Weird News – That Poor Llama Needs To Avoid Fuzzy At All Costs
Thursday morning means that it’s time now for WDHA’s Weird News with the one and (thankfully only) Executive Producer Michael Fuzzy Lee.
Today in Weird News, a deputy in Washington State was called out to a dirt road by a delivery driver who needed help removing an unexpected obstacle. A loose llama stopped in front of the delivery driver’s car and refused to move.
According to a description on Facebook, a deputy used his deescalation skills and was able to sweet talk him into putting on a leash to get him off the roadway. I do have some audio that I obtained from someone who was at the scene, so let’s roll the clip.
“Oh, my beautiful llama.I see you have returned to me on this dusty road called Love. But for us to maintain our relationship, you must vacate this road with the leash and enter the expressway of holy matrimony. Because if you don’t, the delivery driver can’t ship your package, which I filled with peanut brittle. For you are my peanut, and I am your brittle.”
Wow, he really went all out. But there’s something about this that seems all too familiar. Where did I hear this language before?
“All right, Sherry, the courtship is over. You are my peanut. I am your brittle.”
AHA! So his boss is Pepe Le Pew. Makes sense, I guess. Good job.
And lastly, in Weird News, a Missouri church pastor claims that he said a prayer over the feet of a woman who had three toes amputated and three new toes miraculously grew back. That’s pretty good. Start with small miracles first, like the pinky toe, before moving on to something bigger, like raising the dead.
Now, if he could pray over me for a free six pack of beer and a pizza, I’ll be a believer, too.
“Have you seen the light? ” Yes. I see the light of the cash register, and it reads, I owe $0.It’s a miracle!
“I have seen the light!”
And the believer in me says that’s DHA’s Weird News.
You Should Probably Skip These Foods At A Breakfast Buffet
Eggs
Many establishments opt for powdered eggs instead of fresh ones, as it’s a cost-effective way to prepare large quantities of scrambled eggs to cater to numerous guests at once. However, powdered eggs cannot compare to the taste, texture, and color of their fresh counterparts. Another concern lies in the fact that these eggs are pre-cooked, which means they might sit at unsafe temperatures for extended periods.
According to the FDA, serving eggs immediately after cooking is crucial to prevent foodborne illnesses. Unfortunately, in a buffet setting, it’s challenging to determine how long the eggs have been sitting out.

Fruit
Unless you witnessed the fruit being freshly prepared in the kitchen, it’s nearly impossible to gauge how long that eye-catching fruit display has been sitting there. According to the FDA, when fruits are cut, their protective skins are breached, leaving the flesh vulnerable to the surrounding environment and any potential bacteria. This creates two primary reasons that heighten the risk of contamination. Firstly, cutting the fruit makes its water content and nutrients readily available to microorganisms. Secondly, without any heating process, disease-causing germs aren’t eliminated, further contributing to the potential hazards of consuming cut fruits from a buffet display.

Waffles

There’s a joy of pouring your own batter into a Belgian waffle maker, flipping it eagerly, and waiting for that gratifying green light before embellishing it with toppings. However, it’s best to exercise caution and avoid the waffle station. As per TikToker Brandi Augustus, a former hotel employee, the waffle batter served there is often old and sour. Instead of disposing of the old batter, new batter is mixed with it. It’s worth noting that not all places offering breakfast buffets adhere to this practice, but it’s wise to stay informed and make a decision based on the circumstances.
