Cougar Captured In Seattle City Park
By Wyatt Earp | September 7, 2009
Holy crap, dude! I’ll bet someone called the police, too – like we would know what the hell to do with a 145-pound cougar?
A cougar that prowled through Seattle for about a week and forced the closure of the city’s largest park was captured early Sunday, wildlife officials said.
The cougar was immobilized with a tranquilizer in Discovery Park early Sunday, Department of Fish and Wildlife spokesman Darren Friedel said.
An enforcement officer tracked the animal after authorities were told the cougar had been spotted Saturday evening, the latest sighting in or near the 534-acre preserve, Friedel said. (H/T – FOXNews)
Just another reason to stay the hell away from Seattle: hippies, grunge groupies, and cougars. A Seattle newspaper snagged a cool photo of the cougar, too. It’s below the fold:
Roar! Indeed.

Hey Wyatt, I came across your blog a few months ago and I really enjoy reading it and your comments. Keep up the great work and stay safe!
As far as the cougar? I’d hit it, a few times at least!

Now, why is it I cannot run into that type of cougar. I guarantee I would not call the police Wyatt.

I expected the photo to be of Mrs. Robinson from “The Graduate”, as she is the world’s most famous cougar.
Why is it that women who date younger men are ‘cougars’, but men who do the same are studs?

Teetop – Just delouse afterward. She had Ashton Kutcher.
Ralph – I never run into that kind, either. Dang.
Mrs. Crankipants – Hey, I don’t make the rules, I just enjoy them!

Men who date younger men are studs? I thought they were sugar daddy’s.
We have mountain lions come down into town here sometimes. But our police have shotguns with 00 buckshot and AR-15s to deal with them if they get out of hand.

The reason a younger woman dates a “Sugar Daddy”, is because she knows he won’t be text messaging her constantly (he doesn’t know how), and he won’t run away (because he can’t).
I’m giving you five points for not posting a picture of Kim Cattrall.
