We're gonna get shafted after all. (if you don't remember the show, you won't get it)

Intruder falls asleep in Mary Tyler Moore house (Star Tribune)
The burglary suspect apologized to the homeowner for breaking into the $3.62 million home on an apparent dare by friends after a night of drinking.
On an alcohol-fueled dare over the weekend, a Minneapolis man apparently broke into a multimillion-dollar house featured in the popular TV sitcom "The Mary Tyler Moore Show."
Minneapolis police, responding to a report of a break-in Saturday morning, found the 24-year-old man asleep in a second-floor bedroom with the television on and a remote control for a ceiling fan in his back pocket. His shoes were found on the third floor of the eight-bedroom, nine-bath Queen Anne Victorian in the Kenwood neighborhood.
"This guy's not using a lot of brains," said police Sgt

That's the whole idea behind alcohol-fueled dares, brains aren't suppose to come in to the picture. Back in my wilder day's, (pre mocha-momma) I partook of a number of a-f dares; though I don't recall any of them involving breaking the law.


Personally, what I think is the greater crime here, is the fact that the owner is trying to sell this house for $3.62 million.


If I owned a multi-million dollar home, c'mon lottery #'s, I wouldn't want it located in a neighborhood with other homes within 50 feet. I'd want acres of land with a pool, a putting green, maybe some polo fields; you get the idea. I don't really think that the fact this house was pictured for about 5 seconds on the opening of The Mary Tyler Moore Show should add $3 million to it's value.

That's so funny. I was just there not long ago while they were renovating and took a picture also.
