Greetings fellow Bizarros:
When I first read this story I pictured the little old lady
from the "Every Which Way But Loose" movies, Ruth Gordon,
when the bikers pull up on her lawn. Except in this case it
isn't bikers but a hungry mountain lion!
An 80-year-old Fairburn, South Dakota woman shot and killed
a mountain lion that was squaring off with her dog in her
yard.
Martha Smith said she first fired at the lion when she came
outside and saw the cat snarling at her Border collie, Bo,
whose barking alerted Smith to the unwelcome guest.
Smith missed with her first shot, which failed to scare off
the intruder, and went inside to phone the authorities. How-
ever, the 911 dispatcher told Smith no one from Game, Fish
& Parks was immediately available to take care of the lion.
Smith said she saw no other option than to take a second shot
at the big cat.
"I knew I'd have to kill him," she said. "You can't have a ]
mountain lion in your yard."
She said she got within 20 or 25 feet of the lion and felled
the cat in a single, second shot.
Bizarrely,
Lewis

------- Theft victim confesses to selling weed --------
ST. PAUL, Minn. - An alleged drug dealer called Apple
Valley, Minn., police to his home after his stash of
marijuana and $3,200 in cash were stolen. Alarmed by a
break-in at his home, the man contacted police on New
Year's Day to report a break in, saying that it was
unclear if anything had been stolen, the St Paul (Minn.)
Pioneer Press reported Monday. One the police showed up
the man conceded that the thief had made off with his
marijuana stash, breaking into a locked closet to complete
the deed. An officer also reported scraps of paper with
names, amounts and weights in another closet. He questioned
the homeowner, who then allegedly said the burglar made
off with baggies of marijuana and $3,200 cash. "He also
implied that his drug dealing was all right, stating, 'I
just sell to my friends,'" said the police report.

--------- Fort Wort fights to stop sagging pants ---------
FORT WORTH, Texas - The Fort Worth, Texas, City Council
was to vote Tuesday on a resolution supporting a campaign
against sagging pants. The "Pull 'Em Up" campaign was
begun by Dallas Councilman Dwaine Caraway and the activist
group Hip Hop Government to get youths to pull up their
own pants, the Fort Worth Star Telegram reported Monday.
An ordinance outlawing saggy pants was originally consider-
ed but was dropped in favor of billboards promoting anti-
sagging messages. City Councilman Frank Moss said he's
concerned that too many young people are being labeled
because of how they dress. "There's stereotyping that all
the kids who walk around with their pants hanging down
are kids that are unruly, bad kids, and they're involved
in crime and other kinds of things," he said. "Many of
these kids are extremely good kids; they just think
they're making a fashion statement."
-------- Clouds said to calm vandals in Britain ----------
BRIGHTON, England - Police in Brighton, England, have
handed out almost $4,000 to an artist to paint clouds
on the walls of a rundown bar in an attempt to keep its
patrons "calm." Sussex police and Brighton and Hove City
Council brought in artist Stig Evans to paint blue skies
and fluffy clouds on the windows of the derelict pub,
which had become a magnet for rude behavior and allegedly
was even used a crack house, The Daily Mail reported
Monday. City officials claim the artwork in Brighton
cheers up vandals by making them think of sunny days
instead of going on a wrecking spree.

-------- Lady beats cyclist for running red light ---------
LONDON - An 84-year-old British baroness used her handbag
to strike a cyclist after he nearly ran her down while
zipping through a red light near Parliament in London.
Lady Sharples said in an address to Parliament she wished
she had hit the cyclist harder, requesting the government
consider forcing cyclists to put registration plates on
their bikes, the Daily Mail reported Monday. "I had a bag
and I swiped him. I did not hit him hard enough," recalled
Sharples as she recounted her story. She added that she
had been endangered by cyclists three times recently on
the capital's streets. "They are a ruddy nuisance," she
added. "I know they need to get to work and a lot of them
behave properly, but an increasing number just don't obey
the lights and it's not fair on pedestrians."

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> READER COMMENTS <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
I actually knew someone who hated the prison food. They
offered college or technical classes to the inmates who
wanted to learn a new trade. He choose being a chef. He
said he didn't like to cook but they brought in all kinds
of gourmet foods for him to cook (as well as the rest of
the class), filled up quickly after that. Lobster/steak
etc in prison. That is going too far! where's the punish-
ment? -Teri
What, only 75 percent of people wash from top to bottom?
How many of the rest wash left to right?
[That depends on whether you're left or right handed.]
hey Lewis! Pekin, Il. is not very user-friendly....it's
against the law to back out of a driveway. My son found
out the hard way when he lived close to a corner-woman
came around the corner fast, on the cell phone, and hit
the very rear of his truck-on the bumper-well my son was
ticketed, but she went scot free! -Dave
[Hmmm...so how are you supposed to get out of the driveway?
Or does everyone in Pekin (except for you) have a circular
driveway?]
Hey Lewis, that nut shot video was weird, all right. The
girlfriend's having fun, though, it's like target practice
for her. Whose idea was it, I wonder, to use his private
area like a bullseye? In a way, it doesn't matter - he
agreed to it, if he didn't come up with the idea himself.
See, that is why people who want to be parents should have
to go through an application process. Like you said, hope-
fully this guy - or this couple, I should say - isn't
breeding. -Louise
[The girlfriend does seem to be having a little more fun
than is warranted in such a situation. And don't worry about
these two breeding. After watching the dumb bastard getting
hit in the nuts a half dozen times with an automatic base-
ball pitcher I doubt he'll be firing live rounds any more.]
