Mmm, love that shiat. It's like they dusted crack on a chip, but it's not crack. It's MSG.

ORLANDO --
A man is accused of choking one of the swans at Orlando's Lake Eola.
Police said John Wynne grabbed a swan by the neck and carried it.
Nearby police officers say Wynne dropped the swan after he saw them.
No word yet on why police think Wynne grabbed the swan named Ruffles.
An animal expert says Ruffles appears to be OK.
That's the entire article, by the way. Which is sad. Because with a couple of strategic misspellings, this could have been a story about John Wayne choking a swan by Lake Ebola.

Wringing? the neck is the best, and fastest way to dispatch a fowl foul. Grab them by the neck and just twist the body through the air. or Maybe some hedge clippers or something.

came in here to mention this, Swans are assholes and are known killers, very territorial, and far more powerful then they appear.
And they're not even that tasty from what I hear.

Everyone should chock their swan. If you don't chock them they roll downhill.

Swans are vicious, aggressive beasts.
I know someone who had to jump into a lake to fight off a swan who was trying to kill her dog. Dog was swimming around and the swan pounced on him and was trying to push him down and drown him.

It angers me that with all the remakes, Hollywood has yet to remake Black Swan! The original is awesome but it should be remade at least once a year. Next year, maybe with Anne Hathaway and Rachel Bilson.

Damn! I submitted the same story 2 days ago with the headline "Man arrested for choking swan. Since this is Florida you can be assured it's not a new euphemism" and all I got was plagiarized.

No, but I've though about taking a sand wedge and see if I could knock their head right off the top of their neck.

I hear they don't think much of you, either. But really, they are just territorial in regard to their nesting area. They aren't any worse than Canada Geese. Give them a wide berth during their nesting season and they are no trouble.
Why would the man do this? I think it has something to do with the old joke:
Q: Why'd the pervert cross the road?
A: He couldn't get his dick out of the chicken.

Not only are swans mean, but they are also stupid (or fearless). There's one at the lake where I walk my 100 lb shepherd mix that halfheartedly charges my dog, then thinks better of it and backs off. Satchel, on the other hand, is straining at the leash to go after the swan. I'd hate to think how big the fine would be if the leash broke. No shakin', no tenderizin' , down you go.

We live on a small lake. About once a summer one of those nasty farkers shows up on the lake and everyone around the lake comes out of their houses and starts throwing rocks at it to chase it off.
/They clash with the hot babes floating around on air mattresses in the summer.

I've always heard that. BTW, how hard is it to just grab the swan and snap its neck like a Slim Jim?

Native Swans are not dicks. It's only those eurotrash "Mute Swans" that are aggressive.
They're invasive species: choke them all.
