People never get advertising with an edge.
Well I thought it was funny!
Well damnit, now Iām hungry!
Reminds me of sketches Iāve seen of an ice creamery and crematorium. With flavors like āChocolate Chip Cookie Do Not Resuscitateā, āKids, I Think Itās Time You Learned About Death by Chocolateā and āPushing Up Daquirisā.
Things I learned from this article:
-
People smuggle birds.
-
You can smuggle them in hair curlers and theyāll (sometimes) survive.
-
Thereās such a thing as a birdsong competition.
Itās really big in countries that donāt have very effective customs services.
Just donāt try it in Australia, they have dogs that sniff for not just drugs, but dirt/ animals/ food from specific geographic locales !
Is a birdsong the same as a bird call?
Letterman did a segment with bird callers every year, IIRC.
Are they just dinos? You make the call !
The article says-
Songbird competitions have been a pastime in the Caribbean for centuries. Aficionados judge the animals on such factors as how many times they chirp or sing.
Who knew?
Well, people from the Caribbean obviously, but who else?
Not that funny a story, but I love the headline.
āIncredibly intelligent, highly elusiveā: US faces new threat from Canadian āsuper pigā
Before you know it those pigs will have occupied northern Montana and that weird little strip of Idaho and declared the Porcine Republic of No Bacon for You
We cannot abide by a āPig- Gapā, we must weaponize !
Quick, to the training facility !
From the No-More-Room-in-Hell-the-Sewers Dept.:
ā¦is this New York or Florida?
Oh, it is definitely New York City, the alligator is the one that had to be rescued.
Didnāt you know New York had alligators in the sewers?
100 alligators every year in New York City, so this isnāt even special.
At this point, when they captured Lyle Lyle Crocodile, it wasnāt even newsworthy.
I mean, yes but āweird story about alligatorsā is a Floridian specialty.
