WWW.UPANDCOMINGWEEKLY.COM MARCH 31-APRIL 6, 2021 UCW 19 WEEKLY HOROSCOPE NEWS OF THE WEIRD by the Editors at Andrews McMeel Syndication Just Desserts In late February, Thangulla Satish, 45, was killed in Telangana state in southern India when the rooster he was preparing for an illegal cockfight panicked and slashed him with the 3-inch blade strapped to its leg. Police inspector B. Jeevan said Satish was "hit by the rooster's knife in his groin and started bleeding heavily," the Associ- ated Press reported. He died on the way to the hospital. The rooster was removed to a poultry farm nearby. Cliche Come to Life Wendi Dale Hird, 56, was arrested at her home in Largo, Florida, late on Feb. 28 after throwing her cat in her 73-year-old male roommate's face, causing the cat to scratch him, accord- ing to arrest records. Police say she then struck the man in the face. Hird was charged with domestic battery on a person over the age of 65, reported The Smoking Gun. Recent Alarming Headlines Mates Jackson Perry and Shannon Stevens, along with her brother Erik and his girlfriend, snowmobiled to Erik's yurt in the backcountry near Haines, Alaska, on Feb. 13 and got the scare of a lifetime when she was attacked from below by a bear in an outhouse, the Associated Press re- ported. Erik heard his sister's screams and went out to investigate, opening the toilet seat to find "a bear face ... just looking right back up through the hole, right at me," he said. He shut the lid and ran back to the yurt, where they treated Shannon's wound with a first aid kit and determined it wasn't serious. Alaska Department of Fish and Game Wildlife Management biologist Carl Koch said the bear prob- ably swiped at her with its paw, rather than biting her. "She could be the only person on Earth that this has ever hap- pened to," Koch speculated. Awwwww Reuters reported on Feb. 24 that a wayward sheep found in a forest in Australia, has been shorn of the more than 77 pounds of fleece he was car- rying and is now recovering at Edgar's Mission Farm Sanctuary near Lance- field, Victoria. Named Baarack by his rescuers, the sheep was "in a bit of a bad way," said the sanctuary's Kyle Behrend. "Sheep need to be shorn at least annually, otherwise the fleece continues to grow and grow ... He was underweight and due to all the wool around his face he could barely see." Question: On "e Resident," Dr. Ran- dolph Bell was a jerk, borderline crooked and had a tremor. I can believe that he became a good guy, but what happened to the tremor? — Doyle Matt Roush: ere were references quite a while ago to some experimental treatment, but what clearly happened to Bell's tremor is that the writers decided to deep-six that troublesome aspect of his character and wrote it out. (Kind of like John Dutton's cancer/non-cancer from "Yellowstone's" early days.) By all accounts, Bell's redemption arc is one of the more satisfying elements of "e Resident." To submit questions to TV Critic Matt Roush, go to: tvinsider.com. By Damian Holbrook Cheers to "Fixer Upper: Welcome Home" for its welcome return. We didn't realize how much we needed more Chip and Joanna Gaines until Dis- covery+ started streaming episodes of the hilarious home-reno supercouple's new series. e show is as comfy as a cozy couch surrounded by shiplap and soft lighting. Cheers to "Kenan" for being worth the wait. Two years after NBC announced the show, the family comedy starring Kenan ompson as a widowed dad is finally here. It's so full of heart and hu- mor, we can forgive the holdup. Jeers to Fox for playing too many games. "e Masked Singer," "e Masked Dancer," "I Can See Your Voice," "Name at Tune," "Lego Masters," "Beat Shazam," "Mental Samurai," "Ul- timate Tag," the just-launched "Game of Talents" ... we get that they're relatively inexpensive and easy to make, but we already have the Game Show Network, folks. Jeers to "Superstore" for closing so early. It was bad enough when NBC announced back in December that the delightful retail farce would end after Season 6. en came word that the se- ries finale was set to air March 25. at's barely enough time to process the loss, much less get former star America Fer- rera back on set before goodbye!
