Well, Memphis gets a manatee.........suppose that is some sort of sign?.......like the Sioux and Lakota Indians getting the white buffalo........

There's talk of moving him soon.... before someone puts him on a payroll, or signs him up to vote, or even tries to "Pimp" him in another illegal brothel.........you suppose he came with Hurricane Katrina? or perhaps was some sort of stowaway in the bowels of some barge..........

Are we sure its a manatee?.......not some creature from Frayser, the wolf bottoms, or an old Humko oil plant mutation, perhaps a no child left behind science project gone terribly wrong.......noticed on another blog that he looks oddly like something that perhaps didn't quite clear the North Memphis Water Treatment plant......

I'm all for animal rights.......I think.......but how the heck do we know that he is lost?.....perhaps he wanted to come up the lazy river......maybe he's tired of the gulf waters hell, who cares.....he's here isn't he.......and people are downtown aren't they and its not even May.....biggest freebie we have ever gotten in this ten cent town and they want to ship him back.......wonder if Fed Ex will be called in on this?

Couldn't we just well adopt his "BIG ASS" for god sakes.........surely there's enough hot air from politicians and government officials alike to warm the water for him.....

some have named him Manny.......sounds simple enough......Manny the Mud Island Mud Puppy......couldn't we keep him .....huh......please, please, pretty please........how much trouble could he be?................


of course not..........well, after he is "rescued" maybe he will make a trip back.........if nothing else

a few of the jumbo hamburger establishments could immortalize him with the Manny

burger.........

take care Manny, be kind when you speak of Memphis.........
