Campus Question – September 9, 2017

Tonight’s question, greetings, and banter here. (More)

This week Ohio authorities released a description of a burglary suspect who nibbled on the best-in-show at a baked goods exhibit at the county fair: masked face, soft fur, four legs (a raccoon) and a California man found a naked female burglar asleep in his bed (neither a raccoon nor the setup for a steamy scene in an adult movie). Also, citizens of Pilot Rock, OR want help with their wild turkeys (no raccoons, burglars, or steamy adult scenes mentioned, and no Thanksgiving either) and an Indiana farmer planted an ode to Carrie Fisher (no raccoons, burglars, or Thanksgiving, but she did have a steamy adult scene in The Man With One Red Shoe). And a panicked husband brought his pregnant wife to a New Jersey police station, where two cops helped her deliver a baby girl (with no assistance from raccoons, but perhaps witnessed by burglars and/or Carrie Fisher fans, and the child may have been conceived in a steamy adult scene near Thanksgiving). Do raccoon burglars watch Carrie Fisher movies to set a steamy mood to make baby raccoons?

What an interesting collection of stories! I am wondering why the nervous dad went to a police station and not a hospital. He must have been really panicked. Good that they got competent midwifery and no complications. I wish Oregon good luck with their turkey boom. I wonder if they were just escaping the wildfires. Maybe turkeys are not as dumb as portrayed.

Thanks for this post. It is a most welcome distraction.

I don’t think that would be something raccoons would use, but maybe the panda porn that zoo’s were using to … encourage … their pandas would work.

Fun story, girl with a 3-D printed hand wants to throw out the first pitch at every major league stadium. Lots of the teams have already responded. 🙂

  What a wonderful story, Norbrook! 🙂 Thank you for sharing it!

This week’s parentheticals give a hint to how I usually build a Silly Saturday question. Sometimes it’s easy, because the week’s weird news stories have clear links. And sometimes it’s like this, kinda-sorta linked, if you have a very weird brain….

The stories were fun reads, and a nice break from the Irma news.
