zoo pelican swallows cell phone (link)
08.06.09 - KIDK (CBS idaho falls) - by jennifer mcgraw

how may times has this happened to you? you're at the zoo, hanging out round the pelican tank hittin' up your bros/gal posse on the celly, trying to make plans to hit up the club & next thing you know, the pelicans have your phone & they're tossing it around like a pigskin. you're all "hey stupid pelicans, give me back my razr" & they're all "give it to squawky, he'll eat anything" & they do & that friggin pelican downs your phone all gluttonlike.

it can happen & as KIDK (the cbs affiliate outside of idaho falls) reports, it happened at idaho falls' tautphaus park zoo (please note the spelling, folks at KIDK. after all, it's your zoo). ooh! the tautphaus has asian bears on display! the bears are back, bitches! look how excited those bears are to be in idaho! as for the pelicans, squawky downed the phone, but luckily, he regurgitated it soon after. as of press time, nobody had stepped forward to claim the phone. um, idaho police, can't you just start dialing people & asking those who pick up if they know somebody dumb enough to lose their phone to a pelican? you'll figure out whose phone it is eventually.

nosh nook tip...you, the reader, don't actually have to read the story, because it's essentially a transcript of the video clip (below), sans witty comment at the end by KIDK newscaster/funnyman todd kunz..."that's uh. hard to swallow." good one, todd! according to the KIDK site, "todd and his wife met on a 'partially' blind date. have him explain that one sometime." luckily, he also "loves to hear from viewers, so feel free to email (him) at toddk@kidk.com." let me know what you hear about that blind date.
