Birds

ilikebirds by ilikebirds · May 14, 2002 · 276 views · · · Journal

Was going to be a musing but went on too long. :

So when i was a kid, i always tried to take a little pebble

and see if birds were fast enough to avoid my accurate and powerful arm. Anyway they always did.. even in the middle of like 300 birds eating. i'd throw a pebble but to no avail. so before softball sat. i saw a bird all by itself...and i thought maybe i can hit it.. on my 34354th try. I slowly bent down to pick up the pebble.. and lobbed it over. WHAP. contact... i was so shocked and confused. i think the bird was too. He just started flapping. Anyway I finally did one of the things i wanted to do before i turned 30 : ' Hit a bird with a pebble '.

Don't worry no animals were harmed during this experiment. It was little pebble and I just lobbed it... I like birds

at the beach last summer (some of you know about this already) i threw a tennis ball at a seagull, thinking that it would fly out of the way. i mean, when do you ever expect to hit a bird with anything??? anyway, not only did i hit the seagull, but i killed it. and... there was this animal rights activist sitting right there. it was a big mess.

lindsay..how many times as a stupid seagull taken your sandwitch and your food?? theres so many. I think its really funny too

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002 ·

I know lots of people who eat my food at lunch. They're stupid, and there are so many of them. Maybe if someone would give me a tennis ball...

sounds like an idea.... or you could just use a bowling ball.. that probably would get their attention better.. no.. guys i agree with lindsay.. its not funny that matt killed the seagull, but.. on the other hand its just funny that he found himself in that situation.

thefunkyfresh thefunkyfreshFounder ·

i felt so terrible! it was an accident

ilikebirds ilikebirdsOG 2002 ·

magnum magnumOG 2001 ·

my friend had a pet squirrel, intresting lil thing. Very fast and would run around the house like crazy. Its claws hurt a lil when it would climb all over you specially if it wanted to sit on your head or neck :/. He would let it out in the yard and it would still come back to the house after it was done playin around too

malibu malibuOG 2001 ·
