Thoughts Over Catnip

Hello People. Happy Friday. I would actually mean that if it were still snowing! I would like someone to track down this Mother Nature and punish her. Bitch needs to pay! Anyway, I've been wondering, if the delicious Greek sandwich Gyro is actually pronounced year-o, why is the country not pronounced yeese? Anyone know? Ukrainian singer Kristina Karo has filed a lawsuit against actress Mila Kunis (Mrs. Ashton Kutcher). Karo claims that, 25 years ago, she and Kunis were 1st grade friends and that Mila was so jealous over Karo's pet chicken, named doggie, that she stole it! Karo, to this day, is devastated! That's why she is suing Kunis for $5000. Also, she has a new music video coming out and no one has ever heard of her. Personally, I'm a big fan of chicken, but $5000 seems a bit excessive. Karo says she needs that amount to pay for therapy sessions she needs to cope with the loss of her beloved poultry. One would think the statute of limitations on chicken thieving would have run out after 25 years. Also, there's that whole 'it happened in another country' thing. Lucky for Karo, she now lives in Los Angeles, where anything goes! I shouldn't single out California. A New York Supreme Court judge has agreed to hear a case that would give chimpanzees human rights. Yup! She issued a writ of habeas corpus which legally recognizes the chimps as people. The case surrounds two chimps being held for research at Stony Brook University. The chimps, or at least their advocates, are arguing that is "unlawful imprisonment". Your tax dollars in action! Tonight on TV is the big ABC Bruce Jenner exclusive. Most people believe that Jenner will unveil that he is transitioning into a woman. I think, if this is true, the important take-away will be that the question of 'how far will someone go to get away from Kris Kardashian' will finally be answered! Hey, do you eat a lot of shrimp? Consumer Reports examined 342 samples of frozen shrimp, from food retailers in 27 cities, and guess what! 60% of the shrimp tested was contaminated with bacteria! Most of the shrimp sold in the US comes from Thailand, Vietnam, China, Bangladesh and India. The shrimp was contaminated with Listeria, E. Coli and salmonella. 2% carried MRSA (that's the drug resistant super bug). Still hungry? 83% of the raw shrimp from Bangladesh was tainted; 74% from India. I don't like those odds but hey, you never know! If you are going to roll the dice, make sure you know where the shrimp came from and be sure to cook it thoroughly. With that, Enjoy the Weekend!
