Ostriches and the Golden Gate Bridge

Of all the interesting cargo on the Golden Gate Bridge, I'll vote for ostriches in a minivan.

When said cargo gets loose, there has to be some kind of interesting reactions from the drivers on the bridge.

As for the owner of these creatures, he says "Strange things always seem to happen with ostriches."

Uh... yeah... maybe that's why you should transport them in something other than a minivan...

Three down, six to go

From the "No doubt some cats need nine lives" Department comes this little nugget of a story.

Cat people will probably rush into the lurch and adopt this goofball cat.

I'd stay away.

Using its lives three at a time, it only has two more stupid stunts like this until it's "Goodbye Kitty."

Do we really ever lose anything?

As shown here, it appears to be impossible to actually lose things. We might misplace them for a little while, but somehow they seem to find us when the time is right.

Maybe it works that way for people as well. Maybe they just show up, unexpectedly, when the time is right.

The fisherman has the right idea, methinks -- "Life is full of mysteries."

Don't mess with your utility company...

Pretty funny stuff (as long as I don't get a similar bill) from the wonderful world of bill modification can be found in this recent story.

I guess the concept of customer service has taken a sharp turn, prompting employees to add their two cents' worth.

In the cases cited, maybe it would've made more sense for the employees to have ignored the words of "Bitch Dog" and "Scrotum Bag." And to have remembered that some computer somewhere tracked your actions...

Computer giveaway yields insanity

Yup. Over the past 30 years of computer use, I've seen people do outright strange things when a sale comes about.

The question I'll pose about this wackiness is "Would you pee down your leg to keep your place in line?" Just think about the dynamic here. You've come to buy a four year-old computer for $50. No one else is (apparently) willing to save your place in line. What would you do?

The comment by the lady behind The Urinator in line was just priceless -- "I've never been in something like that before, and I never again will."

Lord, woman, let's hope not...

Finally, a reason to go to Big Lots

Who would've thought the shoppers at Big Lots carry big bucks?

Having been there, it's either an acquired taste or there must be some other attraction. Maybe they just have comfortable recliners there.

This elderly woman in Wisconsin seemed to be in favor of catching a nap at her Big Lots. What in Heaven's name she was going to do with $60K in a Big Lots store is open to conjecture.

I'm guessing they were having a r-e-a-l-l-y good sale.

Blog maintenance

Uh-oh. It looks like it's been two months since I wrote in this thing.

And it's most assuredly not due to a lack of stupidity and weirdness in the world. I just needed a vacation from it -- six months of writing was involved in the first edition (the original blog).

So... against my better judgment, it's time to start writing again.

I'll be picking out stories from the world at large and commenting on them in my usual moronic way. I'll try to stay away from Reuters stories, as the links become invalid rather quickly.

Yippie! I'm off to forage the Internet for signs of the decline of mankind.

Wish me luck...

Oh yeah... goodenuff
