I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

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?

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

I think that was the same story.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

pets in weddings is odd

I am in this category, myself.

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

And that this isn't rocket science.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I have friends whose dogs had wedding attire, but weren't actually at the wedding. I'll see if I can rustle up the pictures, because they are awesome.

Having originally missed the link to the chimp article, ita's post had me really alarmed for a moment.

God, me too!

Always Anti-fascist!

I used to think I might do that, but it looks like a wedding is sufficiently Not Bloody Likely that it won't be an issue.

I think having Mr. Peabody biting the ankles of the guests would add excitement to a wedding, anyway.
