    An octopus with nine tentacles would be called a nonapus. (I can hardly imagine an Amber Alert reporting Calvin, Jason Fox, Dennis Mitchell, or even the Family Circus kids.)

    How exactly do you accidentally put out an Amber Alert for Chucky and his son?

    Who is to say, that the bird didn’t stowaway on an airliner?

    Somehow, a Texas Amber Alert for Chuckie and spawn is not surprising in the least. Maybe they should have issued one for Ted Booze when his daughter “kidnapped” him in Cancun.

    The amber alert wasn’t accidental. Someone put it there purposely.

    “ABOUT 7,581” ? Impossible statement as we never know their flight route.

    Texas is fast becoming a sort of mega Florida.

    Take care, may famed buckaroo Lash Rogers McHopalord be with you, and gesundheit.

    The Chucky thing was probably a few fake names and pictures in a test plan. I was testing an application in a test system and decided to call the 1 800 number they had used on the screen, it actually directed me to a call system that wanted my credit card, then some ladies would tell me stories for $3 a minute. Not appropriate anytime. But, testing is testing, I usually use Daffy Duck and Micky Mouse.

    Yes, difficult to believe that the Texas Department of Public Safety could be THAT stupid. They must have tried REALLY hard!

    And then there was Vladimir Volodsky, a short-haired nitwit who got on a train in St. Petersburg and woke up in Yakutsk.,

    Which leads me to complete the old saying: “Don’t mess with Texas – they’re doing a splendid job of messing with themselves”.

    How is it possible to list an accidental amber alert?

    As evidenced in February, the Texas Department of Public Safety, along with Ted Cruz, should have been doing something other.

    The Bar Tailed Godwit vowed never to fly Southwest Airlines again.

    Shizugawa Bay is about 125 miles from Fukushima.

    And not a single observer noticed the bird’s tail feathers were on fire…

    Did anyone notice the octopus had come from Fukishima?…

    Never mind the distance flown; 11 days without a meal or drink? That is the miracle!
