Moses the camel rises from an Oregon City sinkhole

This has a happy ending:

Moses, a 1,200- to 1,500-pound Bactrian camel (that's the two-hump kind) got himself stuck in a sinkhole on his owners' rural Oregon City property late Tuesday. Mike and Kim Dilworth, who've owned Moses since he was just weeks old, could see only the animal's head sticking out of the mud.

A friend of mine who had a Mohawk got a cool dragon tattoo on her skull. She said if she wanted a conservative job all she had to do was grow her hair.

There was a dude in the Freak-Ass Church who was heavily tattooed and was a cranky, surly, ex-junkie, musician, chef who smoked like a house on fire. One of his many tattoos -- on the back of his head -- said FUCK DISCO.

Sitting behind someone with FUCK DISCO tattooed on the back of his head makes church a whole lot more interesting, I tell you what.

End of the stuck-camel story:

As for the Clackamas County firefighters, McAdoo said they're getting pretty good with animal rescues.

"I don't know why we are the pet rescue fire department," McAdoo said. "Some of the guys on the rescue of the camel were there when we did the cow in the well. We're getting this down."

Cow in the well? Jesus.

Pity I never posted that. Typo Boy "Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?" Sep 15, 2010 5:31:34 pm PDT

Woops. Sorry.

S'Okay. I'm enough of a skipper and skimmer that I should not complain when someone else misses one of mine.

I hope there's cake, Nora, something that goes well with delicious beer!

OMG I HAVE HAD NO CAKE!!!!

Though I did have some awesome bread pudding.

Also cocktails at this place/

I started with a "Cease & Desist" which had Carpano Punt e Mes, Rittenhouse Bonded Rye, Fernet Branca, and Orange Peel. OMG SO GOOD.

Then I had the "William Wisecracker" with Evan Williams Single Barrel, Cynar, Demerara Sugar, Lemon, Maraschino Liqueur, and Mint.

Then, at the bartender's suggestion I had a "Branca Libre" which was a take on the Cuba Libre, with Fernet, the juice of half a lime, demerara sugar, served over cracked ice. Perfect to finish with.

Sooooo sleepy.

We went to Cure after a long ass day at work which included the release party for my non-profit's bimonthly free magazine/newspaper. There was some awesome soul food and the Baby Boyz Brass Band blowing the roof off the place!

So, long day, but awesome in that "work hard, play hard" kind of way.

Thanks everyone, for your birthday wishes!

Spounds wonderful, Nora ! Happy birthday

That sounds like a cool place and a good day, Nora. Many happy returns!

I'm so bummed that I'm not recruiting anymore. I would normally be leaving for N'awlins week after next and I would finally have someone to hang out with.
