#1 Ever hear the phrase "whip his own weight in Bobcats"? Some tough little critters, even when not rabies-maddened.

#2 State officials did not identify the victim due to privacy laws

Just look for someone who looks like they've been fighting a fur-covered rabid chainsaw.

#3 I sure hope they've improved the treatment for rabies in the past years - that old 17 shots in the abdomen thing was darn near as bad as the desease....

#5 Its not that bad, beats the alternative. Just had the full course of shots due to bat exposure fall '08. Basically it was a series of 3-5 shots in the deltoid muscle over approximately a month-long time frame. Wasn't any worse than a flu vaccine, just a little soreness at the injection site. Also, once done, the shots are good forever according to my doctor. The worse thing is the cost,which is upwards of 3 grand IRRC, if not administered by health dept or covered by individual's insurance.

#7 Worse. Live near an abandoned cement mine shaft 1/4 mile away. Bat central according to health dept. Woke up from a nap and a bat was in the room with me, still do not know how it got in but it was creeping on the floor in an odd manner, and I had a red mark on me. Boxed it up in a shoe box and called health dept. The health department phoned it in to local hospital to send over the shots and I had to go to ER for the full course.

#8 Girl Thursday,
I just hope you don't get the urge to fly on nights of the full moon. :-)

#14 The identity of the man who stangled a rapid, crazed bobcat can be summarized as the man everyone addresses as:

Yes, sir.

No, sir., or

What do you think, sir? or

I agree with you, sir, or

I respectfully disagree, sir, and I just remember I have a pressing appointment somewhere else, right now!

#17 Arizone? Wasn't that where what's his name came from? Yeah, the airport guy, Bruce
McClain. It'd be a different world if he was president!

#18 sounds like the old joke about the guy that won a million dollar bet if he would pull the teeth from a grizzly bear and screw the town's old maid.

came back in all beat to sh!t and asked where the lady was that needed her teeth pulled.....
