Oh, joy.

More glory for New Jersey.

Let me get my party hat...

It's not news and it's not all that weird, but I wasn't sure where else to put it.

For a while in this country we were having drought conditions.
Especially to the East.
I heard a farmer interviewed on the radio who farmed hemp.

Yes, marijuana, but of a type that couldn't get you high. Or at least the marijuana version of a really really weak shandy - you'd make yourself sick before you felt an affect.

Cut to the Sundae clan driving to Great Yarmouth. EAST.
OMG - what's growing in that field?!

But I daredn't say anything.
Mum knows what it looks like from working with the Police (they had a special course on recognising drugs). What excuse do I have?
But it was. Really, obviously. Growing right up against the side of the road.

I wonder how many poor saps stopped and picked in vain...?

The two above snips are unrelated, btw...

Who thinks they ran this story just so they could get that line in there?

Have you ever been so drunk that you...

For FSM's sake!
Poor baby. Glad to hear she's healing.

And for the record, no.
I may have handled some of the trouser variety when I was drunk, but never intentionally caused harm.

So, no biting big chunks out, then, eh?

Oh poor little bugger. Not just bites, deep fucking bites that exposed her liver. My God.

Don't know if that's a pic of the snake in question or just stock pics of a snake to illustrate the point...


I love snakes. Lovely creatures. I have very fond memories of some baby Garter snakes we took on after my uncle died. They were adorable. Tiny little things, like thick shoelaces. They'd wrap around your fingers like a grownup wraps around your arm *chuckles*

Most of them didn't survive as I recall. The ones that did were mainly rehoused when they were a little older. I think Mum had had enough of snakes after Martin's escapologist pet python :p

This was a funny read.

Canadian workers ill after cannabis brownie mix-up

I like the Canadian response to this. In the States this would have turned into a shit-storm.

"... forgot about them ..." :lol: I can't imagine why.

You know, I'm beginning to suspect this stuff might actually be bad for you after all.

Next item... Sobriety check points for all Swedish Elk!

Headlines don't get much better than this:

There's a picture in the article. He does look a fair bit like Gordon Ramsay.

Because a dwarf porn Gordon Ramsey double that good, you don't want to eat all at once.

Ba DUM dum!

New recipe from Ramsay himself ...

Take one dwarf, and ...

"Hello! What have we here?" It looks like a ... :vomit:

Maybe he was filming an x rated version of The Tale of Mr. Tod

Hang on, am I only the only person to think this is the weirdest part of the whole thing:
"I've already ordered a new BMW and a diamond-encrusted Soda Stream," he said.

There is your WTF, when fizzy water is less than 10p a litre from major supermarkets.
That was a coded message right there and then.

I thought badgers lived in setts.

It's a literal WTF, because I don't know WTF a "soda stream" is--a soda fountain?

A kitchen appliance for carbonating drinks.
Very eighties.

"Chinese Condoms Too Small For South Africans"

No shit?

They're breaking out of those old 1950s settsual stereotypes.

ƒucking badger-gassers.

I'd love to get a parrot and train it to say "help, they've turned me into a parrot".

And we recently had a story that escaped pet talking cockatoos are hanging out with wild cockatoos and the wild ones are learning the phrases from the ex-pets.

Imagine wlking through the park and being surrounded by dozens of cockies screeching "Help, they turned me into a bird!". :lol:

:lol:

Interesting....

Very clever!

Sounds like the gubmint is operating in a gray area of the law. On purpose.

The FBI didn't need to use fancy electronics, they just signed up for an account on F@cebook.

Slightly edited, from here.

What, he was sober? PUSSY!

* Middle of XXXXing nowhere.

He's probably been driving and shooting on the family station since he was nine. We call them stations, not farms or ranches. It's probably a couple of thousand square kilometres.

Another interesting bit... his father is deemed the culprit.
I doubt the father would be the one charged here in the US.
PS: Are wild donkeys considered a nuisance animal in Oz ?

Gun owners are required to secure their guns and ammo at all times except when actually using them.

Yes, donkeys are a feral pest. Likewise camels, cats, dogs, foxes, rabbits, goats, horses, pigs, buffalo, cane toads, millipedes and pommie backpackers on gap year.

Which makes me ask ... how did the front of the car get damaged? :eyebrow:

Dangerous animals escape Ohio farm
 

Oooh, I was going to post this.

Can you imagine? Every where you turn there might be a lion or a tiger or a bear.

I remember when I read The Life of Pi and the author talked about how there are way more "wild" non-native creatures running around than we would think. Escapes happen. I always wondered how anything could escape from a large zoo, but I hadn't thought about these kinds of places.

So they're shooting animals left and right, due to someone's need to have a bunch of wild animals in their possession.

I bet the lions, tigers, cheetahs, wolves, giraffes, camels, and bears would have rather just stayed in their own environment.

It's really sad. I do wonder if there was a coup or if the owner died from some other cause. Go animals GO. :(

I just saw a bear in the hallway! Well, it looked like a bear.

A guy in this area collected poisonous snakes. He had something like a dozen king cobras and a bunch of other snakes in his basement. And police discovered them when a cobra got out, and he called them for help finding it. He didn't have those snakes for very long after that.

So, the revolution begins!

Someone opened all the cages. Either it was Thompson, who then committed suicide (either by animal or more traditional means,) or someone deliberately came in and set them all free. I hope they catch the dumbshit and lock them up for murder.

But who would go to Africa just to watch TV?

I'd presume the cages would have locks. If so, either Thompson opened them, or someone killed him, took the keys, and opened them.

I don't see him coming outside and suddenly finding his animals running about.

PETA?

Say, Infinite Monkey, this might be a good time for you to change handles again.

Oh, and I just realized Zanesville isn't THAT far from my brother's cottage in H Hills, and if the animules escaped into the heavily wooded areas.

My whole family is going there this weekend. I'll let you know if I see a giraffe.

May sound crazy, but I'm not letting the nieces wander the trails alone. I wonder if my brother will let me carry his shotgun? ;)

Yes, you may be right.

What do you think? Infinite Dove? Infinite Manatee? Infinite Puppy?

Yes, but it won't be loaded.

you know there's a panther roaming around north dayton, don't you?

There is? Whoa! Where did that come from?

I wonder why the deputies had to be shot when they arrived.

I'll beat the bear to death with the butt of the gun. Not even a wild tiger or lion wants to mess with a perimenopausal depressive with anxiety attacks and years of pent-up anger. :lol:

Journalists today... the standards have hit bottom.

Well, when a mummy panther and a daddy panther like each other very much ...

There were quite a few errors in that piece, but that was the funniest. I thought the tv in Africa thing was funny too. lol

They found the perp

nah, it was this guy.
