WHEN EWE GOTTA GO, YOU GOTTA GO.

When you gotta go, you gotta go!

DOG DISQUALIFIED FOR SPENDING A PENNY. Five-year-old Libby was midway through a course that involved running through tunnels and up and down see-saws when nature called at the wrong place at the wrong time.
The black dog was putting on a show-stopping performance at the Crufts Dog Show at the Birmingham NEC Arena speedily negotiating the course before she paused for the call of nature and was then immediately disqualified. - Gaby Leslie, Yahoo News (12/03/2012) Even worse, the whole episode was caught on video.

Cute picture alert!!!!!!!!

THAT'S ONE BRAVE MOUSE. A cat owner in Surrey was shocked to discover her pet being confronted by a gutsy little mouse in her back garden. - Fred Attewill, The Metro (14/03/2012)

Would ewe believe it?

OPEN 'EWE'NIVERSITY? Burnt out business professionals are flocking to a course that teaches them how to be sheep dogs to relieve office stress.
The 'Raising the Baa' course can cost up to £2,000 and helps high-flying professionals bond with one another and develop their teamwork skills.

'This event helps groups of people, who work together on a paid or voluntary basis, to improve communication skills, increase confidence, enhance leadership qualities, be an inspiration to others - and have heaps of fun in the process,' Mr Farnsworth who runs the course explained. - The Metro (15/03/2012)



Did I really need to know this?



SEX-STARVED FRUIT FLIES TURN TO DRINK. Male fruit flies who have been rejected by females drink significantly more alcohol* than those who have mated freely, scientists say.
In an article in Science, researchers suggest that alcohol stimulates the flies' brains as a "reward" in a similar way to sexual conquest. - BBC News (15/03/2012) * Is it just me or are you know imagining alcoholic flies drinking from bottles of cider?

And finally, after the popular Tree-Rex featured in last weeks Media Monday post, I bring you two more 'spotted' images .....






ET(REE) SPOTTED IN TREE TRUNK.  - Story by Mark Molloy, Top photograph by James Douglas/SWNS.Com, The Metro (13/03/2012)




VISION OF JESUS FOUND ON WALL.  Yorkshire decorator, Sam Dalby, spotted this vision of of Jesus Christ whilst eating his sandwiches. - Rob Leigh, The Mirror (15/03/2012)





PS. As always I will endeavour to bring you the links (marked in bold capitals) to articles I have used in my Media Monday posts but this is not always possible.

I wonder what was in that decorator's sandwiches.

The real life Tom & Jerry show was wonderful. As for the flies who were rejected by females finding solace in booz , well, man gets inebriated and smack the female. Ironical contrasts.

Ewe are too funny! Great, odd stories today.

Aww, poor puppy. I'd like to see the judges hold it THAT long.... *-* The cat and mouse picture reminds me of my Mom's German Shepherd....who friended a neighborhood stray kitty. Too cute in both cases.

I love seeing those 'spotted' pictures, although it doesn't surprise me that it was during a decorator's lunch break that he spotted that vision on the wall!

Golden Eagle said...

I wonder if the cat was surprised . . . LOL.

Poor dog!

The mouse says, "Sorry, mate, didn´t mean to kill yah, just give yah a scare."

Kelly said...

Wow, the cat/mouse photo is something else! I would love to see the before and after moments of that shot! I wonder if the cat felt humiliated that the mouse got the best of him? Ha!

Poor pup. When you gotta go, you gottoa go!!

I used to do dog agility. Yep, that is why you potty them before going out on the course. :)

Cute kitty pic!

Melissa (My World...in words and pages) said...

The Mouse and cat look like they are friends! Like my dogs and cat. :) And that is so neat with the tree and ET! Thanks!
