HOW'S THIS FOR A HEADLINE: "SURBURBAN SMACKDOWN"

The headline in today's St. Petersburg Times online edition caught my attention. Or maybe it was the fact that it mentioned the name of former professional wrestling superstar Hulk Hogan (real name: Terry Bollea).

Seems as though the celebrity is in hot water with officials in Belleair, as he has more animals than permitted on his property per local ordinance. According to Bollea's wife Linda, they owned 25 creatures; the local law only permits five. They include:

6 dogs
3 French hens
2 cats
11 other birds
5 tortoises
2 chinchillas
2 ferrets
2 iguanas
2 rabbits
and two toxic frogs

Linda Bollea became so upset during a code enforcement hearing this week that she described officials with a "choice expletive".

Another hearing is scheduled for Wednesday to determine if they are still in violation of the ordinance.
