I know, I couldn`t believe it either! A rest home? Did they run out of young interns at Carolina?

Come to find out that `Bill Clinton` is/was an Emu, that funny looking ostrich-type animal. He was the second emu for this particular owner, whose first emu was named `Janet Reno`. Emu or not, she was still a hell of a lot better Attorney General than Alberto Gonzales...

Anyway, Bill Clinton, the emu, wandered around for awhile (just like the real Bill) and was tasered by some bonehead police officers.

The story is here: (warning - much more lax language standards than SuN)

Please join me in my new venture:


I wonder if the emu came out medium-rare?

Nah, next it`ll be Remus uncles.

I just hope they go after that federal agency involved with Hurricane Katrina - FEMUS.

Nah, too many people have a bone to pick with them.....or wait...is that the FEMUR (I get the gov`t. agencies confused)? Either way, they`ll probably go after all the Lemurs next.

I think it`s important to be specific about the cruelty. Accidental cruelty is one thing, but the INTENTIONAL cruelty is what I`d be most opposed to. That would make the organization the Society for the Prevention of Intentional Cruelty to Emus (SPICE). Count me in.

It`s just hard to imagine that some stupid macho policemen would feel the need to taser a cute little red furry muppet.

I agree - except that Carrboro (where I am right now - actually Chapel Hill) is, in fact, crawling with stupid macho policemen.

For the record, emus are 125 lbs, 6 feet tall, and have claws like dinosaurs (seriously). But even given that, why kill an emu?

By the way, Denise, I like your idea about SPICE.

Wanna be Sassy Spice? Cute Spice?

Craig, you can be Old Spice if you`d like.

I`m already using Emu Oil.......... It`s amazing what`cha gotta go through, though, to press enough emus to get oil. And I don`t EVEN want to get into the Extra Virgin emu oil..! You`ve heard of "chicken sexers?" Well, you can imagine the logistics....! A nightmare, I tell ya....an absolute nightmare!

Well, I overestimated my ability to pass off my understated witticism, even to the highly intellectual citizens of the `Nation. My reference to a cute little red furry muppet was a lame attempt to play on the name "Elmo" as a humorous confusion with "Emu".

Sassy Spice? I suppose that`d work for me. I was thinking, maybe I could be Sagacious Spice (a reasoning seasoning). Jeff, I could imagine you being Feisty Spice.

I believe the traditional spelling for a humorous confusion of Elmo is "Eh`moh." That`s probably where the confusion came. Not to worry though, as there`s also a difficult reference to the Spanish version of the Three Stooges: El Larry, El Curly, and El Moe.
