From the page: "Penelope Thron-Weber and her husband Bruce anxiously face the five somber-visaged officials who comprise Denver's Board of Adjustment for Zoning Appeals. Penelope may not look like a scofflaw with her schoolmarmish hair bun and quilted vest, but she's a lawbreaker nonetheless. That's why she's here -- to explain her wrongdoing and plead her case.

Her crime? Illicit chickens."

PrimalFly are the self-proclaimed "Hooligans of Urban Carp Fishing". Although carp aren't any good to eat, these MONSTERS sure look like fun to catch.

Whole Foods is hurting these days, but the recession shouldn't be an excuse to revert to cheap, unhealthy, unethical food
