University Town Center Not Safe After Dark. 8 Coyotes Shot....

"See we coyotes like to hunt at Walmart , due to the high number of overweight people shopping there. Really easy to catch."

This is one of those times when you have to ask, "What the hell?!?!!"

8 coyotes have been killed near the University Town Center by the USDA. Apparently, the USDA had been signed to a $2,600 contract to eradicate the coyote infestation. 8 have been kill so far since last fall, but 10 more coyotes are suspected to be living in the hills near Walmart.Recently, a pack of 5 have been spotted near Hess Street about a month ago. 

It has not been determined if the coyotes shop at Walmart or if they are Sam's Club members, but it would make sense. Coyotes are mostly scavengers and with the amount of overweight people that shop at Walmart it is an easy and large meal for a pack of Coyotes. Also, there has been a staggering number of shirts with a wolves sold at that particular Walmart. We think there is a correlation. See, coyotes have a serious inferiority complex when it comes wolves, because they get a scarier reputation.

Well the oversized rodent saw his shadow today, but other groundhogs didn't...... So where does that leave us? I'm not exactly sure, but I think the Mayan's used groundhogs to predict the weather and the end of the world. This is a very strange tradition and I am actually curious how it started that modern society worships a varmint....... Let's take a look. P.S. I made one of these up..... So, enjoy guessing which one.

Kevin Ford, owner of MivaMan LLC and the website fastees.com, said the WVU Board of Governor's federal lawsuit against his company for trademark infringement is without merit. He also calls WVU a "big bully."

Ford's company has printed controversial shirts that say, among other things, "West F***** Virginia" and "Let's Go Drink Some Beers," in gold and blue designs.

What The Hell Are SOPA and PIPA? Why the big deal...?

What is all the talk about? Uncle Sam, The Man, Government is trying to take away the internet....... Wait, not really? Is this really true? What is actually happening? 

The House’s Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the Senate’s Protect IP (intellectual property) Act (PIPA). Both are meant to attack the problem of foreign Web sites that sell pirated or counterfeit goods. They would impose restrictions forcing U.S. companies to stop selling online ads to suspected pirates, processing payments for illegal online sales and refusing to list Web sites suspected of piracy in search-engine results.
