Greta, you asked for it and you shall receive.

Some times some humor is needed in order to lighten the news that we follow on a day to day basis to keep us all sane. Our very own Klaasend managed to get the attention of Greta Van Susteren and company the other night on Greta Live Wire.

HERE is the original video that created all the buzz and below.

Wisconsin Wife Says No Beer, Husband Retaliates By Shooting Pet Goats
Wednesday, November 21, 2007

 WAUPACA, Wis —

A man who was upset with his wife for not buying beer took vengeance by shooting one of the family's two pet goats, prosecutors say.

Peter W. Mischler, 48, was charged this week in Circuit Court with mistreatment of animals, possession of a firearm while intoxicated and disorderly conduct with a dangerous weapon.

The complaint said Mischler came home Saturday from hunting and became angry with his 22-year-old daughter for letting the goats out and making a mess. While she was talking on the phone to her mother, authorities said, he told her to tell his wife to bring home some beer, but his wife refused.

He then threatened to shoot the goats, according to the complaint.

After his wife arrived home, she and the daughter heard four gunshots and went outside and found one of the two goats with its entrails hanging out, authorities said. They said that goat had to be killed later by a sheriff's deputy.

Mischler posted a $1,000 cash bond set by Circuit Judge Raymond Huber and was released.

A hearing was scheduled for Dec. 4.

Would everyone please take one sec and see my post on the Justin Gaines thread in the Missing Persons Forum?

Klaas, would you correct my spelling?    Also make sure it was okay to post what I did, please.

Thanks!

Guess there was more than one reason why the wife didn't bring home the beer for this creep....

I loved this show ... they don't make them like WKRP anymore.

WKRP would not pass the PC police today. What a great cast and funny as can be. The "Turkey Drop" episode was just about one of the funniest things I have ever seen on TV. Les Nessman making references to the Hindenburg ... OMG a classic.

Klaas:

Anyway, yesterday was my birthday.  I bought myself something special...

A yellow diamond ring.  It's georgeous.  It's a 1.5ct solitaire, emerald  radiance

cut with 1ct of diamonds which include two rather large trillion (tri-angular cut)

diamonds on each side.

Even when I was married, I always got myself something special for my B.D. and

jewelry is my only weakness.

Do you like jewelry?

Meet Lil'Bit - the cat with two faces
Last updated at 11:49am on 21st November 2007
 
 

Everybody knows that cats have nine lives. But one very special and much loved cat has been born with TWO faces - and very possibly, two brains.

The owner of the tomcat called Lil'Bit - as in 'A little bit of love' - nearly dropped the kitten in shock when its extra features were revealed.

But the 47-year old woman owner from Arizona, USA, was determined that the odd arrival, although ill, should not be put to sleep and she pledged to become Lil'Bit's carer.


Lil'Bit was born with four eyes, but two merged into eachother

Now, seven months later, after feeding the mog from a pipette on baby milk and eventually more solid food, he is apparently thriving and seems likely to live to a grand old age.

Lil'Bit had four eyes when he was born, although the two middle eyes are on the point of merging, two mouths, two noses, but just two ears. And vets believe the cat may actually have two brains as one face can go to sleep while the other remains awake. If Lil'Bit gets a cold, the nose on only one of her faces will run.

Lil'Bit was one of five kittens born in a litter from his mum, Lil'Pine, seven months ago. His two brothers and two sisters only had the regulation one face.



Vets believe Lil'Bit may actually have two brains as one face can go to sleep while the other remains awake

The cat's owner, who wishes to remain anonymous as she believes unwanted callers to her home to see the cat may leave Lil'Bit stressed and ill, told how she discovered the puss with two faces.

She said yesterday: 'The kittens were born underneath my computer table. When I picked Lil'Bit up I suddenly spotted that he had two faces. I was so shocked that I nearly dropped him.

'I called a kitten rescue service and they told me not to expect him to survive. But I didn't see why he shouldn't be given the chance to live. Everything is possible.

'I got him a heating pad and started feeding him every 15 minutes from an eye-dropper. I fed him like that for two or three months before starting him on proper cat food.

'He finds it hard to walk normally so there was a litter problem because he couldn't do it himself. So I hit on the idea of using premature baby diapers on him. It seems to work well.

'The amazing thing to watch is that one of Lil'Bit's faces can be asleep while the other one is awake. I have also seen him sneeze out of one side and not the other and blink on one side of his face but not the other.

'And when he purrs it is like he is purring in stereo.

'We haven't had any X-rays done or operations under anaesthesia because I think that could upset Lil'Bit. But the vet seems to think there is a good chance there are two brains operating here. It seems logical as she breathes out of both mouths and noses.

The mother of two boys added: 'The whole family loves Lil'Bit.
