Brits and Belgium - Pigeon Racers on Dope
The Wall Street Journal reports that there is a growing scandal in
pigeon racing in Belgium and Britain. Evidently the drug of choice is (are?) steroids. My favorite paragraph is the following: "An incident involving one of Mr. Brammer's birds fanned the doping rumors when the pigeon in question went missing during a race between France and England in May, only to turn up in Canada two months later. A racing pigeon's maximum range is usually around 500 miles, but this bird traveled more than 3,000 miles over the Atlantic Ocean." No doubt WADA to intervene shortly - as soon as they get a supply of little needles and little, tiny plastic bags for the drug testing. So if BL tires of the bicycling crusade, he has a whole 'nother flock of birds to go after. Wonder what would happen if African Swallows started taking dope... Curtis L.

Listen, my bi-polar neighbor has been working on rebuilding his front porch for the past thee years (not enough manic periods to aid completion) He's now got pigeons nesting and ****ting all over the neighborhood. Another neighbor has threatened to go hunting. I realize these aren't racing pigeons. However, I will never have an interest in them, no matter how much dope they take. |

Hunting pigeons on steroids has to be more interesting than hunting the regular kind. Steroids, pigeons and shotguns sounds like a fun mix to have next door. Throw in a squirrel or two and I'll buy the video. Get the squirrels on steroids and I'll buy two. This Web of Being is a scarier place than some people will admit. Curtis L.

I've got your squirrel on roids. He's ragin'. http://cornerstone.tamu.edu/funnies/...ndSquirrel.mpg Bill C That's funny, but I admit I'll probably be a bit slower stealing any nuts from the squirrels now. The deer was a wuss, though. Curtis L. Russell Odenton, MD (USA) Just someone on two wheels... |
