MINNESOTA UPDATE

It's still cold here. I was thinking I would rather be in Hawaii. But now I am not so sure.

First!

Yep, in Minnesota, that snake and bat would've froze to death.

[Suzy Q]

Heh. The robot made me type "bj."

It is entirely possible that Illegal Animals is already a rock band.

Aaaaannnd, she gets the hat trick! Yay Friday!

You could have just stopped in Philadelphia - we are hovering aroud a balmy 67 degrees today, on the FIRST DAY OF DECEMBER. And our wildlife tends more to the raccoon/deer variety. You never hear about random boas wandering around.

Dave it's not so bad here. I only had to let my car run for ten minutes before I went to work this morning.

the story would be more interesting if the bat was in pier1.

[Siouxie]

YIKES! snake AND bat?? a toofer??

[Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa]

Well, I'd still go to Hawaii.

[casey]

How did they kill the bat so they could do the rabies test? Tennis racket?

[Art Vandelay]

There's no natural predator for snakes? Well thats easy just introduce an even more dangerous species. Oh wait.

Siouxie - a 'toofer' is a hick who can still chew (as opposed to gum) his food.

"On Friday a small bat was spotted by personnel in the Redevelopment Office of the state Department of Transportation on the second-floor office at Pier 11 of Aloha Tower Marketplace. The windows in that office are always left open, said Janelle Saneishi, spokeswoman of the Department of Agriculture."

Windows always open? They must not have a problem with crime over there at the Hawaii DOT. Yet.

a snake and a bat
what do you think about that?
on top of the wedding cake
that's where they're at
no, i'm sure it's no mistake
a snake and a bat
is this some kind of joke?
should i take offence?
mud's a handsome bloke
with classic countenance
his mrs. is a looker too
as graceful as a willow
(i'd give an arm and one nut to
find her face upon my pillow)
so what is this? a prank you think?
some juvenile act?
no, 'tis mud's sad commentary
on this set of facts:
his MIL's a "bat" you see
in the sense of "battle-axe"
and speaking metaphorically now,
she gave him forty whacks;
when he proposed, she twitched her nose
and conjured up a spell
and sent him, (a little too) personally,
a messenger from hell
far better than a chastity belt
this evil bottom dweller
for who would snuggle with a man
with a snake 'down in the cellar?'

[Siouxie]

LOL mud...well done!

(pssssssst...ck your email)

it was a day, like any other day, in that Linus got up, faced the sunrise, used his inhaler, applied that special cream between his toes, wrote a quick note and put it in a bottle, and wished he'd been stranded on the island with something other than 40 cases each of inhalers, decorative bottles, and special toe cream.

*snork* @ special toe cream

[Bucket]

"the bat appeared to be in a weakened state."

Uummmm..... I would be too if I had to fly all the eay to Hawaii from Mexico.

[jon]

Snake and Bat?
Is that the new show replacing Squirrel and Moose?

[MOTW]

Bravo, mud.

Officials said the area is accessible to the public 24 hours a day, and it is unknown who left the box, although they are dusting it for scaleprints. There have been a rash of abandoned snakes, given up by mothers who cannot care for the large number of broods. Officials speculate that the explosion in snake population is related to global warming.
