67 MILLION TO ONE
Those are the odds of getting 2 hole in ones in one round. But that’s what Trot Radermacher did in Fargo over the weekend. His aces came on the 5th and 15th holes at the Oxbow Country Club.

FOOTBALL FOR THE DOG
Rob Maher, 31, co-owner of Unleash Brooklyn, a doggy day care business is offering football fans a deal. They can drop off their dogs while they head out to watch their favorite team. “People may want to go out to a bar, but they feel like they’re neglecting (their dogs),” Maher said. “They’re happy to drop them off with us so they can play with other dogs.” And watch the game on a 92 inch projection screen. $25 for an 8 hour Sunday of Games, Monday night game is $20 and the “season pass” goes for $400.

WHO LEFT THE LIGHT ON ?
Mo Zhaoguang and his wife had arguments over who left the light on in the barn. Finally, he decided to spend the night in the barn to find out. It was his buffalo. He found his buffalo was pulling the cord switch with its teeth. “It turns the light on to look for food or water – and it also even turns it on and off to get our attention if its trough is empty.”

BARGAIN WEDDING
Colette Palin, 25, wanted to get married to Lee Clark. But the cost of a lavish wedding seemed to be too much. But the Bukatree Hotel had a last minute cancellation last week, so they put a wedding up for bid on Ebay. The package included a red carpet arrival and champagne reception, followed by a sit-down three-course meal plus wine for 35, and a 50-person evening buffet. Ms. Palin ended up winning the bid for $79 ! “Incredibly I got a call later on to say I had won and I couldn’t believe it. I was stunned that nobody went any higher.”

SUPER SCOOBY
The Super Scooby is Britain’s biggest burger. 3.3 pounds and 2,645 calories it includes four 1/4-pound beef patties, eight strips of bacon, eight cheese slices, 12 onion rings, three sauces and a generous serving of lettuce. “None of our customers have ever been disappointed by the Super Scooby,” he said. “We have never heard of a bigger one being served up anywhere else and we are challenging any big eaters to come along and finish one. If you can manage that then we’ll give you a free can of Diet Coke. I have never tried eating one myself but I’d struggle to finish one half the size.”

WHERE’S MY ROOF ?
David Fischer, 76, had to cut short his vacation when he was called to be told his roof had been removed mistakenly. Bossler Roofing contacted him to say the roof of his Breakers West house had mistakenly been removed. Fischer said the company refused his demands to have the roof finished free of charge. Bossler offered to finish the roof at a steep discount — Fischer would only have to pay his insurance deductible — but Fischer said he does not believe he should have to pay at all.
