X = 0, Bird = 1

Yesterday I talked to ahansen on the phone and he asked me how it was going with the bird. I replied, truthfully if naïvely, that since the day I had posted I had not heard from him. I hoped, perhaps, that my hatred of it had manifested a physical form and pushed it somewhere far away ( Read more... )

This whole story smacks of Edgar Allen Poe. How did "The Raven" end again?

Are you saying my true love is going to die?

If you wanted to get someone to confess a crime, that bird would be a great way to go. They should import some into Camp X-Ray.

(My alternate post title was Dodo must die.)

Jezus-tap-dancing-Christ, you recorded that? So, this means you went up to the window with a microphone and recorded the eville bird in mid-song? Such bravery! My eardrums would have burst. Hell, the recording made me want to strangle a fowl (tee hee).

I have heard birds like the recording in NJ. Granted, it wasn't while I was trying to sleep or anywhere near where I was or am living, so I just would think "Wow what a strange bird" and move on. Yikes.

Honestly, I think (and I think I read somewhere) that songbirds can not only learn other birds' songs, but also start duplicating other "songs" they hear from things they mistakenly think are birds: phones, car alarms, etc. There's a bird in my neighborhood that has a song that sounds exactly like my neighbor's phone because they fucking leave their windows and doors open in the spring and summer so we have to listen to anything in their house. Ugh.

That's it, I'm going to get a gun and join the NRA.

Today we kill, tomorrow we OH MY GOD SHUT UP BIRD xequalsfun April 25 2008, 18:42:44 UTC

The window is right over my bed. And was actually shut when I recorded that. But no, I actually set it down and left the room while I went to another room for a nice bout of WSTS.

this sounds infinitely worse than the frat party noise pollution I had to deal with last year.

get a birdfeeder, and coat the seeds with cyanide... muahahahaha!!!!

What if I got a bunch of dynamite and explosives, and dressed it up as a really attractive female mockingbird? Hmmmm...
