Swedish flamingoes massacred in frenzied anteater attack
The Local (Sweden) ^ | April 5, 2011

A flock of ten flamingoes have met a brutal end at a zoo in Eskilstuna in eastern Sweden after a curious anteater broke into their compound and clawed them to death, leaving a further five birds nursing injuries.

If we use up some frozen meat and vegetables, we can store the remaining exterior items inside while the outside freezer thaws.

I’d thought up a version of Jonah and the Whale set in the world of Karsh Kentu that I’d wanted to share with him.
Long story short, the Jonah equivalent tells the Eternal “I’m not going to Nannuvir. I have to go talk to my aunt in Tar-zih!”
The Eternal tells him, “I have an idea, let’s go fishing and we’ll talk about it.”
Out in the boat the Jonah equivalent says, “Uh.. where’s the bait?”
The Eternal grins and bumps him overboard with His elbow.
To which the Jonah equivalent hears, “Oh look, they’re biting!” just as the big fish swallows him.
Fast forward: he gets spit from the fish near Nannuvir at the feet of a waiting Eternal.
“I fear that we lost your luggage in transit, but you might find a place to book travel plans over there. Oh, by the way, you have some seaweed behind your ear.”

Get a musical accompaniment. I’ll give it all a go when I get back from the laundromat.

Yup, that was me e-mailing you.
Sionnsar got sick, collapsed, went unconscious, and never regained consciousness.
There’s a thread about it, I’ll dig up the link.

Thank you, Darks. This is a shock to me, I remember meeting Sionssar a year or so ago with NNB, Glad I got to meet him.

How are you? You’ll have seen that Sionnsar has passed away. We’re all very sad, but keeping chipper in public because that’s what we do when we’re not crying.

My washer broke. I’m making trips to the laundromat, which is actually pretty nice. The new washer will come on Thursday.

...at which point The Eternal picks up two dead codfish and hands one to the Jonah equivalent.
The Jonah equivalent asks, “What’s this for?”
The Eternal smacks him with his fish and says, “That. You’ll need it in Nannuvir.”

My PO box works just fine. I’m only here for a couple more weeks but I go home about every four days to get the mail.

Either that or my sister can get it for me. This is just a temp job. She can’t be left alone, even though she “functions” so I’m here until she leaves. Her son here works 14 hour days, and that’s just too long to leave her.

Not only that, but when the A/C goes on, I don’t smell cigarette smoke!!! YAY!

I guess the choice of tool also depends on what type of freezer you’ve got. Mine’s an upright, so I use a plastic paint scraper. If you’re working on a horizontal, chest-type freezer, the metal spatula might not be that bad a choice.

Sometimes it’s best to avoid sharp implements and open flame.
