Jurors in Sandwich Thrower Case Found Charges ‘Bunch of Baloney’

—Bloomberg

I have only one thing to add, whoever wrote this hed should never have to buy themselves another drink.

A Canadian Crime Against Humanity

The business at (part of) hand, exploring a centuries old German sport in which two men attempt to pull each other across a table using only one finger each. It's not hard to get started, just consult the index.

As It Happens, the Monday edition, radio that guesses that everyone wins by single digits.

—Chris Howden, presenter for the CBC program As It Happens, describing the German sport of "Fingerhakeln".

This was so bad that I had to pull over to recover after hearing it on the radio.

Me. Howden is clearly an invertebrate punster.  Someone please slug him.

It's His Day.

I am referring, of course to Flaco, the Eurasian Eagle-Owl. (Pictured right)

This magnificent representative of the genus Bubo, escaped from his habitat at the Central Park Zoo after vandals cut a hole in the mesh wall.

Finding, and watching the owl as he goes on walkabout has become a major obsession of bird watchers in and around Central Park.

The zookeepers are just trying to get him back.

Today, Sunday, February 12 is his day.

Why is today his day?

Haven't you ever heard of Superb Owl Sunday?

If I were more clever, I would have come up with this joke. (I wish)

H/t Naked Capitalism.

My Apologies for Missing a Pun

Yesterday, I posted an article titled, "They've Got Tapes. They've Always Got Tapes".

I should have titled it something like, "Rudy Impaled by Vlad Tapes,"^*, since it involved an attempt to extort action by Ukrainian President  Volodymyr Zelensky.

^*Oh for F%$#'s sake, it's a play on the name of the Romanian Prince Vlad Țepeș, AKA Vlad the Impaler, AKA Vlad Drakul, the source of the Dracula story. Do I have to explain EVERYTHING?

Your Moment of Dad Humor

I found it on Facebook. I blame the Russians.
