Just remember, it is best not to fuck with a hippo. Even if you are a trained professional:
Hippos are incredibly cute and fun to watch. But they also seem pretty cranky and have a general aura of bad-ass-ness. This story actually reminds me of the South Park episode about the Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin. In that ep, Irwin kept poking animals in the ass, then being attacked. Sticking one’s hand in a hippo’s mouth? Almost as bad.
Anytime that my original hometown Trinidad, CO is in the news, I cringe. There is never any good news from the area picked up in press from the bigger cities here in Colorado. Never, ever. Trinidad only hits the radar when something really bad, or really stupid, happens.
This time around? Turns out it was both, of course. Apparently, a teenage boy was shot in the head while playing Russian roulette. No, seriously! The boy’s brother and mother had been toking on some weed in their car. Their mom noticed that they had a gun, and told them something along the lines of, “have fun, you two, just take all the bullets out of the gun before someone gets shot in the head.” The siblings decided it would be more fun to leave one bullet in the gun and play a little Russian roulette. The results were, at least, not tragic.
Now the best part of all of this? The family called the police and said that a masked man was the actual trigger person. Apparently they thought that the Lone Ranger didn’t like the boy’s skateboarding skills. Or something.
I tell you, there’s a reason that I don’t do pot!
Wow! Starbucks is going to change the way they make coffee? And the way that their stores are set up? That is actually very cool. Though it won’t change my main beef about Starbucks: they make it far too easy for me to spend too much money there.
