BEST Mama Had a Baby & Its Head Popped Off EVER

Now, I find the geese that line the Reflecting Pool just as disgusting as the next person, but not once have I found the need to decapitate the innocent feathered friend. The crazies in Lekeitio, Spain think otherwise.

This is what I read on the metro this morning from one of my favorite literary works, the Express:

Nothing says "summer fun" in Lekeitio, Spain, like "ripping the head off a dead goose." This can clearly be seen by the joy of (these) revelers, who held up a headless goose Tuesday during a fiesta. The deceased geese are strung up on a line, and the partiers rip off their heads. And you were just thinking that your family needed a new Thanksgiving activity.

When I was growing up, we just tore dandelions out of the ground and pulled the flowers off of the stems. Lekeitio brings a whole new meaning to "Mama had a baby and its head popped off."

    That's disgusting. And you know what's even more disgusting? That they were actually holding those filthy things.

    Dang. After reading that title, I thought the post would be about a certain favorite bus ride.

    I know of two bus ride stories you could be referring to: One involves Kimmmm's retired Kate Spade purse and the other deals with a screaming child for 6 1/2 hours on what may be the longest trip ever to NYC.

    I'm going to assume you're referring to the screaming child.
