Holy Exodus, Batman!

Quick Robin, hand me the Bat-translator!

Even the bats are leaving Cuba:

KEY WEST - The little furry creature that appeared out of nowhere had Keys naturalists puzzled. They had never seen anything like it, so they put out an alert for bat experts to help out.

Researchers had a surprising answer: The tiny animal, weighing in at just over half an ounce, is a Cuban Fig-Eating Bat, a rare species never seen in the United States.

Maybe they ran out of rice cookers.

Boats are leaving Cuba!?

What's the big deal about that... Boats, balsas, customized chevys, all kinds of floating structures have been leaving Cuba for over 40 years!

You call this news?

Oh, you mean bats...

Oh...

Nevermind!

Will they grant the bat asylum in the US or send it back to it's father in Cuba?

Posted by: caltechgirl at March 16, 2005 05:28 PM

That will depend entirely on whether the bat in question has wet or dry feet, of course...

Estan cansados de contribuir a la construcción del socialismo...

Así que pa' la Yuma se van también...

Now, if you are a HALF ounce bat, and you saw 100,000 rice cookers coming at ya,
the LOGICAL conclusion on the part of the bats is ,"screw this, we are easier to find than RICE..." pa' la yuma !

OR...

Could some entrepreneurial soul had put tiny little harnesses on thousands of bats, tie them all to his waist and point the little suckers to Key West?

They should be looking for some nutty Cuban covered in bat shit wandering the Keys, asking for the nearest immigration office and a quarter to call his Aunt Cuca in Hialeah

First came the chipojos (cuban anoles)
Then came the giant yelping Cuban cucarachas
After that, the poisonous tree frogs,
Now its bats!
A que horita tambien vienen los zum zums.

Capas que se empiezen la gente a difrasarze de winnie de pu, to fool the USCG

If they build a balsero ark, then they can come in pairs disguised as animals and empty the island.

There's probably some real eco-catastrophe going on there, some communist created a dead lake or a black river that destroyed the food or they built a power plant that leaked mercury into the bat fruit supply. Animals do strange things always for a reason - there was probably something castro did that drove them to take the jet stream. Nobody's harder on the environment, anywhere, than despicable communists.

I bet the bats fled for fear of being roasted in a rice cooker.

Quick, Robin. Hide the fig newtons.

Posted by: homebru at March 16, 2005 10:09 PM

They were afraid that they would start a KFB (kagastro fried bat)kind of fast food restaurant now that they are getting the cookers ready!

Estaban Muertos de Hambre and fled when a fellow Compañero Chivato bat shouted at a rally "46 años mas!" se echaron pa el carajo.

Thousands of tiny bats flying 90 miles over the sea is NOT a typical "bat camping trip"
Just like canaries in a coal mine these tiny extremely environment sensitive animals are fleeing because SOMETHING made them flee. Of curse we will never know what ecological cluster fuck has caused this to happen.
The infamous "rasquiña" (a pernicious itchiness that caused painful blister on people's bodies) that affected the whole country about 9 years ago (which the government "sort" of blamed on some CIA plot) was never fully explained but within Cuba the people knew it had been the leakage of some corrosive gases in Oriente. Now, WHAT is Castro doing with "corrosive gases"???
Let’s see. How difficult could it been for some mustard gas to have made into Cuba from Iraq? Just exercising some healthy paranoia! After all the explosives under the “Almedares” bridge and the tunnels in El Vedado are CLEARLY in plain sight on the Marianao side of both tunnels. And the usage for those explosives is not a secret. The Yanks show up and La Habana blows up !.
Another VERY good reason why the USA puts up with so much shit from the Degenerate Caudillo!
