In Germany, a large catfish apparently choked to death on a soccer ball. And yes, that’s funny, because let’s face it — we’re not talking puppies and kittens here. Be it evolution or a supreme being, whatever created catfish wielded a wicked ugly stick.

It looks like the Explosion may not be playing minor-league basketball in Monroe next year. The Explosion may be gone, but there’s always a chance that former Sonic Shawn Kemp, who donned an Explosion jersey to play in a recent “all-star” game in Monroe, will be returning in about nine months.
Reeling from the battered U.S. economy, Starbucks will close 600 unprofitable stores. The coffee giant didn’t disclose which stores will be shuttered. But if The Buzz were a Frappuccino-loving North Dakotan (we most assuredly are neither), we’d be worried.
The Buzz thinks Starbucks needs to reopen one of those 600 stores — and reassign Howard Schultz as its assistant manager. Make him work the 4 a.m. shift.
