GM's thread about nothing (20 Viewers)

I hate birds with a passion. Neighbor lady growing up worked at the zoo and had a bazillion animals, including a macaw (sp) and later a cockatoo (sp?). Hated both of those freaking things with the intensity of a thousand Tanners. Her son was my best friend so I was always over there and I guess because I had white hair too, the cocksmokingatoo would just go into fits when I came over.

1. Adorable

2. This kid rules.

I don't mean to nitpick, but it seems like a mistake to have Tre 4th.

 
So it's okay to bring parrots to weddings?!!
This wedding featured:

-Aforementioned Parrot

-Ping-Pong (and me gambling on ping-pong...down $5)

-A pair of lesbianed DJs who are super cool

-Bath tubs outside filled with beer

-Trips to the street to drink fireball directly from a 1.75L (killed it)

-Girl that drank fireball with us being unable to walk, but somehow not passed out (had to carry her to vehicle and into her room/bed - I was a gentleman)

-Then...it all moved to the bar
So it was just like a cornhole, then?

There would be four #1 seeds for a bracket, but you're right, there's no other place to put him except Tier 1 by his lonesome.

So do you not eat chicken or turkey?

 
I hate all birds. I've probably mentioned this in here, but I was attacked with no provocation by a pair of macaws at Xel Ha on our honeymoon and ended up with a bloodied left ear and right hand. Instead of helping, Angrywife stood there laughing and taking photos. I should probably upload those some time.

 
Honest to God, if I walked in to Albert Oaks and Cos had a Parrot on his shoulder I wouldn't even blink. I love Bob and Homer, but Cos is far and away the #1 seed in this thing.

Also, we had bacon-fried-rice with our lunch today (from an Asian bistro place). I am working on my third helping now with no end in site.

 
There's a thread for it... but I'm too lazy to find it.

Kids, right? They say stuff.

fer instance... 3yo Floppinha as taken to saying "whobody" lately. "whobody ate my cupcake!" match that with this face, and welcome to just how tightly wrapped around her little finger she has me.

7yo Floppinho, out of the blue marched into our room and said to my wife- "stop wasting my potential"- and then marched back out. he's older, and not as cute, so screw him.
Oh, good God....that girl is impossible to resist.

I'm a year ahead of you. Son is 8 and not cute. Daughter is 4 and too cute.

Hey GM, what's with the downward spiral of hoo-ha cream? Seems fishy.
I think this stock was incorrectly identified as a candidate for a tax inversion, whatever that means. There has been absolutely no news that would drive this thing lower...no insider selling, no change to earnings, no scandals. My boss took the liberty to add some more on the pullback. That said, it was probably due for a correction. We aren't selling, that's for sure.

A guy I used to work with grew up with a macaw or something that was like 400 years old. Such a part of the family that his parents- even in his 30s- would send him audio-tapes of the damn thing talking.

That bird imitated everything it heard... freaking uncanny: vacuum cleaner running over tile, garbage disposal chewing up pumpkins, whatever- and definitely people. The thing that most freaked me out... besides the fact that I could sit there and listen to those tapes for hours... was that it would ask for things. "Want chips. Want more chips". I still haven't figured out how to do that. 15 years later, I can still hear that thing :shiver:

Oh, I eat the hell out of it. Obnoxious but delicious.

Awful animals. I was attacked by a wild turkey at a rest stop in Arkansas when I was a kid. Everybody laughed at me too. IT NOT FUNNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've always wanted to fight a swan. I've heard they are the badasses of the bird world.

There was a bald eagle outside my office a few months ago. I walked outside and went under the tree to take a photo. Dude just sat there staring at me like "come closer, little man...I will tear you up". I took some photos and walked slowly away.

Exactly.

 
Don't get me wrong, this bird was a total dickface.

If you put your finger up by him, he'd bite you straight away. But it didn't hurt, so I did it repeatedly. He eventually gave in to my alpha-birdness and climbed aboard.

He also apparently can talk, but doesn't bother to do it very often. Again, a total dick move.

Sounds like this bird and I have a lot in common.

swan- 1

7 year old da raiders- 0

hate those ####### birds. i was in NH feeding the nice birdies by tossing birdseed out of a coffee can at the lakes edge. i turned to toss some to the new swan coming out of the lake and the 2 that I was feeding, absolutely bum rushed me. wings flapping, screaming bloody murder. i tried to stand my ground for .00345 seconds. they knocked me down, and one of them bit my wrist badly enough to break the skin and leave a nasty bruise. my uncle thought it was funny.

buuuuuut, i have been to a wedding with a parrot. a semi famous parrot, the maui jim parrot. LOOK AT ME!!

Had no idea bird attacks were so common. My stepmother (arriving tomorrow--rain predicted for her whole trip so going to see movies about Jesus is all I have for ideas now) was attacked as a kid, which is why she's terrified of them. As has been noted here before, Mr. krista was attacked by Canadian geese when he was 8, and every time we see one he flips them the bird(?) and starts yelling at them, even if we're in the car and they're 100 feet away.

Mr. Krista's reaction made me think of Belushi toga party involuntary reaction - just replace it with "GD geese!! with a glazed look in his eyes.

I was on an island on Lake Superior...my wife's family has a place there and we go fairly often. So when locals have weddings and stuff we are frequently invited. There's a guy on the island that has a parrot that will show up from time to time at outdoor events or the outdoor bar. Just about everyone on the island has a goofy pic with that parrot on their shoulder it seems like.
That's your wedding attire?

The parrot or the shirt? Its an island wedding, brochacho.

 
We were on a family vacation to San francisco in 2001. When we were at Alcatraz a flock of seagulls flew over head and you just heard what sounded like machinegun fire as the bird poop pelted the concrete. Then I look over and my pre-teen ( :homer: ) sister is standing there crying as she is totally covered in ####.

I just left a mandatory happy hour where I made lunch dates with three hot chicks all in the name of professional development. And made plans to go dove hunting with some dude at his family ranch. You guys really should try this whole community leadership thing.

 
Was playing golf at Brown Deer in Milwaukee and notice the twosome in front of us swatting at some geese. Next thing I know one of them is running for his life from a goose nipping at his backside. I was high and laughed very hard as did his friend. Don't mess with geese on a golf course evah!
