Apparently, back around around the time I was in lederhosen (1957), the Montréal inner suburb Westmount (just west of downtown) had a brief clandestine program for dealing with pigeons, which should warm Jahloon's heart...

Jesus fucking H. Christ on a bike!

and an "Undeclared Aubergine", I wonder how many years that carries?

Though looking at the pic (and when I heard it on the radio) I imagine the pigeons to be nestling in the crotch area, tights and trousers at that position would make walking difficult.

Do you think customs heard his kecks cooing?

I think he'll be doing bird.

Spose must ad something groanworthy about him possibly getting away with it if he'd shoved his peckers up his arse in the first place instead of his fellow inmates stuffing their peckers up his arse instead... blah blah blah groan....

Better not get too disgusting or Kai'll be grumbling again

Well, I'm car-less this weekend.

Yes, the Jag is in the repair shop again.

They rang me yesterday with the bad news:

"Well, Sir, the problem is that pigeons have pecked all the way through one of the radiator hoses, and this has meant that all the coolant leaked away, the little chaps like to bathe in it. We've ordered a new hose."

So I asked how much it was going to cost...

"Well, Sir, there is the radiator tube at £30, coolant at £10, then there's labour, two hours at £120 pph. I know it sounds like a long time to replace a tube but we also had to remove the pigeon coup and scrape all the droppings off the fuel injectors. Then there's the £60 humane disposal fee from the RSPB (Royal Soceity for the Protection of Birds) and £80 for the Avain Rights Soceity 'humane relocation of habitat' charges. Would you like to pay a voluntary Carbon Offset charge of £5 to make this a totally green repair?"

Certain nosy neighbours who like to peer in my windows had this to say about your troubles.

(Yes, I'm a sadist.)

I heard one "Coo" and it crashed the computer.



How did you train them?

Sorry, that shouldn't have happened! I only intended to employ enhanced interrogation techniques, not induce major organ failure..

That certainly is diabolical of them. (It was the creepiest of the samples I could find on the net.) I was planning on mixing in some small arms fire sounds towards the end of it, at some point. Maybe some squawks if I could find them.

Gawd, I can hear them pecking at the windows.

Somebody help me...

When the announcer said "The pigeon is no more", I thought for a moment there he was going to say "It's pinin' for the fjords" next.

Didn't that ever have the feel of a Python skit? I'll have to show it to my son. (Shh, don't tell PETA.) Some times it sucks to be a pigeon, but not nearly often enough.

Funny you should say that, the pigeon is the only bird that can drink with a sucking action.

Other birds have to get liquid in the beak and flick it to the back of the throat.

Plus the pigeon is the only bird with a flapper valve. (Gazmungus pages passim)
