They went inside a vacant Houston home to smoke pot...and found a tiger inside

The story was a guy had bought it at a flea market in S. Carolina. That was the story.

He lived under a local water tower (we were poor but I didn't know it) in a little brick building that rented for nothing.

So thelion got loose and for at least a week going outside was a big No. my mom used to drive around the streets and we looked to see if we saw anything around the house. She'd pull up, blast the horn, a lot of people were doing this, and then make a mad dash to the door. Once she was inside she go around to all the windows and have a look. We'd have our stuff together (groceries often) and we'd get the signal. My brother and I would run like hell inside the house.

One kid claimed he outran it in a fire trail on his mini bike. BS.

Animal control ended up over tranquilizing it and it died. At the end of the road (where the monkey was in a cage) and take a right on the fire trail. I'd say it was maybe 3-400 yards from our house.

That monkey/chimp was as big as we were and it was MEAN.

Talk about a buzz kill!

the weirdest thing that ever happened to me while catching a buzz was when I was turned a curve on a country dirt road and nearly ran into an emu. The bird kept craning its neck toward me and I thought I was going to be attacked before it ran away from me.

An emu! Brother, that was not what I expected to see when I began reading your reply. How fucking surreal was that!

Can you imagine the rush you would get seeing that tiger stoned? My imagination runs wild with the reactions I might have.

Definitely no lady behind THAT door!

it was a lady tiger.
