Rabid Fox? Is this from CNN, MSNBC or the New York Times?

I knew a guy and his wife that went to Prehistoric Gardens on the Oregon coast. They were closed, but on a whim, they tried the door. It opened. He said they met a talking fox in there. He also said they were tripping, so....?

I’m guessing the Rabid Fox isn’t the name of their new roller coaster.

That fox broke the cardinal rule.

Never let humans know you can speak.

I was at a nea,health, c,inic 3 years ago waiting g to be called in, and a woman came in covered in bite marks and blood, calm as could be, walked to the window and said ‘I’ve been bitten by a fox’. The health center folks started asking questions and the woman said she was going to a local beach and d ragging behind a cooler when. A fox came running at her and attacked the cooler, then turned its attention to her. She fought with it for a few minutes, then managed along with her husband, to get it by the neck and strangle it to death.

Just then the husband who also tangled with the fox and had bites and scratches when it turned on him before the wife and he finally managed to get it by the neck, came in to the health center and said he had the fox in the car if they wanted to test it.

My appointment all of a sudden didn’t seem so important. Poor folks were In for some horrible treatments, though I understsnd they aren’t as bad as they used to be

It should be.

Every time I walk into a PetSmart, I think about their “adopt a rabid cat” fiasco.

No, they’re not bad at all, now.

There was also a rabid bobcat battle story posted here a few weeks back.

We’re just entering the “dog days”.

I think it knew that they weren’t credible witnesses.

One of the best dialogues from The Dark Tower movie, easily missed.

:)


Roland: Do the animals here still speak?

Jake: What? No, that’s a commercial.

Wait, what do you mean by “still”?
