Python emerges from TV stand
GLEN BURNIE - A woman was watching television in her Glen Burnie apartment Sunday when a large snake slithered out from behind her media stand, county police said.
The woman told county Animal Control officers she was in her living room in the 8000 block of Green Orchard Road when the 3-foot snake came out.
Officers found the snake in the living room.
The woman said she’s lived in the apartment for two months and does not own the snake. Officers said they believe the snake must have been left behind by a previous tenant.
The snake will remain at Animal Control in Millersville for five days to give its owner a chance to pick it up. If no one claims it, the snake will be sent to a rescue organization, officials said.

Yikes. That even sounds creepier than when the komodo dragon popped out of our china cabinet last May.
Really, these are the only pythons I want coming out of my TV:

I’d love that. They could handle the mice that come out from behind the fridge.
And seeing as it’s 3 AM… happy birthday, Bill.

Yes, happy birthday, Bill. I’m making a bacon shaped cake made of bacon for you. I threw out the chorizo one I made.
I’m glad you’re back.
Oh, and in case y’allmissed it on the Avenue Q thread:
“…and thanks for all of your support out there while Bill was….. away.
I was busy trying to distract the children from the ranting, and eventual disappearance of their father. We actually didn’t know he was gone for a while - just thought he was downstairs Riffing for unusually long, quiet periods of time. After the screaming, the silence was a relief, to tell you the truth. Until I saw that picture from Kevin’s yard. Yikes.
But he’s back and Things Are Better Now.

Samuel L. Jackson never has this problem with his TV.

Stop that! It’s silly.
I’d take the non-poisonous python over the highly dangerous komodo dragon - both venomous and rife with bacteria - any day.

They’re not actually venomous, but the bacteria’ll kill ya plenty fine.

Grendel’s mother keeps arising out from my bathtub. It’s weird and I keep telling her to stop but she never does. I don’t even know what to spray for that.
Happy birthday Bill!!

I’d rather have a snake come out of my tv than, say, a creepy dead girl who’s been in a well for decades and now feels it’s her duty to wage a war of vengeance on mankind and will kill me and all those that I love unless I force her spirit on another individual who will be doomed to the same fate (that, and the movie just kind of sucked.)
And a very Happy Birthday, Bill, unless you’re one of those vain people who doesn’t celebrate their birthdays, in which case, Happy Birthday anyway.

Due to your Affair D’ Coeur with Bill I figured it’d be more of a production. Perhaps a “Happy Birthday Mr. President” Marilyn style? Hummm?
Reply from JackTheRIFFER on March 31, 2008:
I was just trying to be subtle… I gave him his “Birthday Present” in private.

I’d pay good money to have the Pythons climb out of my television!
And have a happy birthday Bill! May your bacon always be crispy.

Except maybe for Chapman - I think by now he smells a bit.
Reply from Rob T Firefly on March 31, 2008:
He was cremated, so he couldn’t be “smelled” so much as “inhaled.”

Thank you all for the b-day wishes. As I enter my octogenarian years, it’s a comfort.
Can’t wait for the birthday pudding tonight!

And now for something completely different. A man with three buttocks and two snakes behind his telly.

PS Happy Birthday, Mr. Corbett. Have a second slice of snake pudding just for me.

To paraphrase Ice Cube, “There’s snakes in that TV stand this big?!?!”
