Eddie Vedder helps coyote devour Chihuahua
The other day I had lunch with a friend who I hadn't seen for a few months. She told me a story that is too good to be true. It's one of those, "it happened to a friend of a friend". But I don't mind spreading stories, even if they are apocryphal. Heck, might make it better. Maybe I could start up an urban legend, that would be cool.

My friend claims that this happened to someone she knows. We'll call her friend, "Betty" for no particular reason.

So, anyway, Betty was out walking her chihuahua in West Seattle, when suddenly, a coyote appeared from nowhere and snatched up her little doggie. Desperate to save her pooch, Betty pursued the coyote. She chased the coyote onto a neighboring lawn.

Much to Betty's surprise an irate man came barreling out of the house, the grounds to which she had stumbled onto in her hot pursuit. The man began yelling at her to "get off [his] property". The irate man was none other than Eddie Vedder (who does have a home in West Seattle). Betty was hysterical by this point and tried to explain that she was merely trying to rescue her innocent pet from the slavering jaws of a wild coyote.

Meanwhile, on a balcony up above, Eddie Vedder's girlfriend appeared, wearing a baseball cap, sunglasses (it was dark out) and carrying an umbrella (it wasn't raining). She proceeded to call the cops. Sadly, Betty never found her Chihuahua, who is presumed to be dead. And eaten. By coyotes.

And it's all Eddie Vedder's fault.

I wonder if that story is strange enough for The Stranger.

Sympathy to Betty and the dog.

LOL. Missed this reply until now. I'm sure the stranger would love this story. They would probably embellish it and make it a lot funnier than I did.

I was amused anyway.

I wonder whether they have a suggest-a-story link or something that might put one of their reports onto the story.

Also, completely off-topic, my wife happened to see a television documentary about Prader-Willi, which reminded me that she occasionally sees your replies to my journal entries. She wrote about it on her own journal here, but you might have trouble reading it unless you understand Norwegian.

My username all stemmed from a bad joke at work. One of the features of Prader-Willi syndrome is they will eat and eat and eat. So one night at work this nurse and I were joking that we had PW syndrome because we were starving and eating everything in sight.

Stupid, I know.
