unimpressed

For some reason, last week’s birdhouse drawing reminded me of ostrich heads. I find it hard to think of ostriches as being birds, though. I think everyone has an “I was attacked by a(n) (insert huge bird species)” story. Swans are especially scary. Seriously… have you ever seen one of those things out of water? Totally intimidating. An ostrich could really mess a person up, but I think they give fair warning with their ornary, you-better-stay-away-from-me-chump expressions. Swans, on the other hand, lure unsuspecting victims to their lairs with promises of relaxing and romantic swanback rides. Yeah, well, I’m on to you, swans.

You should see if you can find footage of when they did ostrich wrangling on “Dirty Jobs” — pretty darn scary, if you ask me.

[...] So, yeah… fall, it is. November and all. Hoob and I came across a scene like this in the park the other day. The barren birches must have just lost their leaves, because the ground they stood on was ablaze, as opposed to brown and crunchy. I was so distracted by the trees that I almost let Hoob go after a duck in the river. I’m very sorry to have disturbed you, duck, but don’t you think the alarm you set off was a bit much? Really? You needed to get your 200 goose friends to tell us off? Next, I suppose, you’ll be calling in the swans. [...]
