Frying Rat on a Hot Tin Roof: Animal Cruelty Laws Run Amuk

By EliKen on Thursday, April 19th, 2012 | No Comments

Here in the offices of The Curmudgeon, we are animal friendly but we’re not exactly PETA. Oh, we have gone to bat for animals, as witnessed in our post Woman Tapes Dog to Fridge: Which One’s the Bitch?, but sometimes this “political correctness” thing stretches the limits of our activism and even our comprehension. Witness [...]

PETA Wants Amityville House of Meat-Eating Horror

By EliKen on Thursday, April 12th, 2012 | No Comments

Here in the impetuous offices of The Crusty Curmudgeon, we are often shooting off of figurative mouths about the latest PETA absurdity, with this caveat: we are pro-animal rights. I do not want any more forests to be taken for wood, or the rainforest clear-cut so someone can try to grow potatoes, or any species [...]

Town Teaches Kids Graffiti as Art

By EliKen on Wednesday, April 11th, 2012 | No Comments

Here in the well-adorned offices of the Curmudgeon, I would let a staff member paint a mural on the wall, but I hardly think I’d just give everyone some cans of spray paint and graffiti lessons. Yet, that is just what the town of Crawley England is doing. They’ve announced a class for children aged [...]

By EliKen on Tuesday, April 10th, 2012 | No Comments

Here in the dog lovin’ offices of The Curmudgeon, writing about dogs is not uncommon. We’ve written about hero dogs, abused dogs, well, lots of stuff about man’s best friend. So we were tummy-tickled when the following news item came over the wire: In Danvers, Mass, Calvary Episcopal Church will begin offering a mass for [...]

Angry Woman Eats Husband’s Goldfish

By EliKen on Thursday, March 29th, 2012 | 3 Comments

Here in the Curmudgeon Offices, things are going swimmingly. There are also many fish eaters on the staff. I know this because in the company pub the fish and chips, fish sandwiches, fried catfish, and calamari are very popular items. Occasionally, sushi carryout also makes it’s way into the building during the lunch hour. In [...]

Playboy Playmate Tiffany Livingston Detained Trying to Escape From Plane

By EliKen on Tuesday, March 27th, 2012 | No Comments

Here in the offices of The Crusty Curmudgeon, many of us have to endure hours of air travel across the globe as we rush off to cover presidential inaugurations and Kings being sceptered (or whatever the hell they call that when they do this thing and say, “Okay…Now you be da King!”) As far as [...]

Man Tattoos Tot, Penalized to Pokey

By EliKen on Saturday, March 10th, 2012 | No Comments

Here in the sharp-witted offices of The Curmudgeon, we are no strangers to tattoos, having written about them and a few of the employees tattooed like something out of Ray Bradbury’s The Illustrated Man. I personally am not a fan of tattoos (being borderline Aichmophobic), and have likened tattoos on a pretty woman to drawing [...]

By EliKen on Saturday, May 7th, 2011 | 1 Comment

Here in the pet-friendly offices of The Curmudgeon, we are pissed off but not ballistic. This item is hot off the news wire, courtesy of the AP: “BOULDER, Colo. (April 16) – Police say a Colorado woman wrapped her boyfriend’s dog in packing tape and stuck the animal upside down to a refrigerator because he [...]
