  2. Wow, must be a reeeaally slow new day. Someone left chicken bones in my yard once, and I never even called the police. Or alerted the AA News. I had no idea it was so newsworthy, and I even had to pry one out of my dog’s jaws.

  3. It’s a bun made out of bread. As opposed to concrete, or spam, or sticky, or hair.

  4. What really irks me about this is the police laughed at me when I called to report that someone has been stealing buns from my bread box. At least I know where they went now.

  7. I’m just thankful that now I know to specify BREAD bun on my Krazy Jims’ burger next time.

    Seriously, though, what kind of a twisted pervert would cause that poor man to be at risk of skunk attack due to proximity to delicious skunk baitin’ bread buns? That is so naughty.

    I bet it’s terrorists.

  9. where I come from we would thank this mysterious stranger for the bread. The guy who called the police sounds like a nut case, was he expecting the skunk to be a ninja or something?

    It’s nice to know that the Ann Arbor police have their priorities straight…

  11. “I’m just thankful that now I know to specify BREAD bun on my Krazy Jims’ burger next time. ”

    Careful with the bread bun comments at Krazy Jim’s or… NO SOUP FOR YOU! (At least make sure you make the request at the correct counter station.)

    OK, I admit I haven’t been there in three years. Maybe they aren’t as strict these days?

  12. It’s manna raining from heaven, clearly. The Rapture is upon us, and Ann Arbor shall be its nexus. Who knew a critical mass of neuroses and over-caffeinated individuals was all it took to bring about this happiest of times?

  13. I don’t know about you, but I’ll be ordering my next Krazy Jim’s burger on a spam bun.
