I heard on the news today that there is a population
explosion of chihuahuas and thousands of them are ending
up in shelters because folks run out of money and can't
afford them, after bringing them home.
Or, because of foreclosures, the entire family has lost
their home and the chihuahuas
are left on the street to
fend for themselves.
Literally hundreds of these little pie fillers are being put
down at humane societies, due to man's lack of empathy
for these small, shrill, shivering vermin and what they are
capable of doing on your nice clean carpets.
Hence my idea; Recycling Stations for Chihuahuas, of
Anywhere Inc.
It might take a wee bit longer to make them palatable but
they are small and would easily be made to fit into a
mincer, cooked and fed to their now homeless owners, in
shelters and soup kitchens.
In fact, it will be difficult to tell them apart from rabbit
meat if they are fattened on the right diet for a few weeks
after capture.
Cook the chihuahuas, and help mankind. Win-Win.

For campfires, or for rockets? |
|
| |
What is this, the two minutes' hate? We ran out of real
enemies 27 years ago, and for catharsis we're reduced to
hating on lapdogs? |
|
| |
Now, if this had involved dogs on unicycles, I might have
voted for it. |
|
| |
What, you hate dogs on unicycles? Shame on you! |
|
| |
[infidel] Took me a bit to decipher that anno. It has more --
and more entertaining -- content than the idea
does. Still no vote, though. |
|
| |
I guess it all depends upon how much you hate
chihuahuas, [mouse]. Me, I think of them as the
pigeons of the domesticated mammal world. |
|
| |
hasnt taco bell been doing this for years? I thought
thats why they had the Chihuahua as their
spokesperson? |
|
| |
I've seen prior echo ideas before, but your's really
takes the cake, [infidel]. Not fair. I posted my idea in
good faith, and then you robbed me of my adulation
and bunnery. |
|
| |
YOU STOLE MY GLORY, DAMMIT. |
|
| |
Now apologize or I will sick my pack of OH SO sick
chihuahuas on you. (Think Stephan King meets Buffy
the Vampire.) |
|
| |
Wow, [bliss], you're worked up good! (...that's kinda HOT...) |

Well, they're just pretending to be dogs, so we're off
to a flying start. |
|
| |
Flying french mime chihuahuas … that's some speciality act.
Cirque du Soleil better watch out. |
|

Collectively speaking, we have only one thing to say- "PULL! L. |

Deauville doubles, single trap or skeet, [8th]? |
|
| |
No preference, as long as there's space to bring up the
ammunition wagons for the Flakvierling… |
|
| |
//the ammunition wagons for the Flakvierling//
Ah! 20mm - my favourite AAA calibre.
A bit big for these critters, though. |
|
| |
OR FOR SEEING EYE DOGS, LIKE THE ORIGINAL IDEA. |
|
| |
Do I have to keep them in blue bags until collection
day? Or is there somewhere I can redeem them for
deposit? |
|

A scientific analysis of a representative sample of chihuahuas
gives the following results:
Loyalty: 0%
Trainability: 0.03%
Intelligence: < 23 ppb
Cuteness: 2.314 x 10E-18 %
Bug eyes: 19.6%
Psychotic aggression towards trouser turnups: 23%
Stupid ears: 15.4% (seasonally adjusted)
Incredibly irritating unprovoked pointless maniacal yapping:
47%
Remainder: hyperallergenic fluff and dander. |
|
| |
I wonder if this is how Taco Bell really found their
sponsor--the meat escaped. |
|
| |
The Chihuahua - the result of breeding a dog with a blowfly. Small, annoying, and funny-looking. |
|
| |
//Cuteness: 2.314 x 10E-18 %// |
|
| |
That appears to b a gross exaggeration, [8th]. |
|
| |
There is a wide error band on that value, [inf]. We can't discount the possibility that the calibration was affected when the chihuahua was forced into the mass spectrometer's vacuum chamber. |
|
| |
// breeding a dog with a blowfly // |
|
| |
It might help if there was a mandatory 5- cent deposit fee
on every Chihuahua purchase. |
|
| |
As for the tangent topic: you can joke about
overcompensation all you want, but I'm awfully partial to
the Flakzwilling. |
|
| |
Which calibre ? They built them up to 150mm ... |
|
| |
[8th], I like the 128mm, especially the fixed twin-mount. I got a chance to see one when the US Army Ordnance Museum was still at Aberdeen. FlZwg 44, if I'm not mistaken. I find the design of the breech-lock particulary artful. |
|
| |
Now that I think about it, a Chihuahua could easily fit into a 128... |
|
| |
A Chihuahua would probably fit into an 88 ... or indeed a 20mm, with the help of a length of broom handle to act as a rammer, and a heavy mallet. |

Great book, I can see it from here (by which I mean it's on my bookshelf). I just didn't want to link to anything due to this tangent being decidedly off-topic. How about a Bofors? Four Chihuahuas at once! |
|
| |
Though the CMC and the Humane Society would be
all up in arms over them, a JP233 could carry a
payload of at least 215 chihuahuas. There should still
be a few around, despite their withdrawal from
service in the last few years. |
|
| |
Would Chihuahuas survive ballistic re-entry? |
|
| |
My dad is a veterinarian (IKYN). Maybe with our collective knowledge of WWII/Cold War armaments and his three decades of vet-med experience, we could realize this tangent into an actual halfbaked bun of our own! |
|
| |
Side note: why did Gander and Chamberlain include the Flakzwilling 44 in thier work when technically it was a naval weapon (being used almost exclusively in shore battery deployment)? Or did they... I haven't actually bothered to get up, cross the room, and check. Maybe I should do that... |

Build it. Build it now.
And they will come. |

It was a Flak _40_ I was thinking of, not 44. Where is my head? |
|
| |
Hmmmm … the V-1 carried about 850Kg of Amatol… density of
about 2, say 500 litres… how many chihuahuas can be crammed
into half a cubic metre? |
|
| |
With or without a hydraulic press? |
|
| |
We've had these for years in England. <link> |
|
| |
// how many chihuahuas can be crammed into half a cubic metre?//
Not enough.
Going to need a bigger rocket. |
|
| |
I think I saw some Saturn Vs lying around the Halfbakery
recently. Maybe we could use one of those. |
|
| |
Without, definitely. It's important to preserve these old craft
skills that are such a vital part of rural life. Cider apples, and
grapes for wine are still pressed by traditional methods; it would
be tragic if it were no longer possible to go and see a proper old-
fashioned chihuahua press in action. |
|
| |
You know, I'm pretty sure my dad has one of those in the
back room. |
