I need the help of somebody with a long memory for these sorts of things (Carin, I may be looking squarely in your direction). I seem to recall that several years ago, either police or wildlife type people issued a warning to citizens of a state that may or may not have been Florida asking …

Smoked Bacon
There are a lot of common reasons for going on a bender. There are also some pretty ridiculous ones. But I’m not sure I’ve ever heard of anyone hitting both extremes simultaneously quite the way Chad Spohn did. Investigators say that Chad Spohn, 44, became highly intoxicated after drinking a bottle of Everclear, the 190-proof …
2014: Goodbye And Good Riddance
It’s mid January, and I feel like I have to write the usual holiday wrap-up/year in review post. I feel like this will be the shortest one ever because both the holidays, and the year, feel like they have been snatched and tainted. Getting to my family’s Christmas was coloured with a bit of Carin-style …
Dice My Onions, Or I Might Go Snaky!
I was going to write about this on Monday, but my computer had other plans. If I wrote this post on Monday, I would have said that I think I’m winning the battle with Captain Nameless Illness, but I’m not completely sure anymore. At any rate, it’s still robbing me of creativity because when I …
Duck Duck Smoosh
I wonder if Karie Lindgren was one of the people at the fair years ago who didn’t know what a duck was. That perhaps explains why she recently tried to feed one candy. It does not, however, explain why she became so enraged by the duck’s refusal of her offering of treats that she hopped …
United Breaks Cats And Dogs
Actually, make that United *bakes* cats and dogs. But, according to Sinclair, her pets were not safe. In fact, she says, the comfort stop nearly killed them. As she sat in her window seat looking out onto the tarmac of George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston, Sinclair says she saw a cargo employee kick Sedona’s …
Good News: I’ve Finally Seen The Exploding Whale Video. Bad News: Because The Guy Who Blew It Up Died
Back in the 90’s, well before I was doing anything online, I had a few friends who were. And one of the things I clearly remember one of them merrily telling me all about was a video simply known as the Exploding Whale. It sounded awesome. So awesome that I made a mental note to …
Deer Crossing Doesn’t Mean What You Think It Means
My sister sent me this Please Move The Deer Crossing video a while ago, but I kept forgetting about it and losing it among the far too many messages in my completely ridiculous inbox. Part of the reason is that I was sure it had to be a fake. Her description made it sound like …

Dirty Rat…Poison
Here’s another scary one that I saw on a mailing list. If you use rat poison near or around your house, you might want to find out if its active ingredient is bromethalin. The reason being, there is no antidote and your pet could die a lot faster. The EPA made regulations against anticoagulants being …
Way Hey And Away We Go, Donkey Robbing Donkey Robbing
Not being up on my everyday Colombian crime news, I have no idea how common getaway donkeys are. but even had I not read this, the idea would have struck me as kind of dumb. This is especially true when the donkey you’ve loaded up with stolen goods is himself stolen property and not in …
