Free the Stinky Minky!

My wonderful friend Amy sent me a message this morning, letting me know about an Animal Liberation Front raid on a mink farm in Kaysville, Utah (About 30 miles north of stinky Lehi). Seems a "soldier" decided to release 6,000 mink. I think this is awesome...not for the animal liberation reasons...but because why the heck are there so many frickin' mink farms around here? The craziest thing in the whole mink farm thing is this quote from the article: "They're real fragile animals," Wilcox said. "They shouldn't be in this area naturally." WTF?!?! Why are there farms for something that 'shouldn't be in the area naturally'? I digress. Hooray for the mink farm liberation. Oh, and I didn't have anything to do with it...but stay tuned for the story about minks released in Lehi. :)

You and I should begin a whole new era on SNL...educate the Saturday Night Americans on the beauty of mink stink. Imagine us dressed in our farming threads knee high in mink feces and lovin every minute of it. Remember the old SNL skit where the family takes all the smelly unedibles out of the fridge and can't help but pass around the smell? We could spruce up that idea with Utah's finest mink perfume. Ah, can't you just see it now....? Let's quit our lives and write some comedy-we missed our calling.
