Mucky's outraged
CALGARY, Alberta -- You've heard of Jello shots, but how about goldfish shots? Canadian animal welfare officials say they're investigating a bizarre complaint about people drinking live goldfish, swimming in a glass full of booze. Cheryl Wallach, a spokeswoman for the Calgary Humane Society, said a downtown restaurant and bar was apparently handing out the goldfish shots. Wallach said people do a lot of crazy things with animals, but this is a first. Investigators will look into whether the goldfish shot incident actually occurred and whether the fish suffered. A manager at the restaurant said it's something they've always done, but isn't providing any more details.
Oboy! Goldfish swallowing! The 20's are back! Hot-cha-cha-cha! Beau-dee-oh-do! Poop poop be doop and 23-skidoo! Hurrah!

PUNXSUTAWNEY, Pa. -- Punxutawney Phil has "spoken," and the news isn't good.The world's most famous furry forecaster saw his shadow Wednesday on Gobbler's Knob, suggesting another six weeks of wintry weather. The chubby critter devlivered the prediction after he was pulled from his burrow in an oak stump at 7:31 a.m. by a top-hatted handler, and his prediction was greeted by boos from the thousands in attendance. "He's only the messenger!" one of the members of the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club -- the volunteer group in charge of Phil and the town's Groundhog Day festivities -- reminded the crowd braving the frigid weather.

I don't recall a time that Punxsutawney Phil didn't see his shadow. Oh, well, it is spring somewhere. You have to like a place that celebrates Groundhog's Day.

There is no way this winter is *ever* going to end as long as that groundhog keeps seeing his shadow. I don't see any way out of it. He's got to be stopped. And I have to stop him.
Looking for a unique way to support the fight against animal abuse? The British founder of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), the world's biggest animal rights group, is auctioning off a lizard tattoo on her right arm -- with proceeds going to the charity. Billed as "waterproof and weathered" and "suitable for making into a wallet or watch strap," the tattoo is being offered on Web site eBay to draw attention to the plight suffered by skinned animals. "It's the only skin you can wear and use with the express permission of the original owner," said Ingrid Newkirk of her tattoo. "Euphemisms like 'leather' and 'meat' help mask the cruelty that goes into stealing and slaughtering for clothing, trinkets and taste ... It may be uncomfortable to contemplate, but we're all flesh and blood," she said Tuesday.
Sigh. Looking in the mirror this morning, I saw mostly lard...
The purchase price will be donated to PETA's "Shed Your Skin" Campaign, which promotes alternatives to leather and exotic animal skins. But the winning bidder might have a long wait getting hold of the tattoo: it will only be delivered after its owner has passed away.
What was it they said was born every minute?

hey!! These women aren't topless and covering their naked tops with those pink hearts, as the photos would lead us to believe. The are fully covered in beachtowels!

It's a illegal auction. It violates the TOS of Ebay. and the auction will be closed. It's a cute publicity stunt but the person in question is still a twit.

Yikes! That airplane was headed straight at my house, about 15 blocks away. I got caught this morning in the big traffic jam that resulted when Highway 46 was closed.

Another tidbit: Some of the 9/11 hijackers stayed for a while at a motel about four blocks from where that airplane crashed.

A Kuwaiti woman, identified as Nadia, Monday told the Detention Renewal Judge she was married to her 'lover,' identified as Emad, before the judge renewed her detention for fifteen more days. The Public Prosecution is accusing Nadia of committing adultery after her Kuwaiti husband caught her and Emad in bed in his home two weeks ago.
"My wife! My best friend! My baseball glove!"
Case papers indicate on Jan 13, 2005, Nadia's husband, who was on a business trip to the US, returned home without informing his wife and caught the 'stranger' and his wife in bed. The shocked husband prevented the man from escaping and hit him on the head with a vase. Then, he strangled him to death. However, Nadia escaped from the scene and remained hidden until she was arrested by police.
"Jeeze!" she said. "I'm gettin' outta here!"
Investigations revealed Nadia, who got the Kuwaiti citizenship only a year ago, told the Prosecution most of the time she lived in the West and was not aware marrying another man other than her husband was forbidden.
"We do that in the West all the time!"
When the Prosecution asked Nadia about the 'urfi marriage' (a document showing she had married Emad), she said it was in 'his' possession.
"Didja look in his wallet? I din't wanna touch him. I don't like dead guys. Besides, my husband was trying to bean me with the vase!"
However, the Prosecution ordered the detention of Nadia and her husband who has killed Emad. The husband will be referred to the Detention Renewal Judge on Wednesday. His lawyers — Tareq Al-Khars and Nivin Marafi - from Khaled Abdul Jalil's office told the Arab Times they will request the judge to release their client on any guarantee.

Nadia you are naughty little vixen. Does the killing of the stranger who cuckolded Emad qualify as personal jihad? Damn, this is better than the daily soaps.
Did not see attorneysTareq Al-Khars and Nivin Marafi - from Khaled Abdul Jalil's office... in my yellow pages. Note to myself, use some other attorneys if absolutely necessary.
