Toss Those Crabs

Crabs absolutely don’t belong on TTC seats. We know this because the Toronto Transit Commission had to issue a statement saying as much this week after someone brought a few on a train ride. Why? Who knows? It could be, as this tweet suggests, simply “because Toronto.” https://twitter.com/Alice_Moran/status/993612141667278851 By the way, props to the TTC …

Spirit Airlines: Less Hamsters, Oh No!

I don’t have a lot of words. I am really trying to think of a circumstance where I could see where this woman was coming from, but it’s not working. I’m really really trying. Belen Aldecosea had to fly home, and she wanted to fly with Spirit Airlines. In the recent past, because of anxiety …

Delta And United Could Be Rolling Out Kind Of Bad Service Animal Policies

I have been meaning to write about this for a while, but I was hoping to disentangle everything and be able to have a very coherent response with a clear way forward. But that isn’t happening, and it still needs to be written about. Back in mid January, Delta Airlines decided it had had enough …

They’re Your Worms, You Figure It Out

I’ve become drawn to reading stories about people and their parasites ever since Carin and I started watching Monsters Inside Me on Sunday nights while we eat supper.

I’m not alone in this, other articles mentioned the thought too. We still don’t know why, but there are lots of …

I’ll Give You Your Cocks Back If You’ll Give Me Your…

According to the arrest warrant deputies served on Rodney Brown, 25, the crime started with the theft of 25 roosters, a goat, some rooster pens, and some other equipment used to keep those roosters. Police say Brown took them from the victim’s home December 21. …

The Great Big Nasty Spider Freaked The Jackass Out. Out Came The Spray As He Began To Scream And Shout. Then Came The Cops Because Someone Was In Pain. And They Left Him With A Warning To Not Do That Again

Middle of the night. Hysterical screaming. Death threats. Lots of thumping and banging. Sounds of furniture being flung about. Yeah, I’d probably call the police too, just like this Australian fellow’s neighbours did. And were I those police, I’d probably send a few extra cars just to be safe, much like happened on this night. …

Imagine Riding A Bus With A Moose…

I finally know what this video is about. Description: This is a Norwegian video that shows all sorts of animals with a harness, such as a burrow, a duck, a yak or an ox, a moose/elk, ostrich, etc. They all have a person with them as though the person shown next to them is using …
