Oh, well played!
I don’t get it.
It’s a play on a line from the song “Chattanooga Choo-Choo” - “Pardon me, boy - is that the Chattanooga Choo-Choo?”
Actually, I think it’s “Pardon me, Roy. Is that the cat that chewed your new shoes?” It flows better, anyway. “Cat that chewed your” sounds closer to “Chattanooga.”
I don’t know about bobcats in bars, but I have heard of one walking into a seafood restaurant.
Someone yelled, “Somebody call a carp!!!”
I thought **I ** was the one who’s demented!!!
Sheesh!
Pretty cute stuff in that there thread, y’all! 
Q
You are absolutely right! I cannot believe I screwed that up:smack:
Shows how dense I am this morning. I was trying to force this into a joke about the Sigfried & Roy Tiger attack. :smack:
Once the younger set gets a couple of drinks under the belt, the cougars start looking pretty damn good.
Someone should have offered the bobcat a drink. I bet he wasn’t rabid at all, just going into the DTs.
Thanks, Tamerlane, after reading about this in today;''s AZ newspaper, I came here to post a link to the pics, but you beat me to it.
We have bobcats around the house all the time, but fortunately, none have been rabid. Yet.
News reports are saying the bobcat was rabid. Could they have possibly received the test results so quickly? I have never known our health dept. to act that quickly.
I think they’re doing it wrong…that’s not where drinks go. But it does effect below the belt…
Well, they are cats.
On a serious note (since I can’t think of anything funny) - in the event you should ever find yourself needing to send a critter to the great hunting ground in the sky, DON’T SHOOT IT IN THE HEAD! That’s the only way they can test for rabies, they have to examine the brain… Lots of people (well maybe I’m being too generous for some) know this is how rabies is tested for, but in the heat of the moment they forget.
eta: oops, meant to say this is only an issue if the animal in question is acting suspicious for rabies - obviously your average Bambi is ok to shoot in the head…
It’s been quite a long time since the event, but if memory serves the rabies test came back negative. It seems officials didn’t want to spring for the “batshit insane” test, though.
Incidentally, I found another, more detailed version of the story.
And I know none of you know him, but damnit, Todd would be an absolutely stellar Doper…
I wouldn’t want to meet his maw either.
I heard it was full of rabies. Has that been confirmed one way or the other?
