Area Pup Recovering From Halloween Hangover

· Leave a Comment

Sid dove right into his hard-won bag of treats after a marathon 10-hour trick-or-treating session on Halloween.

“He only stopped for bathroom breaks and re-fueled on the go right from his stash,” says Casey Morrigan, a neighbor who observed Sid on the street multiple times that night.

Sources familiar with the situation say the ravenous sugar binge has left Sid in a lethargic state, and he hasn’t left his bed in two days.

“Classic tummy ache,” says Roy Kramer, a friend who had checked in when Sid missed his yoga class. “He’ll be fine, he just ate too many biscuits in one shot.”

Cat’s Obtuse Halloween Costume Stumps Everyone

· Leave a Comment

Abigail is the reigning queen of Halloween among her friends and co-workers. At least, she was.

“You can always count on Abigail to win the company costume contest,” says colleague Ron Simmons. “Last year she was Left Shark. The year before that, she was a chimichanga with actual, edible queso in her costume.”

But this year’s get-up has many friends baffled.

“It’s just a plastic bag. Is she supposed to be trash?” posits Tiffany Unger, Abigail’s roommate.

“Maybe she’s groceries,” says Ryan O’Toole, a longtime friend. “I don’t know.”

Abigail won’t reveal the theme of her costume, hoping instead that people will just “get it,” according to sources familiar with the situation.

“I guess it has some sort of political or environmental message,” O’Toole speculates. “I think she’s lost her edge.”

Hedgehog Driver Is Latest Uber Controversy

· Leave a Comment

Uber, the personal transportation startup now valued at over $50 billion, just can’t seem to avoid controversy. From alleged poor labor practices to surge pricing during emergencies to sabotaging competitors, Uber has been scrambling from one firestorm to the next seemingly since the day it launched.

Now you can add another issue to that long list: allowing a hedgehog to drive.

Reports started appearing on Twitter last week of a hedgehog Uber driver named Marty picking people up in the Park Slope neighborhood of Brooklyn, NY. By the weekend, #SpikeUber had becoming a trending topic in New York as thousands of people called for a boycott of the service over safety concerns.

Uber contends, however, that Marty has a stellar 4.6 star rating on the service, and that New York technically does not have any laws against hedgehog operation of motor vehicles. 

“We have a very good peer review system that quickly weeds out the bad drivers,” said Uber spokesperson Erica Diossa. “By all accounts, Marty is one of the top drivers in our system.”

That’s only half true, according to Uber users who have ridden with the hedgehog.

“Did I think I was going to die the entire ride? Of course. It’s a damn hedgehog driving a Prius,” said Tony Mars, who caught a ride with Marty last week. “But on the other hand, it’s still way more convenient than a cab.”
