I had many dreams as a child, and like the innocence of youth, they were quickly dashed once I reached high school and discovered something I like to call "marijuana". One of those dreams was to gain access to Willy Wonka's candy room and have free reign of the chocolate waterfall and gumdrop trees. Kyle Hausmann may have lived an adult approximation of the candy room fantasy, without the pedophilic undertones of Gene Wilder's Wonka getting in the way.

The New York Times is reporting that Hausmann was accidentally locked into his favorite watering hole after a night of heavy drinking. Awaking in the morning, hungover and late for work, he tried several MacGyverian efforts to free himself from the confines of his tempting incarceration. When he was finally found, the owners discovered that Hausmann hadn't consumed a drop of alcohol (post lock-up), and was eager to return to the establishment under better circumstances.
