Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I don't see the big deal -- people often have their pets in their weddings. It's goofy, but I don't know that its evidence of a wildly-skewed world view.

Their pet got taken away and stuck in a shitty sanctuary where they were injured when animals escaped. Then he was stuck in another shitty sanctuary that let HIM escape.

Now their pet, who they've had for forty years, is likely to end up shot. It's horrible.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

I would posit that the upshot of the story is that many wild animals make crappy pets.

(Now of course I am stuck with the idea of dogs wearing diapers rather than be trained, and having giggleworthy thoughts about whether the diapers would have to match the wedding decor.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Now I'm thinking about dogs attending funerals, where they have to wear black diapers.

I think Fran Drescher did too. You see it on weird cable shows too.

In that story, they make bad sanctuary inhabitants. Or there are plenty of bad sanctuaries.

I agree they make bad pets, btw -- but forty years ago when they brought the little guy home people were dumber about such things... and they didn't sell him to a lab (which happened plenty), they did the best they could by him. And now there is a good chance he'll end up dead.

I remember an episode of Emergency Vets where a bride's pot-bellied pig was the ringbearer.

In the Darwin award category, there was a teenager who was killed here other day at Six Flags when he was hit by the Batman ride [link] He had climbed two substantial fences with Danger and Restricted Area signs to get underneath the ride. I feel bad when teenage stupidity is terminal, but I don't know what else Six Flags could do, other than wrapping its guests in bubble wrap.

Art Crawl!!!

Ginger, wasn't there a recent story of somebody decapitated by a rollercoaster when they did something similar?

(Somewhere in the south - NC, maybe.)

Your story is probably the one I was thinking of - I mean, how many teens get killed by rollercoasters in any given week?

I think that was the same story.
