State of the Union Drinking Games permalink

Drinkinggame.US’s - Some serious math involved.

WorkingForChange.com’s - Li’l smokies can easily turn this game into a fatal one.

Ariana Huffington’s - Typical liberal drinking game.

Eggs I Love To Eat permalink

Ova du LOstrich

With the equivalent of two dozen chicken eggs in one ostrich egg, you pretty much can’t eat anything else for the rest of the day afterwards. To eat the whole thing, you should wash it down with coffee to keep you awake. Usually takes 18 hours.

Cavi-ahhhhhCaviar

Who doesn’t enjoy the taste of whale or fish eggs? Combined with a fine champagne, these sea jewels indulge your taste buds, but I don’t recommend any caviar or bubbly less than $5,000.

worth the fightCobra

Is the taste of cobra yolk worth dying for?

Very much so. While most cobras can indeed kill you, only a couple are truly deadly. Once you capture your reward, fry them using a light caramel glaze. Huge mongoose decoy highly recommended for capture.

they have a real biteAlligator

Gator eggs go great with Tabasco sauce and hash browns. Once, I incubated a gator egg, and when the youngin’ was big enough, he mauled a neighborhood cat, at which point I “released him into the wild”.

platypus: the most delicious marsupialPlatypus

I’m not sure about their delicacy or legality status, but these marsupial eggs have a robust flavor much like a packet of Poprocks going off in a bowl of salsa.

Seven dead in California post office shooting

hey hey, kidsOver the last five years, postal service workers have formed strong gang alliances among themselves, and this is just some of the violence boiling over. The shooter is from the gang, the “Stamps”, and was targeting rivals of the gang, the “Weird Little Trucks”. How many more will die in this bitter turf war?

Coretta Scott King Dies at 78

She always made me think of Francis Scott Key.

Female Mexican Wrestler Hunted As Serial Killer

The broad-shouldered gal is known as the “Little Old Lady Killer”, and has the second-highest average victim age rate in serial killer history behind only Tom Johnson of Alabama, who in 1943, counted a 112-year-old and a 108-year-old amongst his victims.

Bull gets into stands, tears spectators a new one

There’s some high-quality video of it, too. The best part is when the bull starts eating that man. Who knew bulls had such a taste for humans?
