In my area, we only see Tsingtao beer on the shelves, which may be because Anheuser-Busch owned as much as 27% of the company until 2009. I actually like the stuff, even though that leaked video of someone urinating into one of their vats kinda soured me on it a bit. That story might've made for a "Weird news tonight" post on its own. 🤯😎 .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife and I started laying in Pop Tarts as a pre-tropical storm ritual a long time ago. However I have dropped 25 pounds since June 1st and wasn't going to give any of that back. Nevertheless I have to say I lingered at the Pop Tart display on the Walmart end cap when I was shopping on Saturday.

Kevin Bresnahan Posted August 5 Report Share Posted August 5 I'd post about the dead bear cub in Central Park as a "weird news story" but since it's about a political figure, I'll pass. But boy, is that a weird story!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted August 5 Report Share Posted August 5 Definitely a weird story. . . made no weirder by Roseanne being the story recipient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted August 6 Author Report Share Posted August 6 I like that he was going to eat the bear but then he got so distracted by stuff that I guess he forgot to do that and by then it was no good to eat. You can't do that with fish unless you drink or something. Roadkill!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stompin at the Savoy Posted August 6 Report Share Posted August 6 I have a different take on the bear thing. The cub was killed by a car. So now its mother is probably looking around for it and some asshole removes the corpse from the area. OK he says he wants to eat it and then screws up by leaving the corpse in a car for hours while he goes falconing or some damn thing. And eventually he arranges some kind of jokey tableau with the corpse and a bicycle. A cub was (in my view) tragically killed and the dude accorded it no dignity, viewed it as a plaything and gave no thought to the cub's mother.

JSngry Posted August 6 Author Report Share Posted August 6 My mother-in-law used to tell the story about my father-in-law (back in the days when he drank) and "the men" planning on roasting a pig overnight, but they all got drunk and passed out, so that when "the women" came out to see about them the next day, the fire had long gone out and the pig had "gone sour". One needs to maintain focus when dealing with raw meat, be it bear or be it pig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rostasi Posted Friday at 10:00 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 10:00 PM (edited) Only a guess, but I'd think it's a combination of things: being a colder climate, recent health trends, diverse ethnic makeup, and higher taxes with more government regulations.
