How Not to Dispose of a Whale

At the Oregon coast right now there is a sad little whale who was washed up on shore and found his final resting place. As always, there is some discussion as to the best way to move such a large and smelly carcass. That same discussion back in 1970 led to a rather hilarious, albeit messy, result.

LOL! Large chunks of whale flying around and causing people to run for cover! Awesome!

This is one of those Portland stories (since it was a Portland news crew) that reappears every couple of years - either when we all need a funny story or when some news guy retires or, like this week, when another whale beaches itself nearby. It still makes me laugh every time!

Jeff and I read about this at your parents' I think. Your Dad may have a book about it? Anyway, SO FUNNY! And gross.

Oh Kristi, that’s actually really funny. Wow. The entire time I was watching it I was thinking, “Is this real? Did they really blow up a whale?” Crazy.
