Big Red Hummer Bunny

Wild N Wacky Weekends

Free Easter Bunnies

Have any of you ever bought your little one a bunny for Easter? Well, if you plan to this year, it is suggested that you go to Long Beach City College in California. Seems they are overrun by abandoned Easter bunnies. How many colleges do you know of that has a "Rabbit Population Management Task Force"? Actually it has become quite a serious problem. They are domesticated, and don't know how to fend for themselves. Besides hurting each other in territorial battles, many are suffering from syphilis. The students at the college have to watch their step, as they are constantly tripping over them. In order to help control the problem, last week they spayed or neutered about 80 of them. I think that people just need to stick to chocolate Easter bunnies.

Hummer Carriage?

Given the choice, would you prefer to own a Hummer or a fancy horse Carriage? I guess artist Jeremy Dean couldn't decide either. So, he just bought a used Hummer H2, cut it in half, modified it, added some horses, and now enjoys his Sunday drives around Central Park. (I wish I could post a pic, but I couldn't find one in Public domain.) So, tell me, would you want one?

BIG Red

When you were a kid, did you used to make paper chains out of gum wrappers? Kids nowadays just don't even know what gum chewin is all about. You had to buy the right shape...you know...Juicy Fruit, Big Red, etc. Well, Gary Duschl has been making a continuous paper chain from his gum wrappers since 1965! His paper chain is now 12 miles long. Every night his sets in the den and works on his chain while watching sports. Of course, the den must be devoted pretty much to the chain..as they can't move it much. Currently it weighs 900 pounds. A marathon is 26.2 miles...which is how long Duschl wants his chain to be. He thinks it will take him until he's 70 years old. And no, he doesn't eat chew all that gum. In fact if you could just CLICK HERE, then you can help him out. No, he won't accept chains. He wants his marathon to be a one man show. But, he could sure use an empty wrapper or two...or a thousand or two!

Well, that's your weird and wacky weekend news. You just never know what you're gonna read when you read a Hillbilly Housewife blog!

Lions, Cadavers, and Breastmilk~Oh My!

As I sit here at 3:00 a.m. nursing my two month old son, I was searching for the perfect news stories for my weekend post. I found one that draws my eye...
A woman in Owensboro, KY was arrested for intoxication. I guess that it kind of made her mad, because as she was putting on her prison clothes she squirted breastmilk into the face of a female deputy. The woman now faces charges of felony 3rd degree assault. (I made a mental note not to let my infant son hear this story. I've squirted him in the face numerous times!)

Every year about this time I look forward to my favorite candy...yep, Cadbury Eggs. But, perhaps this sweet treat isn't the thing for you. Perhaps you like a little bacon with your eggs instead. Well, Vosges Chocolate has the perfect candy for your egg and bacon loving palatte. Five bacon caramel filled chocolate half eggs sell for just $22. Yep, you read that right. BACON caramel filled. Other flavored caramels to come in the future. What flavor do you think they should offer?

Mondays are just Mondays. They are destined to be bad days. This past Monday was no exception for a NYC funeral home director. He had pressing business. He had a certain piece of cargo that needed delivered to the airport for a scheduled flight to Miami. Leaving his van unattended, he ran back into the funeral home. He'll think twice about doing that the next time. He came back out to find van, and it's contents gone. The window placard allowing him to park legally had fallen...and a hard working police officer had the van towed...body and all. The police officer hadn't seen the cardboard casket due to the tinted windows. I'll bet he checks closer the next time.

A car thief learned to check closer for unwanted cargo. Last November said thief set his sites on a Mercedes Transporter. The thief was never caught. It is assumed that the cargo...a 5 yr old circus lion...probably roared and scared him. The vehicle was found abandoned~crashed into a street sign and still running. It seems the German police officer also overlooked the precious cargo, and had the Transporter towed. 'Caesar' was discovered hours later, hungry from her adventure but otherwise ok.

I think I'm going to grab a bite to eat. I'm hungry as a lion. Bacon and eggs comes mind...
