THE Iraqi port city of Basra, already prey to a nasty turf war between rival militia factions, has now been gripped by a scary rumour – giant badgers are stalking the streets by night, eating humans.
The animals were allegedly released into the area by British forces.
Local farmers have caught and killed several of the beasts, but this has done nothing to dispel the rumour.

Every now and then God sends me a message thru FR that it’s time to stop fooling around on the internet and get back to work. I’m pretty sure this is one of those messages. : )

LOL
Well, I doubt if catching and killing a Bigfoot would do anything to dispel the Bigfoot rumours, either.

Badgers have been seen at night leaving Basra’s bars singing:
On, Wisconsin! On, Wisconsin!
Plunge right through that line!
Run the ball clear down the field,
(originally “Run the ball clear ‘round Chicago”)
A touchdown sure this time.
On, Wisconsin! On, Wisconsin!
Fight on for her fame
Fight! Fellows! - fight, fight, fight!
We’ll win this game.
On, Wisconsin! On, Wisconsin!
Stand up, Badgers, sing!
“Forward” is our driving spirit,
Loyal voices ring.
On, Wisconsin! On, Wisconsin!
Raise her glowing flame
Stand, Fellows, let us now
Salute her name!

Better then feeding the dead to pigs ala Deadwood.
Badgers fill folks with terror. I like it.

"I saw a badger with a Chinese menu in his hand
walking through the streets of Basra in the rain
he was looking for a place called Le Ho Fook's
Gonna get a big dish of beef chow mein
Hoowwll! Badgers of Basra..."
