  6. New Zealand town cancels rabbit-throwing contest

    In the contest, which is held each year to coincide with the start of the pig hunt, children see how far they can throw a dead rabbit.

    But the RSPCA said the rabbit-throw sent a message to children that dead animals were fun and could legitimately be used as a form of entertainment


    /dead animals ARE fun!

  20. When I saw Killian's post above I thought for a minute it said "Rabbi throwing."

  34. Man pleads guilty to DWI in motorized La-Z-Boy

    A Minnesota man has pleaded guilty to driving his motorized La-Z-Boy chair while drunk. A criminal complaint says 62-year-old Dennis LeRoy Anderson told police he left a bar in the northern Minnesota town of Proctor on his chair after drinking eight or nine beers.

    Prosecutors say Anderson's blood alcohol content was 0.29, more than three times the legal limit, when he crashed into a parked vehicle in August 2008. He was not seriously injured.

    Police said the chair was powered by a converted lawnmower and had a stereo and cup holders.

  35. Here we go:

    boss i went
    and interviewed the mummy
    of the egyptian pharaoh
    in the metropolitan museum
    as you bade me to do

    what ho
    my regal leatherface
    says i

    greetings
    little scatter footed
    scarab
    says he

    kingly has been
    says i
    what was your ambition
    when you had any

    insignificant
    and journalistic insect
    says the royal crackling
    in my tender prime
    i was too dignified
    to have anything as vulgar
    as ambition
    the ra ra boys
    in the seti set
    were too haughty
    to be ambitious
    we used to spend our time
    feeding the ibises
    and ordering
    pyramids sent home to try on
    but if i had my life
    to live over again
    i would give dignity
    the regal razz
    and hire myself out
    to work in a brewery

    old tan and tarry
    says i
    i detect in your speech
    the overtones
    of melancholy

    yes i am sad
    says the majestic mackerel
    i am as sad
    as the song
    of a soudanese jackal
    who is wailing for the blood red
    moon he cannot reach and rip

    on what are you brooding
    with such a wistful
    wishfulness
    there in the silences
    confide in me
    my perial pretzel
    says i

    i brood on beer
    my scampering whiffle snoot
    on beer says he

    my sympathies
    are with your royal
    dryness says i

    my little pest
    says he
    you must be respectful
    in the presence
    of a mighty desolation
    little archy
    forty centuries of thirst
    look down upon you

    oh by isis
    and by osiris
    says the princely raisin
    and by pish and phthush and phthah
    by the sacred book perembru
    and all the gods
    that rule from the upper
    cataract of the nile
    to the delta of the duodenum
    i am dry
    i am as dry
    as the next morning mouth
    of a dissipated desert
    as dry as the hoofs
    of the camels of timbuctoo
    little fussy face
    i am as dry as the heart
    of a sand storm
    at high noon in hell
    i have been lying here
    and there
    for four thousand years
    with silicon in my esophagus
    as gravel in my gizzard
    thinking
    thinking
    thinking
    of beer

    divine drouth
    says i
    imperial fritter
    continue to think
    there is no law against
    that in this country
    old salt codfish
    if you keep quiet about it
    not yet

    what country is this
    asks the poor prune

    my reverend juicelessness
    this is a beerless country
    says i

    well well said the royal
    desiccation
    my political opponents back home
    always maintained
    that i would wind up in hell
    and it seems they had the right dope

    and with these hopeless words
    the unfortunate residuum
    gave a great cough of despair
    and turned to dust and debris
    right in my face
    it being the only time
    i ever actually saw anybody
    put the cough
    into sarcophagus

    dear boss as i scurry about
    i hear of a great many
    tragedies in our midsts
    personally i yearn
    for some dear friend to pass over
    and leave to me
    a boot legacy
    yours for the second coming
    of gambrinus

  40. DEZ: There's lots I haven't memorized, lots I haven't read, and lots I've forgotten.

    But I am fortunate--at least, most of the time it seems fortunate--in having a pretty good memory for all kinds of odds and ends.

    ReplyDelete
  61. DEZ--the kicker is that, looking back, I can see my mistakes, and how I might have won and won big had I done one or two things differently. But that is life.

    The great thing is that once the paperwork is finally wrapped up--a few weeks--I should be able to do some things that I formerly did not have time to. One door closes; another opens.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Sure thing! Everyone have what they need? I'm going to grab some snacks.

  81. It was a hot Saturday evening in the summer of 1961, and Fred had a date
    with Peggy Sue.

    He arrived at her house and rang the bell.
    'Oh, come on in!' Peggy Sue's mother said as she Welcomed Fred in.
    'Have a seat in the living room. Would you like something to drink?
    Lemonade? Iced tea?'
    'Iced tea, please,' Fred said..
    Mom brought the iced tea.
    'So, what are you and Peggy planning to do tonight?' She asked.
    'Oh, probably catch a movie, And then maybe grab a bite to eat at The
    malt shop, maybe take a walk on the beach..'
    'Peggy likes to screw, you know,' Mom informed him.
    'Really?' Fred replied, his eyebrows rising.
    'Oh yes,' the mother continued, 'When she goes out with her friends,
    that's all they do! Screw, again and again!!'
    'Is that so?' asked Fred, incredulous.
    'Yes,' said the mother. 'As a matter of fact, she'd screw all night if we
    let her!'
    'Well, thanks for the tip!' Fred said as he began Thinking about alternate
    plans for the evening.
    A moment later, Peggy Sue came down the stairs Looking pretty as a
    picture, wearing a pink blouse and A hooped skirt, and with her hair tied
    back In a bouncy ponytail. She greeted Fred.
    'Have fun, kids!' the mother said as they left.
    Two hours later, a completely disheveled Peggy Sue Burst into the house
    and slammed the Front door behind her.
    'The Twist, Mom!' she angrily yelled to Her mother in the kitchen.
    "The freakin' dance is called the TWIST!!!"

  88. 9 year old Jack was staying with his grandmother for a few days.
    He'd been playing outside with the other kids for a while when he came into
    the house and asked her,
    'Grandma, what's that called when two people sleep in the same room and one
    is on top of the other?'
    She was a little taken aback, but she decided to tell him the truth. 'It's
    called sexual intercourse, darling.'
    Little Tony said, 'Oh, ok,' and went back outside to play with the other
    kids.
    A few minutes later he came back in and said angrily,
    'Grandma, it isn't called sexual intercourse. It's called bunk beds.
    And Jimmy's mum wants to talk to you.'

    1. You refine heroin for a living, but you have a moral objection to beer.

    2. You own a $3,000 machine gun and $5,000 rocket launcher, but you can't
    afford shoes.

    3. You have more wives than teeth.

    4. You wipe your butt with your bare hand, but consider bacon "unclean."

    5. You think vests come in two styles: bullet-proof and suicide.

    6. You can't think of anyone you haven't declared Jihad against.

    7. You consider television dangerous, but routinely carry explosives in
    your clothing.

    8. You were amazed to discover that cell phones have uses other than
    setting off roadside bombs.

    9. You have nothing against women and think every man should own at least
    one.

    And all the tasty candy remains here for me to eat.

  102. Dan and his buddies were hanging out and planning a 5-day golf trip.
    Unfortunately, he had to tell them that he couldn't go because his wife
    wouldn't let him!

    After a lot of teasing and name calling, Dan headed home totally frustrated.
    The following week when Dan's buddies arrived at the golf resort, they were
    shocked to see Dan sitting in the lobby, drinking a beer, holding his
    putter!

    "How did you talk your wife into letting you go, Dan?"

    "I didn't have to," Dan replied. "Last night I slumped down in my
    chair with a beer to drown my sorrows. Then, my wife snuck up behind me and

    covered my eyes and said, 'Surprise.' When I peeled her hands back, she
    was standing there in a beautiful see-through negligee and said, 'Carry me
    into the bedroom, tie me to the bed and you can do whatever you want' ..

    SO HERE I AM !"

  115. Burglar caught sleeping in pub's freezer

    RIDGE MANOR, Fla. (AP) - A Gulf Coast man was arrested after falling asleep in the freezer of a shuttered pub he was trying to rob.

    Investigators said the man hopped a fence in Ridge Manor and pried open a locked storage shed. He allegedly ate a can of tomatoes, entered the walk-in freezer and took a nap.

    A Hernando deputy discovered the 49-year-old on Sunday during a security check of the building. He faces a commercial burglary charge.

  118. In college I used to hang out in a bar called the Pub. A drinking bar. The kind of place where you would not be the only one sitting there at 10:00 a.m. if that happened to be your prefered time of day to drink. Not a particularily classy joint like you have here. We used to call it the Pube.

  127. Four men go fishing. After an hour, the following conversation took place:


    First guy: 'You have no idea what I had to do to be able to come out fishing this weekend. I had to promise my wife that I would paint every room in the house next weekend.'


    Second guy: 'That is nothing, I had to promise my wife that I would build her a new deck for the pool.'


    Third guy: 'Man, you both have it easy! I had to promise my wife that I would remodel the kitchen for her.'


    They continue to fish. When they realized that the fourth guy has not said a word, they asked him. 'You haven't said anything about what you had to do to be able to come fishing this weekend.What's the deal?'
