SpongeBob SquarePants 'kidnapped' in Little Falls; ransom note demands Crabby Patties

LITTLE FALLS, Minn. -- He's big, he's yellow, and he's missing.
Police in Little Falls are searching for a blow-up figure of SpongeBob SquarePants, taken from his perch atop a Burger King restaurant.
The popular cartoon character was plugging his new movie in a joint marketing deal with Burger King.
Police found a ransom note which reads: ``We have SpongeBob. Give us ten Crabby Patties, fries and milkshakes.'' It was signed by SpongeBob's nemesis, Plankton. And the note had this postscript: ``Patrick is next,'' a reference to SpongeBob's starfish buddy.
A couple of us were going to put the cut out top of a brown paper bag with a white band painted on the top around his ankles. Everyone chickned out after all the thefts, and the cops are watching the BK more than any place else.
I remember being in a town once(which will remain nameless) where a new Wink's Convenience store was having it's grand opening. To make a long story short, this is, as far as I know, an Alberta owned and operated company only, and they have this huge inflateable owl they refer to as the "winky-bird" for a mascot. During the grand opening, they had this thing on the roof of the store....
Walking home from the bar with a rather rambunctious cowboy bud of mine(he rode bulls and broncs in rodeos for fun) He decides after way to many "pops" that this bird has to go, shinnies up the drain pipe to the roof, and decides to stab the damned thing....needless to say, the bird deflated, and blew him off the roof(about 30 feet up)
Probably a good thing he was drunk, as he landed, was coughing and spitting a bit of dust, but was otherwise just fine.... What a nut! He got kicked out of that town a couple of years later for roping an elk(National park).
