St. Louis bloggers – I need you!
Thanks to Catherine the Pimper of Pandas, I have taken to watching the Pandacams. So, was anyone else watching the National Zoo Pandacam yesterday? I watched as the Baby Panda rolled on his back (aww!), lifted his legs in the air (so cute!), grabbed his back ankles with his front paws (adorable!), and rolled into a sitting position (ooz an idda biddie baby panda?) so he could lick his rectum.
Anyway, that’s just a segue into this commentary about Pujols. (Albert Pujols, power hitter for the Cardinals.) It has never struck me before that his name is pronounced “poo-hole” or “poo-holes,” depending on the announcer. I have now found I have to eat at his restaurant in Westport next week. Shudder.
And in somewhat the same vein, I was distracted as the Clydesdales began to parade around the new Busch Stadium. And this is where I need some help from the Saint Louis Bloggers. Am I the only one who remembers back in the 80’s or early 90’s when there was a mad Clydesdale killer? I can’t find a thing about it on the Internet. Every few days you’d wake up and find out the Clydesdale killer had shot another Clydesdale.
Let me know!

I’m not from St. Louis, but I remember when I was a kid that the clydesdales would come to the county fair each summer. You used to be able to visit them in the stables and actually pet their heads and see the babies. But then there was someone who was, I believe, poisoning them, and so they beefed up security and you couldn’t get near them again. I am actually so happy to read your post, because NO ONE else I know has this memory and I’d started to wonder if I made it up.
I sigh with relief. Thank you, Lauren. Both of us can’t share the same faulty memory.
I am not a blogger, nor do I remember the Clysdale thing. However, for what it’s worth, I can comment on Poo-holes restaurant. The wine list is lacking, but the mixed drink options are sky-high. The food is just run of the mill stuff. The service is good. I’d go back is someone else really wanted to, but wouldn’t choose it nor will it go anywhere near the top 15 picks. I hope you have more fun that I did.
Five year luncheon? Damn my four short years of service.And I swear you hallucinated the Clydesdale thing and just paid Lauren to back you up. If there even *is* a Lauren.
1. Where can I get business cards describing my job as “The Pimper of Pandas”?2. Lauren loves pandas as well as Albert Pujols. Pujols. Pujols Pujols Pujols. Tee. 3. I kind of sort of remember stories of yore about Clydesdals being killed, but I’m afraid I don’t remember any specifics.4. Pujols. Hee.
Oh, Catherine, you make me so sad. I lobbed a ball right over the plate for you and you didn’t even swing.Class, would anyone like to suggest who is the president of the St. Louis branch of the Fingering Husband’s Rectum fan club?
Let the record show that I wrote a comment involving Pujols *and* FHR, but that TypePad misfired when I posted it and it didn’t show up. Bah. Anyway. Pujols is most definitely the founder of FHR’s St. Louis fan club. Hee.
