Things of Note

First of all, we here at the Hobo News Network (HNN) are sad to see that one of our favorite stops on the Interweb is going on a brief hiatus. Birdmonster is going on tour, and there was some mention of a banjo trip to Reno (maybe he's going to play banjo at a man, just to watch him cry?), and we know that there will be a lot of sitting around in vans and staring at Roadside Attractions (including The Thing, which (we are told) is a hedgehog named Tim). So visit Birdmonster, dig around in the archives, and marvel at the excellent punctuation and descriptions of croissants.

In other News, a woman in Florida cold cocked an otter. No word on whether she moonlights as a dolphin stabber on the weekends.

And finally, a scientist person has examined his own ear wax, and, after a series of tests and many fancy looking graphs, has found it to be "a greasy mess". We here at HNN heartily endorse this sort of experimentation. In fact, we are all (except Noodle Neck Ned) available for highly unethical and dangerous medical experiments for a nominal charge, a can of Schlitz, and a blanket without too many crabs on it.
