This is the oddest little story you’ll read today, from the detail of the witness’s choice of beverage to alleged and supposed nature of the crime itself. Very weird.

So weird!

I’m glad you brought this up. I read it in the paper this morning and thought what the heck kind of story is this? And of all the news the DMN chooses not to include (or prints long after it is really news anymore) why did they pick this story, that may not be a story after all? And what kind of beer was he drinking?

Oh, it was Miller High Life. Now it is a complete story.

You got to hand it to the DMN, they seem to have a handle on it. On the other hand, the startlegram mentioned nothing of this. Somthing strange is afoot.

DMN is chasing the story as they think there may be some sales tax not being paid on the hand exhibit.

What? No comments about dallasnews.com’s redesign?
PS – 95 degrees and swilling beer at the Old Monk. Good times.

It gets even odder, in an update this afternoon:
The icy objects shaped like human hands that a Fort Worth man found in his apartment freezer Friday aren’t hands after all. But what the frozen items turned out to be may be even stranger.
“It’s animal testicles,” said Roger Metcalf, an official at the Tarrant County medical examiner’s office. “It’s definitely not hands.”
Miller High Life has moved into a strange buzz marketing realm

I heard from a usually reliable source that early lab reports indicate those were the testicles of Cuecats and Belo’s Research, Development & Diversity Department was contemplating packaging them for sale as finger food.

Miller High Life and fired testicles would be considered a great meal by some folks in deep SE Texas.
Finger lickin’ goodness!

How are we so sure the former occupants are drug dealers, and why didn’t the editor take that “fact” out of the story?
I submit that the occupants are merely misunderstood mani/pedi technicians.

I thought this was going to be an exclusive on the Crimean Wood****.My hopes have been dashed.

Monkey God, The Crimean Wood****’s flesh does not lend itself to consumption by humans without extended periods of marination — that is why you can’t order it from a window. As you may suspect, the Crimean Wood****’s only natural enemy is the same as that of the lemurs in Madagascar, the Fossa. My blood runs cold.

Really, they’re a new product – Earl Campbell’s Spirit Fingers.
