Pigs and Badgers






So I called and visited with my parents this morning. Apparently they had a badger...







... yes a badger, hanging out by their car. Now for people who live in the city, ya'll probably don't understand the menace that these things are. They dig holes in fields, effing up irrigation and endanger larger livestock. Those holes have been the cause of several broken legs on horses and cattle, in which the animal had to be put down. They're mean and they will attack.





















So anyhoo...






Badger digs a brand new hole out in my mom and dad's driveway. And mom see his hanging out by her new car.... my dad, being the hero, goes and digs out his 44 Magnum, stands out on the front deck of the house, in his striped jammies, cracks his neck like Roger Murtaugh and gets the badger, on the run.






As if this wasn't good enough, he didn't kill it. It is wounded and head back into its hole. My dad is notorious for shooting things in the ass, so I'm sure that where he hit it. Unfortunately, if there's something worse than a badger, its an injured badger, so dad sneaks up to the hole, and waits.... and waits.... and waits.... nothing. So my dad, being the resourceful man that he is, pours diesel down the hole and lights it. So if the damn badger didn't die from a gunshot wound in the ass, he died of smoke inhilation....







Crazy morning....







But this wasn't my first laugh this morning. I get up and pour myself some yummy coffee, using my new Tiramasu creamer (yes! Tiramasu! SHUT UP!) and I check out my window. I notice my neighbors, of whom I swear are Greeks...




are up and awake...




The reason I think they're Greek, obviously you've seen the movie "My Big Fat Greek Wedding"





The dad uses Windex for everything right? My neighbors CONSTANTLY clean their minivan with windex... Whatever right? (my neighbor even LOOKS like him!)







Remember the scene where they're roasting the pig outsite their house when they meet whatsherfaces's soon to be inlaws.... yeah...







Yeah, my neighbors got one of those too...






All in all... an eventful morning.... Now I'm off to decorate cakes...
