I learned it as "Death by Unga Bunga" when I was young.

Coincidentally, I stumbled across a Norwegian garage band of that same name.  Not sure what the admission fee is like!!   :shake:

TSA finds knife hidden in a tube of toothpaste.  :rofl:

Again, I just stated I'm not the brightest bulb in the room in another thread today but I gotta ask:  Why were they allowed to continue on their flight after discovery of the son KNOWINGLY trying to hide a knife to bring aboard an airplane?

From NBC news....

The park is closed for the third day.  Closed to parents and children who want to enjoy the park and see the animals.

Denied a fun day together because of the actions of a dumbass.  Rest in Peace, stupid person.

my apologies
initial reports i read the other day were speculation
sounds like they were wrong...

A man has died and now, animal experts are saying the Tiger, although initially determined would not be euthanized, would probably be after all.  Due to the future safety of its handlers since the Tiger no longer sees humans as a dominant species, but more as prey.
