Turntable Una'whale'able. Come Back Tomorrow

Today marks the beginning of Memorial Day Weekend, the unofficial start of summer, and many will be finding their way to the beaches to celebrate. For those of you in my neck of the woods, I would recommend staying far away from Twin Harbors State Park on the Pacific Coast of Washington. There is a rotting 30-foot gray whale on the beach, and the smell is said to be overpowering. What to do? Washington State Parks rangers have decided the best course of action is to let it decay and become food for seagulls and crabs. That will make for a fun summer in those parts, eh? One option not considered was blowing it up like those weirdos to our south did in Oregon back in 1970. Watch this. You won't believe what happened. American ingenuity at its best.

Oh, and state parks officials are reminding people not to take parts of the rotting whale because it's a federal offense. Uh, okay, thanks for the warning. That was close. Happy summer, everyone.



Tens of thousands of songs at my disposal and not one about blowing up whales. Pitiful. This will have to suffice.

I don't know what rotting whale smells like and I hope I never do...
Have a great, fragrant weekend, Brian.

Happy summer to all of you, too. Best weather we have had on a Memorial Day Weekend in the eight years I have lived in Seattle. Off to the hammock now.

Echorich, I'm shocked that this was not the first thought in your cranium:

I have not heard this since its release in 1979, but having heard it once, I can't un-hear it!
