IL: Sometimes One “Turkey Testicle Festival” Isn’t Enough

by

EAST DUNDEE, IL — The owner of a suburban Chicago pub that has held an annual Turkey Testicle Festival for 32 years, now has “family friendly” competition from a nearby Illinois community.

J.R. Westberg, who owns the Parkside Pub in Huntley, Illinois, said that his only criticism of East Dundee’s plan for its own event the day before Thanksgiving is the organizers’ lack of originality. They gave it the exact same name and scheduled it for the same date and time.

The Parkside Pub festival often attracts more than 4,000 people to snack on the deep-fried turkey bits, which some attendees consider a “dare food” and prefer doused in ranch dressing or Tabasco sauce.

At Parkside Pub’s Turkey Testicle Festival an order of “Turkey Nuts” is $5.00.

A quick search of the Internet shows that Parkside Pub isn’t the only one hosting a Turkey Testicle Festival though. If Turkey Sweets sound up your alley, you can probably find them close to home.

Five bulls gored four revelers — including two Americans — and injured five others with cuts and bruises as they hurtled through the northern Spanish city of Pamplona.

The Americans were a 34-year-old from Philadelphia identified only by his initials J.N.O., who suffered two gorings, one behind his knee and another near the anus, and a 20-year-old with lesser injuries identified as A.G.O.

Welsh Government Responds To UFO Questions In Klingon

by

When a Welsh Tory Assembly Member (AM) asked the Welsh Government questions about UFO sightings over the Cardiff airport and other parts of Wales, the Welsh government chose to answer in the fictional language of the villainous alien Klingons from the TV series Star Trek.

Tory Assembly Member (AM) Darren Millar, for Clwyd West, addressed three questions to Edwina Hart, the Minister of Economy, Science and Transport, about claimed UFO sightings and the Welsh Government’s response to the reports.

In response to the questions, the Welsh Government replied, “jang vIDa je due luq. ‘ach ghotvam’e’ QI’yaH-devolved qaS.”

The translation of the Klingon language text being, “The minister will reply in due course. However this is a non-devolved matter.”

“It is believed to be the first time the Welsh government has chosen to communicate in Klingon,” the BBC commented.

Surprised at the trivializing response to his inquiry, Millar retorted, “I’ve always suspected that Labour ministers came from another planet. This response confirms it.”

NC: Fatal Shark Attack on Dolphin

by

NC — A dolphin that had been injured in a shark attack washed ashore on a North Carolina beach this week, dying from its injuries in the latest shark-related episode to strike the East Coast.

The incident transpired Friday morning at Kure Beach, according to Fox 8. A witness observed the dolphin as it was attacked by a shark just south of the Kure Beach pier, suffering several bite wounds, including at least one on its tail. The dolphin washed ashore following the shark attack, and beachgoers moved to cover the animal with towels and bring it water in an attempt to care for it. Despite their efforts, the dolphin succumbed to its injuries, dying on the sand.

TX: Naked Woman Attacks Two At Pool

by

AUSTIN, TX — Police say Morgan Areshchenko, 31, arrived nude at her apartment complex pool. One woman already at the pool with her two children allegedly asked Areshchenko to put on some clothes. And that’s when Areshchenko allegedly responded by pushing the woman in the pool, jumping in after her, holding her head under water by her neck, and punching her.

After dunking and punching the one woman, police said Areshchenko threw a 3- to 5-inch-wide stone at an employee who was running away from the scene to hide behind a barbecue pit, hitting her in the shoulder.

Authorities charged Areshchenko with aggravated assault, a second-degree felony.
