Swedish flamingoes massacred in frenzied anteater attack
The Local (Sweden) ^ | April 5, 2011

A flock of ten flamingoes have met a brutal end at a zoo in Eskilstuna in eastern Sweden after a curious anteater broke into their compound and clawed them to death, leaving a further five birds nursing injuries.

Dude, you are way too easy to entertain.

I bet you’re even a cheap drunk. I used to be, by scheduling my drinking after I had donated blood.

I'm an expensive drunk.

Beer= Carlsberg or Sam Adams.

Champagne= Dom Perignon.

If you can drink Sam Adams, you can drink Straub.

Come on out. We’ll see how much it costs.

Enjoyed lunch & warmth. Then, because my feet hurt just hiking to meeting place and back, I got a weeklong transit pass. Used it to take the famous cablecar to Fisherman's Wharf and on a whim took a $15 boat tour shortly before sunset. Then had an okay dinner and took a streetcar back. The streetcars are ancient (deliberately) and VERY different from European "streettrains" (strassebahns).

Learned about Bin Ladin, and am looking at TV now.

Oh joy. Travel alerts worldwide, and a week from tomorrow I leave for Germany via Paris. I'm more frequently mistaken for a German over there these days, but I'll be lugging an equipment case that screams "American."

Maybe if I get a pair of German sandals. *\;^)

(Waiting for the cablecar I suspected the couple in front of me of being German. Not sure why, but something said they were. I became sure when I noted he was wearing a certain kind of sandals despite the cowboy hat. When they spoke, it was confirmed.)

” It is the younger generation, I say, with all their “Dancing With the Stars” nonsense.”

I misread that as “Dancing with the STAIRS” which brought to mind horrible things.
Better keep the scorps happy, they get all myrmidon on you if you are late with their food.

The brass told Obama that SEALS were going in, he thought they meant these guys.

Obviously they were all staring at the bowl.
Upon hearing the distinct sound of ‘human walking in’ they all slowly swiveled to stare at the unfortunate being under their hex vision.

Gnomes drag off their dead and wounded so the enemy cant get a good body count.

They are sneaky little buggers.

I dunno what it is with these secretive government agencies and running down my lawn gnome. They practice in my yard all the time. Never ends. I’m out in the yard and hear “whop whop whop whop whop”.. Naturally I look at my shoes to make sure I didn’t step on anything before looking around.
A voice yells at me to ‘get down’ with my ‘hands up’.
Complete nonsense, so I ask “what?!”
Finally I notice the huge helicopter hovering over my pool.
Guy must’ve been looking for somewhere to go fishing or something.
He was gesticulating wildly and waving his arms frantically.
I knew what was coming next, and sure enough, an urban assault vehicle comes tearing up into my yard and thumps down my lawn gnome.

Just like last week.
I walked past a vehicle parked out in front of my house.
Guy inside it says, “He’s home.”
I ignored the ninjas jumping out my windows, they’re always ninjas jumping out my windows for some reason, and wandered up to my front door.
As I was unlocking the door, a pest control vehicle marked ‘S.W.A.T.’ drives across the grass and runs down my lawn gnome.
I barely had time to get the door open to escape those vicious psychotic lawn gnome murdering pest control guys.

And today, today my lawn gnome was run down by bicycle cops.
I’m gettin’ tired of burying my lawn gnomes.
They’re getting tired of it too and are now complaining.

The gnomes keep trolls at bay because trolls try to eat the gnomes.
So it’s a type of early warning system.
I hear the screaming and squealing of the gnome, and I run outside with old Bertha in time to see the troll standing in the yard with kicking gnome legs sticking out of his mouth.
A little quick application of rock salt and the troll is done.

As for the ninjas.
Dunno what they’re doing.
They don’t talk much, and they’re everywhere too.

I opened up the fridge, and a ninja was hiding in there.
He at least handed me what I was looking for before I closed the door again.
Dunno why he was in there, but I figured he had a reason to be in there.
