Watch this. A seagull in Scotland has developed the habit of stealing chips from a neighborhood shop. It waits until the shopkeeper isn't looking (so a camera was installed) and then walks into the store and grabs a snack-size bag of cheese Doritos. Once outside, the bag gets ripped open and becomes a feast for the sea chicken and other birds. The seagull's shoplifting started early this month, when he first swooped into the store in Aberdeen, Scotland and helped himself to a bag of chips. Since then, he's become a "regular". He always takes the same type of chips. Customers have begun paying for the seagull's stolen bags of chips because they think it's so funny.

I'm in. Norrie is THE BOMB.

So, are you saying this banana peel incident actually happened to you, Chesters? Fess up!

A guy walks into a bar, notices a very large jar on the counter, and sees it's filled to the brim with $10 bills. He guesses there must be a few thousand dollars in it. So, he approaches the bartender and asks, "What's with the jar? "Well, you pay $10 and if you pass three tests, you get all the money and the keys to a brand new car." Interested, the man asks, "What are the three tests?" "Pay first, those are the rules," says the bartender. So the man gives him the $10 and the bartender drops it into the jar. "OK," the bartender says, "Here's what you need to do: First - you have to drink that entire fifth of pepper tequila all at once and you can't make a face while doing it." "Second, there's a pit bull chained-up out back with a sore tooth. You have to remove the tooth with your bare hands." "Third - there's a 90-year old woman upstairs who has never had an orgasm. You've gotta make things right for her." The man is stunned. "No way. You have to be nuts to drink a liter of pepper tequila, and then do those other things..." "Your call," says the bartender, "but your money stays where it is."The man has a few drinks, then a few more, then asks, "Where ez zat tequila?" He lifts the tequila with both hands and downs it. Tears stream down both cheeks, but he doesn't make a face. Next, he staggers out back where the pit bull is chained up and bar patrons hear a loud scuffle outside. The dog barks and whines, the man screams, then silence. The man then staggers back into the bar, with bloodied shirt and scratches on his face. "Now," he says... "Where's the old woman with the sore tooth?"

Beware of banana peels.

Plus, he thought Manual Labor was a Mexican.

Maybe. I was there in May '04 and was a bit surprised at how close the window in the book depository was to the "X" painted on the street. Even I could have made that shot, and I'm nearsighted.

Hmmm. Looks like der pot-mobile from the 1960's.

I caught the biggest largemouth bass of my life using a rubber salamander like that years ago; 22" and 6 lbs. It was cruising the shallows and would not take anything until I tossed that lure out. Great fun.

Why, it's Newt!

At first I was sceptical, but after checking Snopes.com and re-reading the article I think it may have merit. If it's true it may be an incredible discovery. What do you think? STORY HERE

Great photos. I watched a guy hunt with a hawk once, and it was fascinating to see. A co-worker I once knew owned a Harris's hawk that he would bring in to work for the purpose of acclimating it to people and commotion. Apparently they are excellent hunters; they knock their prey down with airspeed then kill with a death grip on the ground.

You don't know the half of it. I've seen some real monsters like that cruising the shallows in my area, but almost no one targets them. The same holds true for catfish. It's a pity too, because they fight like hell.

Q: Why are gay men always ready to leave? A: Their sh*t is always packed.

A good friend of mine chartered a boat last month on Lake St Clair between Michigan and Ontario to fish for muskellunge, a large cousin to pike. I do believe I'm going to do the same next summer, after reading his thread on the outing today. Good Lord, what a beautiful fish. And ferocious. I've never caught a Fish of a Thousand Casts in my life, so it's time I tried. The lures they use to catch the fish are enormous, and expensive, about $30 USD each. This is generally a catch and release fishery, btw.

Many happy returns! Congrats!

Q. What do you get if you cross a Mexican with an octopus? A. An eight-row pickle picker. Q. Why do Mexicans like cars with small steering wheels? A. So they can still drive while handcuffed.

Youtube Video ->Original Video Hmmm. Not sure why it's blank. Well, here is the video, anyhow. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFwKJfil1o4 [i fixed the original link for you. You had too much of the link in the youtube tags. Newt]

Apparently dynamite works well in certain cases: Brings back a few memories. Back in my salad days when I was young and foolish I acquired a gross of "Tijuana TNT", aka M-80 firecrackers. One day while at a small lake known to have a large population of goldfish I taped one to a rock, lit it, and tossed it into the middle. CRACK! No wake or disturbance, but after a minute many large goldfish floated to the surface, belly up. I know, I know, it was wrong. But I too have done silly things in the past.

Interesting story in Friday's USA Today edition about a California trout lake that had pike stocked into it illegally. Pike are pretty efficient predators, as most of you already know, so putting them in Lake Davis is almost guaranteed to wipe out the trout. They're about to poison the lake for the second time - the first attempt didn't work - but only time will tell if they're successful or not. Do they ever do this sort of thing in the UK, to rid a body of water of non-native species? STORY

A businessman is getting on a flight when he hears from the other passenger that the Pope is going to be on the flight. "WOW, great! " he thinks. "What a good place to be today. " He is boarding, but he doesn't see the Pope, so he figures that maybe the other passengers were wrong. He takes his seat and is thankful that there is an empty seat next to him. Just before the flight closes, the Pope enters the plane and sits next to him. I am surely blessed the man thinks. Here I am a good Catholic on a flight with the Pope sitting next to me. The plane takes off, and after a few minutes the passengers take off their seatbelts. The man looks sideways and sees the Pope reaching into his bag to take out a crossword book. Marvelous, he thinks, not only am I blessed with the Pope next to me, but he does crosswords and so do I. Maybe he will ask for help. He notices that the Pope is working his way through the puzzle, while is tapping his pencil in thought. The Pope turns to him and says: "I usually don't talk to others on flights, but I wonder if you can help me? " "Anything your eminence. What is it? " "Do you know a four letter word for 'woman' that ends in u-n-t? " The man feels uncomfortable. He thinks and thinks. Finally he says, "The only word I can think of is aunt. " The Pope turns to him and asks, "Do you have an eraser? "

After the Battle of the Little Bighorn, Mrs. Custer commissioned a painter to paint the last scene, and add what he thought General Custer's last words might have been. The painter presented Mrs. Custer with his work, but she was puzzled. The work included a cow with a halo around its head and several Sioux braves copulating with their squaws. When she asked the painter how this related to her her husbands last words, he replied, "Holy cow, look at all the fcuking Indians!"

You mean the Falcons, Newt. I can assure you he won't be on my Fantasy Football team this year (my team's name is Amish Porn Stars. ) I guess all the money he's made hasn't made him an Einstein, has it? Hard to believe he executed those dogs like he did. PETA is having a field day over this. What a bonehead.

A man walks into his bedroom and sees his wife packing a suitcase. He asks, "What are you doing?" She answers, "I'm moving to Las Vegas. I heard prostitutes there get paid $400 for doing what I do for you for free." Later that night, on her way out, the wife walks into the bedroom and sees her husband packing his suitcase. When she asks him where he's going, he replies, "I'm coming too; I want to see how you live on $800 a year."

I think I posted this link to the fish cam located in the St Mary's river a few years back; it's located in front of the power plant just downstream from the Soo Locks and Lk Superior. Lots of Atlantic salmon now, and the King salmon should be there soon. I've heard that if you watch long enough you may see lures hanging from fish. Native Americans are allowed to snag, apparently, but I wouldn't doubt if others were doing it, too. Maybe it's just a rumor.
