ALL KINDS OF CRITTERS ON A PLANE
Key Quote: The married couple however denied smuggling the pet snake which was spotted by a horrified passenger on the floor of the aircraft but admitted to illegally importing forty-six baby rats whom they stored in a box, hidden inside a backpack they carried into the plane.
Flakes and snakes on a plane.With rats!

It's no fun being first when you are not competing with anyone. *hears crickets*

Were the baby rats in a clear, one quart plastic bag?

"The baby rats were smuggled to feed the pet snake,..."
They were carrion.

*snork* @ Stevie! (although I did that bit last year, I'd forgotten about it).

@ Steve and Annie.

Well you've stolen a couple of mine too. Ha ha ha !
Posted by: Stevie W | January 27, 2007 at 03:13 PM
Maybe they were their seeing-eye rats.
Posted by: Stevie W | January 27, 2007 at 03:19 PM
Yes. I smuggled them aboard my private jet! And it was fun. And I'd do it again. Ha-ha!

I like you better without them.
Bye all.
Posted by: Stevie W | January 27, 2007 at 03:23 PM
I've never been able to get more than 40 rats in a box, and I had to use a mortar and pestle for that. These guy's are good!
Posted by: Jazzzz | January 27, 2007 at 03:24 PM
hmmm, rats-in-a-box. That sounds a lot like another fast food outlet...

Did anyone check the passengers for lip balm?

Do ya'll realise that in about 6 to 7 hours I'm going to be sipping my morning coffee and tripping on doughnuts and you guys will still be blogging.

"The baby rats are in quarantine, waiting for further instructions from the department headquarters...,"
Obedient little critters, aren't they?
Posted by: Stevie W | January 27, 2007 at 05:27 PM
I think that they were emotional support rats and should be allowed on the plane.
Posted by: Jessica R. | January 27, 2007 at 05:33 PM
What do they do to pass the time....play Mouse Trap™ ?
Posted by: Jazzzz | January 27, 2007 at 05:33 PM
Don't it make your Brunei's ground?
Posted by: Stevie W | January 27, 2007 at 05:38 PM
how DO you do it, Steve W ?
Posted by: Jazzzz | January 27, 2007 at 05:51 PM
*OT alert* folks, I have literally hundreds of photos from today of our successful capture of the City of Tampa. There are, of course, lots of naked ladies. The question is, do I sit here and drink beer or do I diligently compress images and post them to the internet? Thank you, in advance, for saying, 'take a break CJ, we're all good.'
I love you guys!
Posted by: CJrun | January 27, 2007 at 06:01 PM
Howdy, missed you guys.
When I read this I thought of that old children's book about the King, the Mouse, and the Cheese.

Great Gerry and the Pacemakers tune, written by Lennon and McCartney. Remember?

Wyo!!! been wonderin' about you..Thought you've been working too hard, as usual. Welcome back. How about a tall glass of iced tea?
Posted by: Jazzzz | January 27, 2007 at 06:29 PM
beer, thanks.
I'm too old to be learning new tricks and workin' outside. but it'll all be worth it soon. I woke up with about 30 deer and 50 turkeys in the yard this morning. (no rats, alas) so life ain't so bad.
Thanks for askin', Jazzzz

Thank goodness blurk isn't here, just now, or it would be all about the bare naked ladies. Today was fabulous, with formations of every kind of plane circling us, including groups of bi-planes. Gasparilla is also about the MacDill peninsula. It will be a very busy week, but at some point I will post a gallery link to planes coming across us at mast height and, naked gals, and up over 50 mph across Tampa Bay! We started the day with my friends pulling the lower unit of a 454, got it fixed in the driveway, and actually had to relax and slow down to 30 mph, which is flying in a 2-foot chop! What a great group of people and a boat with enough power that we could place ourselves anywhere, or scoot aside and get more beads. *Wishes everybody a happy Gasparilla, an official Holiday around here*

I SAID Happy Gasparilla! Everybody take a deep breath. and realize this is about rescuing the kidnapped Princess from Gaspar Island and taking Tampa by force. It's all good. It was touch and go there, for a bit, but the City of Tampa is in the safe hands of the pirates, now.
You're welcome!
Posted by: CJrun | January 27, 2007 at 07:23 PM
Thank you! ?
Okay, drinks all around, Cj--Mojitos recipe stat!
Posted by: Cheryl Howard | January 27, 2007 at 07:27 PM

He did drink the solvents, didn't he?
Posted by: Edgar Greenberg | January 27, 2007 at 09:09 PM
edgar, i don't think beer counts as a solvent.

Crossgirl beer dissolves many things. Troubles, sorrow, sanity...

"Uninvited Reptiles" is my vote for GNFARB Of The Year.
And, CJ, I am absolutely mystified about what it is you're talking about, but you nevertheless have my undying (I hope....) gratitude. Happy Gasparilla!
Welcome back, Wyo C.

CJ, We'd love to see you pictures of whatever he heck it is you're (not your) talking about. If you would like to save some effort, just concentrate on compressing and posting the ones of the naked ladies. (And naked men, if you have any, just to be fair to the blog-chicks.)
Posted by: AlanBoss | January 27, 2007 at 11:10 PM
I have just one question. Could this cause a plane to crash?
