Swedish flamingoes massacred in frenzied anteater attack

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.

I’m off to bed. Not feeling all that well right now, so I’ll get a jump on the Punies.

Later.

Muffins and marshmellows?

What an angel!

Sorry to hear that! I got flamingo paper plates and cups at the Dollar Store, since it’s the Theme.

The anteaters are plotting.
Dunno what they are plotting, but closets, wines, and eliminating flamingoes are part of it.

I would point out that aunteaters who are whining about needing to eliminate flamingoes in the closet need to have eaten the flamingoes in the first part..... (Besides, doesn't that whole bit about eliminating flamingoes tend to smell up the closet?)

"Besides, doesn't that whole bit about eliminating flamingoes tend to smell up the closet?"

Eliminating flamingoes tend to smell up any area they are in. That's the nature of elimination.

Or as we say around here, the nature of euphemisms.

I don’t think our grill is big enough to cook a flamingo.

"I don’t think our grill is big enough to cook a flamingo."

It sounds like an Australianism. "Come on over tonight, and we'll have a flaming go on the barbie!"

Now in some middle of the jungle place with the exact climate of the rainforest exhibit at the zoo. I kicked a tropical bird off the ship last night.

[Tax-chick]

Have you seen a scarlet ibis? How about one of those little rodenty things that walked around the rainforest exhibit sniffing the babies?

The people with the swan pond up the road have a capybara now.

[Seaman Anoreth ping! to 689. She’s doing something very secretive, with tropical wildlife and Spanish-language bookstores.]

[Anoreth]

I saw some dogs and a pelican.

[Tax-chick]

Pelicans are found everywhere, and so are dogs.

I debated last night whether to go to the PO today, wash two more loads of clothes, or just hang out. The latter won.

Tomorrow, I’ll go to the PO and maybe Saturday, I’ll wash clothes. Or not.

[Tax-chick]

Sounds good to me. Watch out for the capybara.

Awww. You never know what’s going to upset a little child. Frank doesn’t like the trash truck, even when he’s upstairs and can only hear it.

Heh. My kid wanted to grow up to be a garbage truck.

[Monkey Face]

I hope she was able to make her own wish, and not that of her parents.

[Monkey Face]

Jeeze, Robt. That was an “interesting” post about eliminating flamingoes...just as I was fixing some chocolate instant breakfast.

I kicked a tropical bird off the ship last night.

A flamingo?

[Monkey Face]

We have lots of those around here disguised as creaky old men with bladder problems.

[Monkey Face]

I don’t know of any know of anything that my son wanted to be besides funny.

But he has a good good job and likes chocolate!
