Gooses Geeses
by I just had an adventure in the parking lot. I was leaving the office, walking to my car...I couldn't see it cos there was a huge suv blocking my view. So I come around the suv and there is a goose waiting by my door. I shrieked. The goose gets to honking and charges at me. Without hesitation, I throw my bag at it and start running away from it. The goose just honked and chased me for a few seconds. Then the dumb thing got distracted and waddled off. I didn't want to get bit. I was bit by a goose before-it hurts. You see, I was antagonizing one when I was a kid-not a good idea. If anyone at the office was looking out their window, they sure got a funny show. I think I should do a reinactment! Who wants to make a sock puppet and play the goose? Ah my life is so entertaining.

When I was really young this girl from school, well her older brother apparently got his kicks by giving soda to little birds.
If I'm not mistaken birds cannot burp so yeah they explode.
Don't hold me to this, I didn't actually SEE it happen but he said it worked.
my sister got bit by a moose once. Mind you moose bites can be pretty nasty...

Birds especailly are the scariest animal, they can just come and peck you to death, i am mortified of birds.

pwn'd!
Quiet, you. I don't know howe many dictionaries she looked at to get THAT entry, but I go by my old trusted MERRIAM-WEBSTER DICTIONARY [the only one that counts, jk]. Besides, I've seen in used that way in many, many writings. Check it:

An animal, object or practice can certainly frighten someone so much that their faculties aren't theres and they freeze, like a dead person. I know snakes destroy MY strength and vitality! UGH! Anyway, I'll save everyone the trouble--P/VV/N/3/D! BOTH OF YOU!
did you notice that the #1 def is "obselete"? maybe you need to update your dictionary.
