After I watched this video about a woman with a Botfly larva in her head, I couldn’t get her out of my head. Ug. *shiver* Any sighties out there, does it look bad? It sounds positively ug. This seriously sounds like something from a horror movie. I love how she goes from “Oh my god …

The Kid’s Head’s Spinning And The Hamster’s Dead
After reading this story of a mother forcing her son to kill his hamster because of bad grades, That Jebb Fink bit doesn’t seem nearly so cruel. My daughter’s hamster died. I figured its a life lesson right? So she comes in very upset and asks “Why did he die, what’d I do wrong, is …

We *Are* The Beaver
Well shit, this story has put this song in my head. Ok, there’s an old magazine all about Canadian history. It is called “The Beaver.” Why? Because goddamn it, or maybe goddam it, the beaver is our national symbol. But now they’re thinking of changing the magazine’s name. What bugs me about this story is …
Trixie Wants To Have A Word Or Six.
Ha ha, I have the keyboard. I have the keyboard I have the keyboard. Hmmm I wonder if I can get this done in time for kibble. It’s almost time to eat that yummy kibble kibble kibble stuff. Speaking of kibble, I’ve noticed I get a bit less kibble than I used to. Carin said …
The Ants Are Marching One By One…And They Know It.
Ok fellow blinks, next time someone thinks you count steps, tell them that stuff’s what ants do! It’s a good thing there are ethics boards in place to prevent someone from trying this experiment on blinks to find out if they count steps too.

Bye-bye, Harley
I have mentioned my mom’s cat a few times over the course of the blog. She’s the one who has a hate on for Trix. I think it’s more fear than hate, but it was always displayed as a big ol’ hiss. She was never a big fan of new people. When friends came over …
It’s A Cat!
Good lord! I say that for two reasons: 1. A woman of an unknown age and her 27-year-old son were so afraid of a cat that went insane that they called 911. Seriously. It’s a cat. I know it’s a 16-pound cat, but it’s a damn cat! The thing went nuts, so they started running …
Monkey Maul, Victim Sue
Remember that old story about Travis the chimp mauling that poor woman? Well, if you didn’t, I’m sure all the Oprah coverage brought it back to memory. Amazingly enough, Charla Nash survived the attack, although she is still healing and horribly disfigured. That’s a lot of damage. She’s also suing the ass off of Sandra …
Not Everything That Seems Creepy Is Always Bad, Or Why Animal Rights Activists Need To Shut Up And Go Away Sometimes
Is there a rule somewhere that says every animal rights activist who makes a statement that at least one other person is going to read/hear has to be a total moron? That’s the only way I can explain how anybody could possiblyhave a problem with British supermarkets using unsold expired meat to create electricity rather …
