…and then blogging about how unfair the “redistribution of wealth” will be.

 
 

This will ruffle some feathers.

 
 

It’s really for their own good. At least half those people look like they shouldn’t be eating ice cream in the first place.

 
 

Let the wenches dawdle in such dress
As they are used to wear, and let the boys
Bring flowers in last month’s newspapers.
Let be be finale of seem.
The only emperor is the emperor of ice-cream.

 
 

To be a truly accurate metaphor the photoessay would need to follow up with the birds taking enormous shits on the heads of their victims.

 
 

Oh my God, look at those Mentos!

 
 

Do they drink my milkshake?

 
 

Those people had it coming. They erned it.

 
 

They’re stealing, they didn’t even erne that ice cream!

 
 

too late for my puns!

 
 

Froley, you’re too gullible.

A Flock of Seagulls
 

They ran all night and day, but couldn’t get away.

those gulls are obviously illegals

 
 

If I was were one of those people I wood duck.

 
 

illegulls, sorry.

Those birds are WHITE.

This oughta be good.

Buddy, can you sparrow dime for an ice cream cone?

 
 

I noticed libs that every single one of the victims in those photos were white, so your analogy, though very close, still falls short. The birds in question represent the NCAAP, Al Sharpton, affirmative action wing of the Democrat Party stealing from white society. That the seagulls themselves are white is only central to my point. And of course we know the ice cream represents the myth of global warming, while the cones are the consequence of free gay abortions your Obamessiah wants to shove into all our hands.

Count your blessings. At least those fuckin’ badgers can’t fly.

Now we’re really skua-ed!

 
 

Sad story of ice-creaming-stealing gull in the OC.

 
 

Poor Johnathan. He tried to make a living, son but the seagulls took all he owned.

 
 

Quit grousing about the damn ice cream.

 
 

And the sad part is, the gulls just hawk it up later.

 
 

Tern the other cheek etc

 
 

Trolling for pun material about seagulls, I found an awesome new tern, ahem, term: kleptoparasitism. I’m half inclined to sneak a joke about wingnut welfare onto that Wikipedia page.

 
 

At least half those people look like they shouldn’t be eating ice cream in the first place.

Yeah. You can see them puffin along. They look like a bunch of grouses anyway.

 
 

Oh, the price of petrel etc

The birds were trained by the weight loss center these people joined. You should see the pictures of the exercise classes, in which the staff releases tigers to motivate slackers to keep running.

 
Rusty Shackleford
 

Never eat ice cream around seagulls. Cardinal rule.

 
 

They got the booby prize.
I’m sure they’re egretting their snack decision now.

 
 

Those poor people were just rooked into providing ice cream.

A bittern, although this line made me grackle:

The Birds is a classic conservative movie. Discuss.

The movie makes a teal-eological argument, positing the existence of a vengeful God.

 
 

What a bunch of flocking arseholes.

 
 

I’ve been pecking away with little success so I’ll just wing it then.

So, what’s the flap about? Why’s everyone flying into a frenzy? It won’t make any difference, willet?

 
 

I know this won’t be popular amongst people who are probably mostly animal lovers, but I’d be beating the shit out of those filthy creatures if I could possibly manage it (they do have the advantage of flight to consider). Seriously, seagulls are disgusting.

 
 

So, what’s the flap about?

Nothing much. Just the same old snark mixed in with trolls parroting RW talking points.

Yeah – makes me a bit upset that they’re the state bird here in Utah.

You should read the aticle J__ linked above @0:38.

I had to look this up because I couldn’t believe, but it’s true: the official state bird of Utah is the California gull. Go figure.

 
 

You should read the aticle J__ linked above @0:38.

Well, I did say the gulls had the advantage, after all. What I’m trying to figure out is why that guy was cited for hitting the gull. Sounds to me like he reacted instinctively. Also, I was somewhat influenced in my reaction because one of the photos D. Aristophanes links to is of a young kid.

 
 

Seriously, seagulls are disgusting.

This sort of thing shocks me. I don’t understand what can make someone think a relatively plain creature like the seagull is any more or less disgusting than, say, the Crested Felching Snotpuddle.

Never tried it, though I admit I’m intrigued. I guess I’ve always been put off by the fact that they’re carrion birds that basically eat garbage. But then, what we feed livestock, chickens, etc. ain’t exactly haute cuisine either.

 
Big Bad Bald Bastard
 

The now-ubiquitous Herring Gull was almost hunted to extinction in the early 20th century.

Hmmm… maybe the fashion for plumed hats needs to be revived.

 
 

I don’t approve of seagulls pulling shenanigans like this in broad daylight. Or kestrel maneuvers in the dark.

All of them birds are gulls. Calling the site “birds stealing ice cream” is tarring and feathering all avians with the same brush. I am literally puffin with poutrage.

Great Lakes region dwellers are probably looking back in fondness at the days when ring-billed gulls were everywhere. Looking past the stinking toxic puddles of double crested cormorant shit that is.

Mrs. Bundy, elderly ornithologist (Ethel Griffies)
 

I have never known birds of different species to flock together. The very concept is unimaginable. Why, if that happened, we wouldn’t stand a chance! How could we possibly hope to fight them?

 
 

I know this won’t be popular amongst people who are probably mostly animal lovers, but I’d be beating the shit out of those filthy creatures if I could possibly manage it (they do have the advantage of flight to consider).

Although I am admittedly of the cuddly-n-cute variety of animal lover (impure scum, I know), I had the exact same reaction.

It’s like how I yell at my dog and chase her when she steals my shoe, only without violence. Just because I like animals doesn’t mean I like this particular animal doing a particular thing to me, namely stealing that other great love of mine, food.

Ahh, it’s Bodega Bay-lout all over again.

 
 

Yer right about that, my featherless friend.

Our Crested cousins are beyond disgusting.

The just go around with those…CRESTS. Showing up at parties and ice cream stealing events all crested.

Honestly, we need to see if we can get a petition going to extend the hunting season on Crested Felching Snotpuddles while reducing or eliminating it for us good, honest, NON-Crested AMERICAN Felching Snotpuddles…

Thanks for the link, Lawnguylander, brings back memories, and no, I am not Dennis MacNamara. Hell, I am not even Ben Manila. You should listen to WFDU on Saturdays. Ghosty (Sat 9AM-Sun 1AM) interviewed Malibu Sue a few months ago.

 
 

Hey Big Bad, Lawnguy and any other 80s alternative/new wave fans out there:

This forum currently has posted links to a bunch of air checks from WLIR/WDRE and other similar-type formats from other markets in the country. Ghosty is actually one of the regs on that board.

Thanks, handy. I have actually navigated over there from time to time over the years. Poor Ghosty, he lost his job at a satellite radio station a couple of weeks ago. He really comes across as a hell of a nice guy, so I hope things work out for him.

No shit. I don’t know how you flesh-eaters can even swallow that stuff.

 
 

“Help! I got $45 billion in bailout money, and I’m only worth $17 billion now! Surely we can all blame my misfortune on that black President; this never happened when white guys were in charge.”

Don’t worry, I’ll give you and all the other welfare leeches (car companies, unions, etc) all the free money you want! I just have to check with our Chinese bankers first…

Considering the Jack Daniels distillery is actually in a dry county, that figures.

Cuz it’s kinda cold up here right now.

 
 

Seriously, my dear Mr. Wangchuck. Even the dough-brains at my local “newspaper”‘s web site were braying about how the dairy lobby must surely have heavily financed the campaign of the goober who rammed this through. Hey, if that were the worst thing our legislators did it’d be fine by me. {deep shuddering sigh, indicating that such is unfortunately not the case}

The ice-cream vendors say to the gulls, “The first one is free, guys!”

“After that, you gotta be creative.”

 
 

I’d also like to pause at this moment and praise all current commenters for refraining from feeding the you-know-what(s). Excellent! Refreshingly marvelous. Never underestimate the power of a pun thread to repel the unwanted.

while you minions carry the water and debate “history”, splitting hairs over Busch years of tax factors when most of those were deomcrat majorities holding the purse.

But you art doing your job well by trying to deflect the agrumen onto Bush and away from Obambi and his massive spending plans porked up further by miss piggy pelosi and reed the walrus.

only problem is that some people still look at facts and these facts are sickening no matter what “level headed” american would look at them.

Is it no wonder that all of this “must” be passed within days or weeks and not have a chance to be vetted via the web site set up for such information.. what is the number of that site Joe VP?

what a farce..VP a farce.. Finance cheif .. farce.. and seven others that did not pay the taxes they should have, buty will pay now that they are cought. sickening.

This is the change you expected??? liars, stealing your money? Tax cheats in high places?.. lobbylists given presidential advice?..

I thought we heard something about these things before the elections which stated that this nes most transparent administration woule not be saddled with these issues.
A good leader would have at least gotten that simple message to the troopds…. oh well, maybe they didn’t listen and will all be fired by tomorrow by this decisive new president?

We’ll be watching… My guess is that it will nev4r happen. SCOTT FREE ON ALL YOUR PROBLEMS. PICK UP YOUR PAYCHECK ON FRIDAY. GLAD TO HAVE YOU ABOARD. (screw the american public.. Did they really believe in the things I was saying to get elected???

tell em to grow up and get in the welfare lines and soup kitchens we are setting up. and we will feed them well… so long as they continue to support me and my decisions.

There’s this asian coffee beverage thing where they drip brew this super-strong espresso-like stuff right into a glass with sweetened condensed milk in it. Sometimes it’s served with ice. Normally I like my coffee with just coffee in it – but this stuff is way better than a kick in the pants.

Moxie makes Mainers mighty.

The outrageous health claims put forth by the patent medicine and soft drink manufacturers led to the creation of the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906.

Check out the first photo here, of the Moxie Mobile. Even the Goddamn Batman would look on it and feel a pang of jealousy.

I stock up on Moxie every time I go up to Maine, and still have a six-pack left in the fridge. It tastes kinda like root beer cut with a hint of battery acid. It’s flavored with purple gentian root, which lends it a distinctly bitter aftertaste.

I would totally throw a couple shots of Kahlua in that. Nom.

Hell, DKW, an Egg Cream would be preferable to milk… and ditto on the espresso with sweetened condensed milk. I stock up on cans of Magnolia in the summer for just that purpose.

I used to have a bunch of vietnamese techs (woulda been mid ’90s). They would take me to these little restaurants and Pho houses over around Tully in San Jose. And “desert” was “vietnamese Coffee” (pronounced “veenamese coffee”). It was exactly what you describe. They bring out this little drip pot and set it on top of your glass and you leave it to brew and drip while you eat. DARK French Roast.

Then, when you’re done eating, you put the sweetened condensed milk in it and GODDAM is it delicious. And potent. Your scalp crawls while you rocknroll thru the afternoon…

mikey

 
Dragon-King Wangchuck
 

That’s the stuff. You slowly make your way through a bowl of Pho as big as your head, slurping noodles and shovelling the raw beef to the side so it doesn’t overcook. Mysterious hunks of goo that the restaurant calls “tendon” floating around. Totally amazing unless they put cilantro in it.

And then the coffee. With the sweet and thick and dark and yum. That. Is. The. Stuff.

If a troll were to make its usual points about Jena 6 and Prop 8 and S. Africa and the impending Black take-over of America USING A SERIES OF AVIAN PUNS then one might feel obliged to engage and even applaud said troll.

Many observers have noted that the sequence of events in “Atlas Shrugged” bear a striking resemblance to the 2008 American financial crisis. Large financial institutions with shaky balance sheets such as Citigroup, Bear Stearns, and Bank of America that received government bailouts are contrasted with smaller regional banks that have soundly withstood the financial slowdown. Weak car makers General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler are contrasted with non-unionized car manufacturers such as Toyota, Honda, and Volkswagen. In both of these instances, the “worker,” more efficient companies bear the strong possibility of being more heavily taxed and regulated by the government while the “looter” companies receive monetary assistance from the government.

 
 

One of my favorite trips was a visiting a friend in San Francisco.

Burritos, horchatas, Pho and Thai coffee.

And red snapper tacos.

Can’t forget the tacos.

Dove stew, San Antonio style

Head out of an afternoon to the hill country. Grab yer shotgun from the Land Rover and walk up near the tank. Shoot the little fuckers as they fly in*. Double kills score bonus points (bonus points aint good for shit, ‘cept for arguin who’s got most of em). After ya shoot twenty or so of the little shits, pull a beer from the cooler and bs fer a while.

Head for home and toss the birds in the garage. Next day, rip the breasts out of ’em. They aint nuttin to a dove but the breast meat so jes turn on the hose and rip those out of em and toss em in a bowl or somethin.

Dry the cleaned breasts and season with salt, pepper and a dash of cayenne. Toss a few tablespoons butter into a 2 inch deep pan and bring to medium heat. Add the birds and cook slowly for several minutes – don’t brown them, just cook gently. Remove the meat to a bowl and cover with foil. Increase heat to medium high, add another dollop of butter or oil and and some quartered button mushrooms. Big plus if you can toss in a handful of “wild” shrooms too – shitake and chanterelle are good, morels would be fantastic. Saute the shrooms until they exude their juices. Add some chopped onion and crushed garlic, cook until softened. Add some dry white wine (dry french vermouth is my go-to bottle) to deglaze. Return dove meat to pan. Add some nic herbs like rosemary, thyme, savory, whatever you like. Herbes de provence is perfect. Add a cup or two of meat stock and bring just to a gentle simmer. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for an hour or so. Add one cup heavy cream and increase heat to gentle boil. Reduce slightly. Garni and serve.

*It’s kind of like shooting trap knowing when a target is about to be available. Most people cal it “dove hunting” but I always referred to it as “dove shooting” which seemed more accurate.

 
Dominican Underage Males
 

At least Rush gave us some lotion for our sore asses after he was through with us. But it was more sore from irritation than from invasive injury since his wee-wee is indeed very wee.

 
 

Why would you dry clean the breasts?

 
 

Can I use that dove recipe with another, more human type of meat?

Just askin’!

 
 

Like the old proverb says:

For children, a woman;
For pleasure, a boy;
But for Rush Limbaugh, one jar of Viagra, another of Oxycontin, a tube of AstroGlide, three twelve year old boys, a large sack of White Castle wolf cookies, a couple of pints of Ben and Jerry’s Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, a few cigars, and a ride home.

 
 

WITHOUT knowing when the target will fly…. fuck fuck fuck

Seagulls are not only disgusting, filthy creatures, they’re mean. Everyone in Seattle has a scary gull-encounter story to tell.

Still, I really miss waking up early in the morning on Pill Hill in Seattle, and lying there in the quiet listening to the gulls crying down by the Sound. We have lake gulls here but it ain’t the same . . .

Making a good pun is a real feather in the cap, but I’ll sparrow you the bad puns. I do think we should preserve eagality between good and bad puns. Even talonted folks can make a bad one now and then, and it’s said that even a wingnut may soar like he’s never soared before, sometimes. At least, that’s what Ashcroft says.

I really need to watch myself like a hawk.

Okay, I don’t think you’re grasping the concept, so I’ll help. Instead of what you wrote above, you should have gone with this:

PeeJ, you got a thing going on with the Vermouth and the Herbs de Province.

It’s like a signature.

I do much the same with quail, but I do it a little more carefully. You can gut ’em and pluck ’em and get the breasts, the legs and the thighs (mmm, DARK meat). I like to do a REAL rustic polenta with the quail, along with some kind of quick bread like Soda bread or Biscuits.

Wilted spinach salad with a hot bacon vinaigrette is pretty much the perfect counterpoint…

Crisped Least Weasel with Shredded Mature Goudas

I didn’t have a name for this stuff so my boyfriend’s friend named it the Mother of All Turdstarters. It is. Make sure to get a big glass of milk.

Ingredients:
1 least weasel, restlessly crisped
1 cup mature Gouda
1 hopeful baby gouda, alliteratively buttered
3 ounces angry mudminnow skull
5 jiggers maple syrup
1 can coffee

Lustfully grease a cookie sheet. Separate least weasel thorax from liver. Discard liver. Use a food processor to mix the baby gouda with the mature Gouda. Drip resulting potion over the least weasel. Dry – very onwards – the mudminnow skull, maple syrup, and the coffee. Pile the latter combination on to the former. Bake for 120 hours. Serves 6.

“Only once the liver is gone does the toad realise it’s been attacked. It puffs itself up as a natural defence mechanism. But since it doesn’t have a diaphragm or ribs, without the liver there is nothing to hold the rest of its organs in. The lungs stretch out of all proportion and rip; the rest of the organs simply expel themselves.”

Is this meant to be some sort of metaphor for the Republican party?

 
 

At the same time that milk was designated Tennessee’s state beverage, agate became the official state mineral. Whoever once postulated that the glorious border state’s representatives did not act in their constituents’ best interests was clearly WRONG, for what could ever be more important than this?

Pill Hill in Seattle
I need to investigate this appellation. There’s a Pill Hill in Portland, I am unaware of all Seattle traditions.

mikey,
Yeah, the Herbs de P is pretty much my stock in trade. I like to mix my own. I go a little heavy on the lavender and like to use savory in the mix. Summer savory is a hugely underappreciated herb.

The vermouth thing I got from St. Julia but it was strongly reinforced by noted Fat Lady Clarissa Dickson Wright. I keep two bottles on hand at all times. (Noilly Pratt is the only one to use) One in the liquor cabinet, one next to the range. Clarissa, an alcoholic, said she used it because she had no temptation to drink it, it was only good for cooking. Any time a recipe calls for dry white wine, vermouth works perfectly. Sometimes, exquisitely well.

Obama said that America would leave Iraq in 16 months and during the campaign the Republicans claimed he wouldn’t EVER do it, he couldn’t EVER leave Iraq. Now Obama says its going to take 19 months to leave. Doesn’t that just piss you libs off? Doesn’t it make you livid that it might take 3 more months? Weren’t the Republicans correct when we said he was lying because we said he would NEVER leave Iraq? Aren’t you furious? How about now?

 
 

Pill Hill is more or less First Hill, PeeJ. It’s nicknamed Pill Hill because there are like three medical centers in the area. A good friend of mine lives right by Swedish. It’s a great place to live, except I always joke that when it’s icy she could walk out to the street, slip, and wind up in the Sound. That is some hilly shit around that neighborhood.

Mother in Diner
 

Many observers have noted that the sequence of events in “Atlas Shrugged” bear a striking resemblance to the 2008 American financial crisis.

Many observers have also noticed that “Atlas Shrugs” bears a striking resemblance to a novel written many years earlier:

The 1922 novel The Driver by Garet Garrett tells the story of an entrepreneur, who, through his own vision and work ethic, takes over a failing railway, turning it into a hugely productive and profitable asset for the benefit of himself and the rest of the nation. Unable to see what he has achieved in turning his own business and the wider economy around from recession to boom, and blinded by the intense wealth and power he leads as a result, the general population and government turn against him, ultimately destroying him instead of celebrating his success. There is speculation on whether the work had any influence on Rand’s depiction of Galt in Atlas Shrugged or if it was simply coincidence.[2] In The Driver, the central character is Henry Galt, whereas in Atlas Shrugged the main character is John Galt. In The Driver, at one point, the question is asked “Who is Henry Galt?”. In Atlas Shrugged, Ayn Rand made this a major theme of her book, as many central and peripheral characters ask the question “Who is John Galt?”.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Galt

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It would be more irresponsible not to.

According to Mehitabel the Abyssinian, any number of cats more than her is “too many”.

Good Morning all! You know what they say about the early bird. Mmm worms.

OT (like that’s even possible at this point) – as much as I think that Paul Begala is a huge seething mass of Village idiocy, I gotta say the “All praise Rush” meme is pretty solid. And it’s nice to see the Dem insiders on the offense. This piece of snark is pretty sweet – although it’s also kinda funny that the best hit the Dems have scored in such a long time is an apology.

 
 

I think this Rush thing is brilliant. He’s their mouthpiece for sick and twisted stuff, and when called on it, they fall all over themselves saying, “He’s a radio shock jock! He’s an entertainer!”

Why are they apologizing to him, then?

I have two birds. My Cockatoo hates anything cold. He will not touch fruit or veggies that have been in the fridge until they warm to room temperature. My Indian Ringneck loves cold food. Even though she always has an ample supply of fresh water she much prefers the ice water that’s in my glass. And she’s absolutely crazy for ice cream! She can recognize the sound of a scoop dipping into ice cream from three rooms away. She would probably eat a whole quart in one sitting and explode if I let her. But the real fun is when both birds are around when I’m eating ice cream. The Ringneck will happily pig out and the Cockatoo will watch till he decides there must be something good he is missing and tries the ice cream. He will then shake his head and spray ice cream about the place, look indignant and wipe his beak on my shirt. Of course he will try again with same results over and over. In fact he’s kinda like a wingnut, he just doesn’t learn.
