Tiger Tiger. burning bright,
In the forests of the night;
What immortal hand or eye.
Wait… Why is he in Houston?
Jonathan Turley-
A story in Houston has everything you would want in a legal controversy: a murder, a mysterious figure known only as “D”, a missing Bengal tiger named India and even Carole Baskin of Tiger King fame.
That is the situation facing the Fort Bend County Sheriff’s Office after picking up Victor Hugo Cuevas, 26, after a bizarre incident involving a wayward tiger. For Cuevas, there is no good option. To quote that other Victor Hugo “If I speak, I am condemned. If I stay silent, I am damned!”
The controversy first burst into public view after the posting of a bizarre videotape showing India roaming outside of a house:
A man believed to be Cuevas is shown outside the home as an off-duty Waller County deputy, who lives nearby, tells him to Cuevas to take India back inside. After the tiger is brought inside, however, another man in a white jeep appears and took India away. Despite a search for the jeep, he and India disappeared. more
Read about this last week. I cannot believe anyone is either stupid enough or crazy enough to keep a goddamn tiger in a suburban home and then be incompetent enough to let it escape. What an absolute fucktard that owner is. JFC.
Tigers seem pretty cool, but I don’t want one as a pet.
Tiger’s do not belong in captivity, they belong where the Lord put them, in the wild. 🐯
“….most people would ask why the wild animal is being kept by its owner.”
BECAUSE THERE’S NOT A LAND BRIDE TO INDIA FROM HOUSTON.
Lord, spare me from stupid Texans.
^^^ That’s because now there’s a shortage of LAND BRIDES with COVID and travel restrictions, particularly from suspect Russia. I used to get spam emails from big, Russian LAND BRIDE conglomerates advertising hundreds of available BRIDES with guaranteed satisfaction. And with so many to chose from it made it hard to pick one. So, I always asked for mailed catalogs but never got any. Also, they weren’t too keen on ‘try before you buy.’
Wait, did you mean ‘BRIDGE?’ Never mind. (I’m from Texas.)
Yellow Buddhist monkeys
Burning brightly at the zoo
You can bring a bowl of rice
And then a glass of water, too
And Fate is setting up the chessboard
While Death rolls out the dice
Anyone for tennis?
Wouldn’t that be nice?
Oh, shit, that wasn’t about tigers at all. My bad, yo!
Hot, striped pussy has always been a stereotype…..
Mr. Tiger, hear this: there are a lot of stupid liberals in Houston who might want to play “nice kitty” with you and try to rub your belly. That’s your dinner, bub.
I’m dedicating my online presents to glaring typos from now on.
It seems to interest peeple.
I’m not a huge poetry fan, but Blake’s Tyger is a beaut.
I edited it a little and wrote it on a restroom wall.
Toilet, toilet, round and bright;
In the restroom, on the right;
What immortal hand or eye;
Could frame thy smooth bulbositye?
Mr. Burr (I presume), thanks for the cute typo. It gave me a chance to try some silly writing for a change! And now back to my Polish ladies…
Completely off topic, but Poland is the reason I loath England.
You have to read a lot of history but it’s pretty obvious England f*cked the Poles over and then tossed them to the Soviets. No idea why. Brussles, the ostensible reason erry’ body went to wah in the first place has a significantly smaller population.
Blah blah blah…..
Pardon my tangent. Hate the limeys so much… mutter mutter….
Spoiler alert:
Little Black Sambo eventually gets all the tigers to run around a big tree until they dissolve into butter, which he takes home to Mambo and Jumbo, and they all have pancakes for dinner.
^^^ I love online presents, especially at Christmas, where my presence is not required.
