A selection of Various Birds
He’s My Rebel
Justine (3rd from left, front row) has been dating Seth ( All black and white–no brown, left middle) over her parents’ objection. She just couldn’t help humming the old 60’s song, “He’s a Rebel” by the Crystals–“He’s a rebel and he’ll never ever be any good; he’s a rebel ’cause he never does what he should, just because his beak doesn’t tip like ours does, doesn’t mean I can’t give him all my love . . .”
There Goes the Neighborhood
Linda (rear, left, cute little white beak) quietly whispered to her husband, Thom (right rear), “Well, those big-beak shovelers are here; there goes the neighborhood . . . ”
Traffic Control
Kenny’s idea of using hummingbirds for traffic info for TV stations seemed good to all concerned until he arrived at the station and found the traffic camera weighed about 100 times what he did. He was concerned it might prove difficult to launch, much less actually fly, with it for the rush hour duration . . .
Three Stooges (India)
A newly rich Indian software genius had always loved the Three Stooges films, and acquired the Indian right for the series, using Indian actors. The actors, while handsome and elegant, seemed as much like the Stooges in real life as on the script . . .
Just Do It
On his first visit to Alaska, little four year old Eric said to his dad, “Look, a seagull!” His father asked him if he remembered all the birds in the Nemo movie that screamed “MINE, MINE, MINE!”, and explained those were seagulls. Eagles, on the other hand, he explained don’t have to say anything, they just do . . .
No Laughing Matter
The guys knew they were called Laughing Gulls, and they usually had a good time in the morning, a Starbucks, an Egg-a-muffin, but today, after hearing the morning news–the Tex-Mex border problems (just down the road), Ebola in West Africa, hurricanes in Hawaii, fighting in the Ukraine, and of course the ongoing Middle East drama– they realized the news today was no laughing matter . . .
