Current AP story listed here: Tiger Critically Injures Magician Roy Horn

[Porterville]

Yeah, well I have two dogs, the way I estimate, a tiger ways nearly 15 times more than my 60 pound dog... I ain't going near it... that said, I wish it wasn't so serious. But...but.... I bet he was/is a democrat liberal.

[Timesink]

I wonder if ticket stubs from that show pop up on e-Bay.

Or a lot of pelts.

[Hildy]

Did anyone see the 60 minutes with them? These two guys came to this country with NOTHING...They are so incredibly wealthy today. I hope he's ok.

[Chad Fairbanks]

Ouch.

Note to self: Do not hit tigers in the nose with microphones.

I was planning on doing that this weekend. It's a good thing I came across this post!

Now I have to resort to Plan B: Hit neighbor's pitbulls in the nose with a rolled-up newspaper.

"I remember an episode of the Simpsons had this scenario -- a tiger (can't remember if it was white) attacking his swishy German master during a Vegas-style performance."

That just played here on a local TV station earlier today. Mmmmmm.... DOH!!

[Afronaut]

Wow its a real story... Ouch

[Heatseeker]

If, God forbid, this horror should ever occur, please email details to Mrs Heatseeker. We are now up to four and counting... :(

[BunnySlippers]

That's another thing. I don't think they should put the tiger down for this. After all, it was Roy who was pounding the animal on the nose. I'm sure the show is great ... but it's like dancing bears.

FWIW: The below statement and picture were taken from their website:

Siegfried & Roy Not Surprised With Schwarzenegger's Governor Bid

Siegfried. During a recent conversation, Siegfried & Roy expressed support for his campaign. Roy said that "Arnold just might make the difference...he understands leadership. I think he will show the strength of the Terminator to solve California's problems and make it a better place to live and to conduct business. As a former immigrant, he knows the needs of people. He's a secure person who cannot be influenced or bought. As governor I believe he will only propel the well being of the state and the people."

Careful, look what happened to these guys.

Here is "Max" chillin and catching some rays! (he is a Maine Coon mix)

oops... here is the entire paragraph:

Siegfried & Roy were not surprised when their friend Arnold Schwarzenegger declared himself a candidate for the race for California governor. "Whenever he visited us, he would talk about politics and what was lacking in California government," recalls Roy. "His friends knew that he has always been outspoken when it comes to politics," added Siegfried. During a recent conversation, Siegfried & Roy expressed support for his campaign. Roy said that "Arnold just might make the difference...he understands leadership. I think he will show the strength of the Terminator to solve California's problems and make it a better place to live and to conduct business. As a former immigrant, he knows the needs of people. He's a secure person who cannot be influenced or bought. As governor I believe he will only propel the well being of the state and the people."

I love that kitty photo!

OK, then I'll go to plan C: Flick hamsters in the nose with my index finger.

[DittoJed2]

If the Tiger has tasted human blood, that wouldn't be good either.

[Lib-Lickers 2]

LOL,, I hear that,, I just don't think the Freak Jackson actually plays with his tigers,, wasn't Liberace a Republican?,, you just never know,,

[Elliott Jackalope]

I dunno about that plan. Those hamsters can get pretty nasti.

My sister got bitten by a hamster once....
