Besides, the more opportunities we have to pad our post counts, the closer we get to the big Million. ---

You know, we could do post-count padding parties in disguise…like “post your favorite color” or “post your height.” Wait, that’s been done _ad nauseum_… What about “Post your post count?” ---

A local man was found murdered in his home over the weekend. Detectives at the scene found the man face down in his bath tub. The tub had been filled with milk and corn flakes, and the deceased had a banana protruding from his buttocks. Police suspect a cereal killer. OK, I’ll quit for a bit ---

I was reading the paper this morning and I saw a few articles in a column called “The Skinny”. The topic was Animal Cruelty. The first story was about an elderly couple in North Carolina, found dead in their pasture sometime last week. Cause of death; “blunt-force trauma”. The couple had been attacked by an “overzealous sheep”, a ram that was found with blood on its head, shoulders, and back. The second story was about a man in San Francisco, ordered to stand trial on felony animal cruelty charges. What did he do? He bit his Labrador puppy’s neck as a “form of discipline” after the puppy jumped out of the man’s truck and ran out into traffic. Passersby called the police, saying that they thought this kind of behavior “bizarre”. The man’s attorney said: “My client, in face, has French-kissed his dog. My client is very oral.” The lawyer also submitted that his client was “just using some unorthodox training methods”. Trial begins November 21, 2000. The third story takes place in the capital of Sri Lanka, where a man jumped naked into a lion cage at the zoo. The lions were able to chew away parts of the man’s arms, legs, chest, and groin before witnesses started banging on garbage cans to scare the lions away. Zoo staff got him out and took him to a hospital. Police believe that the man was “offering himself as a feast to the cats for religious reasons”, after finding a letter written by the man saying he “wanted to give ‘alms’ to the lions”. Saint Paul Pioneer Press, November 13, 2000 pg. 1G Interesting stuff in the paper today… ---
