| Raccoon falls through ceiling into packed LSU dining hall |
| 2022-02-18 |
| BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — A raccoon fell through the ceiling into a packed dining hall at Louisiana State University as students screamed and a cook tried to catch it in a basket. Freshman Danielle Gipson told The Reveille student newspaper that everyone was standing up and looking around for a raccoon when she went into the 459 Dining Hall for dinner Wednesday. "I went and still got my food because I thought that it was fake," she said. "The raccoon then ran underneath my table and I immediately got on top of the chair." One video posted with the article showed the raccoon running between tables, then climbing onto a chair and looking around. Another shows people chasing it with a broom and a stick or perhaps two brooms. Screams are all that can be heard on either. Gipson says she lost her appetite when friends told her the raccoon had been on top of her bag while she was gone. "I am just scared that my bag has a disease," she said. "Right now it’s funny to look back at, but at the moment, I was traumatized. My appetite is definitely gone." |

| #23 Yeah but you have to cook them for a really loooong time to get rid of the fat, Darth. And they have plenty of it. And it stinks to high heaven while you do. |

| #21 I had a friend who tried to drive away from a traffic stop once. He made it to his driveway and parked his car. He told the cop "I'm not driving now." The cop said, "This isn't Parcheesi, son..." |

| #3 A dog sized coon is running around the neighborhood right now. Doesn't look rabid, but its behavior is outside the profile. My neighbor is trying to trap it. I have the Ruger Mk. IV ready... |

| #1 "I am just scared that my bag has a disease," she said. "Right now it’s funny to look back at, but at the moment, I was traumatized. My appetite is definitely gone." It will likely stop being 'funny' soon. Wen it begins to swell and turn blue, head on over to sick call. |
