Last night I was at Denny's in Emeryville, and security guards wearing big uniforms, leather gloves, batons, and sidearms (45's maybe) seated us!! They weren't just standing around like normal security guards, they were the hosts.

Nasty Rutting Skunks Invade Home
1999-02-24 06:46:00
It's one thing to have to watch the pornographic sexual acts of animals on public television stations, but how would you like to have your home turned into a disgusting SKUNK BORDELLO? With skunks engaging in raucous intercourse under your floor boards?
That's what recently happened to one family in Kentucky. Local animal control has performed numerous raids, putting the skunk fornicators to death on site, but it does no damn good... More skunks move in. The house has become a known skunk flophouse.
And the male skunks have no compunctions about battling over the female skunks in front of the family's children:
"Sunday evening, [the] daughters, Jessica and Rebecca, awoke screaming because of a battle going on beneath the floorboards."
Apparently, the worst thing is the horrendous smell. A noxious, sexual skunk-gas permeates everything, and the family's only recourse is to burn scented candles and dump odor-removing powder everywhere.

It's not like I have a heroin problem, see. I'm just a self-indulgent brat who likes to live beyond her means. When I zip down to my corner Money Mart for a little cash-till-payday loan, I'm really not planning to spend it on drugs. I'll spend it on sushi. Seventy bucks of interest for a two-week $400 loan is perfectly reasonable, if you really need that hamachi. (More...)
Canadians Not So Different After All
Nobody wants to be prejudiced. But sometimes you can be biased and not even realize it. I think many Americans are biased in this way against Canadians. I never really stopped to think about it, but I myself used to be this way. I guess I thought that Canadians were "stuck-up" — you know, smarter and better cultured than us. But then I got educated about Canadia. (More...)
