Weird Iowa: Stripper for Hubby, OWI on Golf Cart, More Iowa Nice, Dueling Bus Tours

Lot's of weirdness this week in Iowa.

To start off, how about the wife looking to make her hubby's 40th birthday memorable. How would you line up a birthday surprise? Tickets to the Masters? Skydiving? A romantic dinner?

Think again.

The wife was using Marion Craigslist to find a buxom blond stripper, age 18-25, for a classy Happy Birthday party for her Romeo. You go girl!

Next up, where else? Let's keep surfing the Web. On to YouTube.

People have their preconceived notions about Iowa. We're "polite." We're "nice." We're "congenial." Well, why not take a fresh look at Iowa through the eyes of a punchy new short from the creators of the viral "Iowa nice" video.

This time Paul D. Benedict and Scott Siepker highlight University and Iowa and Iowa State University while dishing some smack talk to their rivals in the Big Ten and Big 12 conferences. Follow the link to watch the hilarious videos.

Here's one golf-related outing an Ankeny man won't soon forget.

Jason Greene was arrested and charged with operating a vehicle while intoxicated after the golf cart he was driving allegedly struck 47-year-old William Hartman of Slater.

Looks he could have used a driver.

A University of Iowa fraternity was starting to look a little too much like Animal House and a too little like a Greek house trying to contribute positively to campus.

The members of Sigma Alpha Epsilon will have to look to plan "B" for their college extracurriculars. News reports suggest 27 percent of the 60ish members had been arrested for non-traffic related charges, a statistic which came out only after the frat was booted off campus for hazing violations.

Is Faber College accepting applications?

A Grimes man will likely need to make a trip to the pharmacy after he unintentionally made a trip to the pharmacy. Jake Lewis had just received two shots and suddenly became ill as he was pulling into a parking lot. Lewis allegedly lost control of his vehicle and, instead of going straight, he drove into the Medicap Pharmacy.

He was fine, thankfully.

Finally, ever heard of dueling banjos? How about dueling bus tours? One campaign supporting an Iowa Supreme Court judge who backed the ruling that legalized gay marriage in Iowa, and a second that wants to vote him off the bench in November are crisscrossing the state, even the same towns, on rival bus tours.

Let's hope they don't run into each other while jockeying for position.
