Tiger


If you left a full size stuffed tiger toy in a field in Hedge End, Great Britain the local police would like a word with you. Apparently enough people mistook it for a real one that an expert team from the local zoo was being assembled when police discovered it was a toy. They aren't sure if the tiger was lost or if someone did it as a hoax yet.

I vote hoax, that started out with a drinking game and the phrase 'hey, that stuffed tiger sure looks real...' :lol:

Yuppers, alcohol was probably involved.

Q - What are the most common last words in redneck country.

Beer would have to be involved for someone to think this thing is

I'm sorry, that is just a random picture. The stuffed animal used in the story may look more real, but yeah drinking on both side is probably right.

While driving through Texas at 70+MPH I spotted 4 life size long horns (stuffed, plastic, whatever) out of the corner of my eye. Quadrupeds just don't play freeze tag!

The stock photo doesn't do the real stuffed tiger justice. Here is a link to a video of the actual tiger and it does look quite real from a distance and even fairly close up.
