OK, the news this week has gotten too odd even for your dear Uncle **Bosda**. > **[The Hawk Eye - Burlington, Iowa](https://www.mississippivalleypublishing.com/the_hawk_eye/)** > [@](#): > > MOUNT PLEASANT — Trash bags filled with regurgitated food have been found littering the former Pleasant Lawn School area and in roadside ditches northeast of Mount Pleasant over the last three years. > > Late last summer, the Henry County Sheriff’s Office thought the littering had stopped. Then, on April 11, the office received another call. > > “The last call was four bags,” said Deputy Dan Wesely. Over the last three years, dozens of bags may been dropped, Wesely said. Bulimia? **Mass** Bulimia? A protest against cafeteria food? WHAT?!? :eek: 😕 :eek: 😕 ---

That’s nasty. Maybe it isn’t human vomit, though. ---

If you’ve ever watched \* **Intervention** \* on A&E, they had an episode with a woman who was bulemic who after she ate would go into her closet and vomit into a trash bag, and about once a week would throw the trash bag out. I can’t imagine how much that would smell for the week she kept it around… ---

[QUOTE=Broomstick] Am I the only one finding ironic that “Mount Pleasant” is having a problem with vomit drop-off? [/QUOTE] The Vancouver neighborhood of “Mount Pleasant” is the second most drug-addled neighborhood in the city. Where Broadway runs through it, the corners are populated by third-rate street prostitutes and crack dealers. It used to be called “Brewery Creek” (although the creek has been paved over and the breweries haven’t been based there since the 19th century,) and there was recently a campaign to officially euphemize it as “Uptown.” “Up” town. Crack central. :smack: ---
