Visiting intellectual Connecticut woman taloned to death by parrot at Dallas Zoo after mimicking bird.



Here we go. Shark attacks simply aren't newsworthy enough.

I think they will pull this article soon, as the video is especially abhorrent.

This bird was completely WHITE before the attack:

When life looks like easy street, there is danger at your door.

I'll stick to Primrose Lane. I may not know how long or short that road ahead may be... it's there that I've met a lot of very loyal friends to help me hold the door.

Good Fortune Avenue is always a good side street to venture down... as long as you remember... Good Fortune Avenue has some of the darkest alleyways in town.  8)

I can't believe those idiots try to smuggle dope in and out of these horrid places. I was in Singapore 35 years ago, & I watched them hang a kid for smuggling heroin.

I'll never forget the flight crew's announcement as we landed in Bali ..."Please enjoy your stay here.  We welcome you to our wonderful beaches, great shopping, and excellent food. Please remember the penalty for drug trafficking is death."  (Gulp.  Better toss out that loose valium in my pocket before passing thru customs.)

Announcements like that would solve so many prolems!  "Hello and welcome to Walmart.  Our aim is to serve you everyday with the lowest possible prices.  Groceries are in aisle 1, hardwares in aisle 35, and if you shoplift we kill you!"

Nah, yours was still better.

Walmart terrifies me. As a former flight attendant, terrifies me more than preparing for a crash landing where the cartel may snag me.

Also, that's the cutest kitty in your profile pic.

Several years ago in a travel agents it transpired the girl selling the holiday used to be a cabin crew member and told of when their flight was landing at Madeira (Island off coast of Portugal); the runway is built into he side of the cliff face and it was pre-extension to it's length. She'd done the flight several times so knew exactly what happened when; and when the thrust reversers didn't kick in the instant the wheels touched she said that as one, the entire cabin crew reached under their seats! Fortunately the aircraft stopped bfore the end of the drop into the sea!

Sorry, off topic.  :-[

We can be off topic on this thread as it's Random. I was based out of NYC and only flew for three years as it was just a job til working in theater full time in NYC. I always loved flying and fortunately never had any close calls. Maybe one or two aborted landings. Also, this was in the late 80s when flying commercial was still relatively civilized. Some flights (lines) are worse than others. I miss it at times if I'm traveling. Especially the feeling of being in the aircraft. It just gets in your blood.  Yet, I can't wrap my head around the inflight behavior these days that you read of in the news these days.



It took me awhile to get the joke in this picture.

Thanks Chine.  Don't take this the wrong way but you are the honey in the Bellgab hive.  The sweet in the Bellgab sour.  And I mean that in a completely platonic, non-gender specific way.  Nice to have you back.

There is a certain comfort in knowing there is a "we don't fool around" mentality.

Good god. The thing is, most get through. The authorities are paid off to let massive amounts through while the fall guys get caught with less and "made an example of". It's the same scheme over and over again in these episodes.

In contrast, here's a delightful story about drugs backing-up a sewer.

Isn't that something? Reminds me of a conversation I overheard a few weeks ago while at a local restaurant here in Myrtle Beach. Apparently, a young couple, while frolicking in the surf, happened upon a package floating about. The package was full of about two pounds of marijuana.

The Gulf Stream had brought it up our way. Who knows how long it had been floating. Oh, and from what I gathered from the conversation, they turned it over to "the proper authorities." I  suggested to my friends at the Chamber of Commerce that they coyly let that story out, and we could save ourselves a lot of advertising tax dollars.

QuoteLaw enforcement agents raided Fogle's Zionsville, Indiana, home this morning as part of an ongoing investigation into child pornography, according to two sources briefed on the investigation. The officials told ABC News that this investigation is an offshoot of the May arrest of Russell Taylor, the then-executive director of Fogle's charity devoted to children's health.
