Now It’s Serious
We here at Blue Crab Boulevard spend inordinate amounts of time finding and reporting on stories about the Animal Uprising™. But we sometimes think people don't take our calm and rational warnings about animal depravity seriously. Well, you'll have to pay attention this time.
Because it isn't every day that camels invade Sweden.
STOCKHOLM, Sweden - What is a dead camel doing on the side of a highway in Sweden? That's what police are trying to find out after the unusual discovery Monday. Police thought it was a joke when they received reports early Monday that the carcass of a camel was spotted next to the E22 highway near Karlskrona, in southeastern Sweden.
"But when the patrol got there it turned out be completely true," police spokesman Lars Lindwall told news agency TT.
Judging by its injuries, police believe the camel was being transported on a trailer, but somehow fell off and was dragged behind the vehicle.
"When that was discovered they probably just dumped the body," Lindwall said.
While we can't get the Griswold family and Aunt Edna's dog Dinkins out of our heads right now, this is serious! Think of the implications: if the camels overrun Sweden, there will be a global meatball shortage! Buffets everywhere will be left with nothing but chicken drummers and potato skins. We're all doomed.

My wife and I were driving near Riverside CA and came up behind a truck pulling a horse trailer. She commented “That’s the ugliest horse I’ve ever seen.” “That’s because it’s a camel” I replied (she wasn’t seeing too well that day).
