Happy Hump Day!

In honor of the three day weekend being "thisclose" to us, I'm going to post some mindless entertainment I came across on stltoday.com. So sit back, take a break, and check out these articles for some Hump Day relaxation...

1. I've seen this kind of stuff on Soulard Streets during Mardi Gras (not that that makes it RIGHT, by any means), but INSIDE a bar?? You think there was a cover charge at this establishment??...

2. Four ears make cat an Internet star. After being a a source of amusement for drunks in a bar, a nice couple adopted the cat. The veterinarian gave the cat a "clean bill of health", and said he had "normal hearing". All I can say is, if I had four ears, I'd expect to have better than "normal" hearing!






3. This guy's cat may be a vampire. Mine may be a dog, considering she walks around proudly with her tongue wagging and plays "fetch" with bouncy balls. (She really does, and it's absolutely hysterical to watch.) It's just a well-written little story that any cat lover will appreciate - musing how cats can be so smart and graceful, and yet clumsy and not so bright, at the same time.

4. I wish they had a picture of this. Friends, Lambert's may have to be put on hold in exchange for a weekend afternoon jaunt to Stan's Wagon Wheel in Sikeston, MO. Any of you out there daring enough to accept this challenge???

5. Great picture of Tony LaRussa stepping in between Yadier Molina and the home plate ump after Yadi was tossed from a game against the Milwaukee Brewers. (This picture is from the May 12, 2008 game, but a good one, nonetheless.) The Brew Crew is back in town as of last night for a two game stand against the Cards. Last night's matchup was NOT one to watch, as we got spanked 12-0. We now trail the Wild-Card spot leading Brewers by 4 1/2 games. This means we are also now tied with the METS in the Wild Card race. Brian Barton has also been placed on the 15 day DL for an aggravated right oblique strain. Hopefully the Cards can pull SOMETHING out of their asses tonight...

Hope these articles brightened your day, or at least put a smile on your face. Happy Hump Day, everyone!
