Wild boar killed in French shop

French police have riddled a wild boar with bullets after it got into a clothes shop in the city of Poitiers, forcing customers to flee.

The boar, weighing 90kg (198lb), was shot after it began charging at police, the French news agency AFP reported.

The incident happened on Saturday near a busy hypermarket on the edge of the city, in central France.

Fifteen people were evacuated and the shop reopened two hours later. Two other boars were seen in the area.

The boars are believed to be part of a larger group that forestry workers are trying to relocate.

Local police said the officers who opened fire were not used to dealing with such incidents.

We're talking about the French here.

Did they offer to put it on a pension?

Tiny, by boar standards.

Speaking about crazy x-mas shopping:

A Wal-Mart shopper overstayed her welcome at the 24-hour store in Lilburn. Gwinnett County police escorted the shopper home after she stayed there for three days eating and sleeping inside the store.

If you ever see the kind of people who shop at Wal-Mart, you'll find that story is not surprising.

Hey I just watched that movie last night on Ion. Man was that weird. I am however considering putting up a display next year of Death as the Hogfather.

The people next door to me have a fetish for those lighted deer. They buy a new one every year, so they now have a rather sizeable herd on their front lawn this Christmas. I've been contemplating going down into my shop and constructing a little pack of lighted wolves to set out front, having them facing the little herd of deer. I think that a figure of Father Death wearing his Hogfather robe would do nicely too.
