I'm dropping in to wish Happy Birthdays to fangfaceandrea, st_salieri, tinpanalley, manynames (and Lydia!), gamiila, kellyh, patri65, mnbelle, rainkatt, and lilachigh!

Oh, and the bananas? They have been buffaloed. As soon as Mr. M told me this morning, I felt that information needed sharing.

A northbound semi-trailer truck filled with bananas hit a buffalo on Interstate 380 near the Brandon exit at 2:30 a.m. Wednesday, according to KCRG-TV9. Some 25,000 to 35,000 bananas in 40-pound boxes tumbled out onto the road.

What, you thought buffalo no longer roamed here? They do, but only when they wander away from farms. The bananas are going to a legitimate food pantry (are there food pantries that were born out of wedlock?), but the commenters are wondering what's going to be done with the meat. And why "meat" is censored on the newspaper site, but "ass" is not. (I think CM needs to be directed to urbandictionary, because I'm not about to explain it to him in a family paper.) Also, the buffalo may be a bison.

You know that when all I have to offer are tidbits from the local paper, I've been RL busy. I've been getting stomach flu and working so I have little of interest to offer. We're heading off to Florida for a brief family visit this weekend, and I'm trying to make sure work is caught up so I can take the vacation.
