let in.

: "I heard the voice again and looked," he said.

: Scott said he saw a pair of blue and white Reeboks dangling from above the hamburger grill.  "I'm thinking, Who the hell is this?" said Scott.

: Scott said he asked the voice if he was OK.

: "I'm hot.  I'm about to faint," Scott said the voice from the vent told him.  "Please, man, help me out of here."

: Scott said he went to the roof and saw the top of the man stuck in the 10-foot-tall, one-foot-wide vent with his hands above his head.  The man had climbed onto the roof on maintenance ladders attached to the back of the building.

: Back inside the restaurant, Scott said, he and a co-worker unsuccessfully tried to extract the man, then called 911.

: Scott said the man was most agreeable with calling the authorities.

: "Go ahead and call them," Scott said the voice told him.

: Scott said firefighters soon arrived and tried to cut the man out, but could not.  They then go on the roof themselves and dropped a rope down the vent.

: It took three firefighters to pull him out.

: He had been there at least three hours, firefighters said.

: "They snatched him so hard, his pants came off," Scott said.  "He was ready to get out of there; he looked like the Swamp Thing."

: The suspect was carted off to jail, but Sykes employees still had his pants and the pink bicycle he rode to the restaurant.

: Bessemer police charged Sampson Dearman, 25, with third-degree burglary.  The 5-foot7, 190 pound Dearman was put in the Jefferson County Jail in Bessemer on $10,000 bail bond.

: "He was a greasy mess," Police Chief Ron Brown said.  "It was good that he was stuck where someone could see him before they started cooking."

: Van Sykes, who owns the popular Bessemer restaurant, said purloining pork had to have been the burglar's motive.  "There is no money here," Sykes said.  "I don't know why someone would break in other than to take some barbecue."

: Scott said Dearman had applied for a job at Sykes about six months ago and recently returned to inquire about the job.

: "I told him to come back in two weeks," Scott said, "and I guess he came back in two weeks."

: THIS STILL CRACKS ME UP!  Now how many orders do I have for a bottle of that sauce?  LOL!!
