Thursday thumpings

Farmers use bull semen to inseminate cows
(So there really is truth to the saying, "My cow just died and I don't need your bull!")






'Cut and run' vs. 'stay and die'
(If there were ever a statement that covered my mixed feelings about a family - or high school - reunion, this would be it.)











Well, it's cooled down here a bit - thankfully. However, I rode the metro in to work for the first time in a few months, and I can honestly say I don't miss some of it. I miss being able to relax and unwind, but since I got a late start today I couldn't really unwind. I was forever looking at my watch. I prefer carpooling with D - we get to spend time with each other that we might not spend on a regular basis.

OK - it's AWARD time now...for those of you who are first-timers here, the good folks here at Rancho Sudiegirl have created some awards for those that are truly WORTHY of them.


Today's discovery has proved itself deserving of an established award, but has also prompted a new award to be created. So I present to you these two honors...and you be the judge of whether both are necessary.
















This un-named idiot pulled this particularly breath-taking and STUPID stunt in Western Australia, but alas, we have no name for the "brain trust".

According to this article, our mystery doof was having car trouble. He must have left both his brain and his cell phone at home on the kitchen table because he devised a positively dramatic (not to mention deadly) way to get attention and assistance for his breakdown.

He played dead in the middle of the road. Yep, just like a wallaby hit by a semi, this guy laid down in the middle of the road. Oddly enough, he was not killed.

Why?

Because the woman who encountered his body swerved to avoid it, then called the police to report the situation. When the cops came, they found the man alive and well and in need of mechanical assistance. Oddly enough, they didn't press charges. Why? I dunno - maybe that's just how they do things down under.

So to the Mystery Pretend Corpse, you can go suck your egg and enjoy your dumb luck. You may never have it again!

On that note...I am in search of more things to gripe - er, write - about. Bye-e!
