Lots of odd and odd things happened in 2011. Here, from our archives, is a sampling of some of the weirdest and wackiest:
He got pee'd off
Michael Steele of Plymouth got rather pee'd off when Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs bartenders cut him off original in the morning of Jan. 19.
Casino staff determined Steele had enough to drink and called him a cab. But he came back and caused an uproar. Witnesses told police an intoxicated Steele relieved himself on a door in the casino's sway upon his return, then got in an argument with a woman. Steele shouted profanities at monitor and said he didn't do anything wrong. But when investigators reviewed surveillance footage, it showed Steele prowl up to a doorway and begin urinating.
Toilet trouble
In March, the Fairview Township zoning hearing cabinet upheld a ruling that a toilet Kevin and Kimberly Engler placed in their Straighten out Street yard as a lawn ornament was not a zoning ordinance debasing.
Zoning officer Barry Jacob originally decided the lavatory, which the Englers use as a planter, wasn't a nuisance even though neighbors weren't perfectly dotty over the bright pink-painted potty. Dr. John and Peerless Dougherty, who filed the initial complaint and appealed Jacob's ruling, purported the toilet was offensive and affected their quality of life and their property value.
