Important safety tip. When coming across megafauna in the wild leave it alone.

Ho. Lee. Fock.  LOL!~  hope she's ok



Speaking of elephants, do you know about Mary? She was hung by a small town. There youtube vids as well. It saddens me a great deal, this story.

She's not.

She was seriously beaten with a stupid stick. The video is evidence of that...

I don't have any really good celebrity encounter stories. Was in an elevator once and George Clinton got on and gave me a "What up dawg?" and I once saw Pat Morita bombed out of his mind staggering around the Flamingo in Vegas. This dude had Rita Morena swipe a wing off his plate and then sit on his knee. 

"I was a cameraman for a cable show that featured entertainers on tour. I met most of them up close and personal. Liberace, The Osmonds, etc. Before the interviews, there was always a spread for the media. I was sitting down having a few chicken wings when this thin, elegant hand passed my head and snatched a wing from my plate. I looked up in protest and was met by the smiling, angelic face of Rita Moreno. She laughed, sat on my knee, and dipped her wing into my bleu cheese dressing, then sauntered away leaving behind only her perfume (mixed with the smell of chicken wings) and a hearty laugh."

Always thought that the Jackalope was taxidermy B.S. but apparently it was inspired by Shope's papilloma virus which can afflict rabbits.

Hmm...Papilloma virus. I wonder where he has been sticking his face. You might have found a new avatar for @hamstermuscle. I mean @PB The Adorable Retard
Poor little guy. Actually it's pretty cool looking if it isn't painful. He looks nice and fat so doesn't seem to interfere with getting nourishment. I bet he's a hit at jackrabbit parties

The tiger lily represents confidence and not arrogance or vanity, and this is why the flower was often associated with nobility in times past. In Buddhism, tiger lilies are symbolic of the virtues of mercy and compassion.

Capital Grille is solid.

Let me guess, the passenger has had six heart attacks and extremely high cholesterol. He is 5'6 and 289 lbs... On a cruise ship with a bacon-themed buffet and an unlimited alcoholic beverages card.

Sometimes it necessary to do the adult thing and feed the fishes.

The only one of those I've heard of is Olive Garden.  My one experience there was on par with a can of Chef-Boy-RD.

Big ownership groups always screw the pooch. It's one thing when similar-quality companies merge, it's another when Yugo buys BMW. True they shared the same need for continual repairs...

$66,000,000 to $300... Crumbs-y!
