| #26 Channeling the comment on the Three Gorges Dam ecological disaster story: "Now you tell us," Sea. Like Angie said, that explains a LOT, I always thought that picture was being posted by the person of that comment. Now I know they're being sinktrapped. |

| #25 To clarify, the "Too Stupid" picture is automatically plopped in when a mod hits the Troll button. FYI. |

| #21 See, now I didn't realize that the mods were the ones posting the "too stupid" picture. I thought it was the guy with his name at the bottom. This explains some things. Now all is clear. |

| #19 Not that raccoons have fleas or that fleas carry disease and usually will attached themselves to something/someone else for fresh blood. Or that the painting crew had the proper items to pick the kill up themselves without throwing the dice on that issue. It's dead Jim. Then, just call that guy, he will take care of the remains. |

| #18 Btw, I went to the sinktrap to get the juicy bits, and I don't find A9's comment particularly inflammatory, unless I'm missing something, a southerners dissing yankees & city folks. |

| #17 "I am in charge of painting stripes. The dead raccoon is an animal control issue. It's not my job to pick it up, or to call them, either." This picture has been in my stash for a very long (internet) time, with the mention "winner of the not-my-job award". |

| #16 Having dealt with local useless bureaucrats over a simple issue of a broken trash can, supplied by the city, I know what the moron who did this would say if asked.. "I am in charge of painting stripes. The dead raccoon is an animal control issue. It's not my job to pick it up, or to call them, either." |

| #15 Oh. Folks are pissed because they're lazy. State workers lazy? That's shocking... I originally thought people were pissed because of the defacement of the corpse of one of Gaia's woodland creatures... |

| #12 Angleton9: If you follow the link and view the video, you can see clearly that the animal is indeed a racoon. Now pay attention: the picture ed posted (the one showing the possum) is one that has been floating around the internet for years, and is NOT related to this particular article. "Cherryboy" yourself, dipwit. |

| #11 It's funny, for Pete's sake. The only problem is it's not very flat yet. |

| #9 The lines on the road by my house appear to have been painted by Mrs. Green's kindergarten class. |

| #8 The event occurred about three miles from my home. I've driven that stretch of Archer Avenue. It's more like a semi-rural road at that point, and no doubt critters try and fail to cross the road. And as a resident of Illinois, I can testify that no way in hell would the IDOT people striping the road slow down, let alone stop. |

| #7 If others didn't live in the city, your uncrowded southern countryside wouldn't be so any more, Angleton9 dear. |
