Lookit me! I’m a tree!
This is how I know it’s Chicken Bedtime: when they fly up and settle on my shoulder. It’s not because they love me, it’s because they are roosting birds and I’m the next best thing to a tree.
And no, thanks for asking, they don’t have little chickeny accidents very often. Let them hop down onto my keyboard and they let fly the chicken plop, but they haven’t decorated my shirt yet. They’re ladies.
I was going to go with Rachel Jeantel and her apologists tonight, but then I thought, “it’s the weekend. I don’t feel like having a conversation about race. Chikkens!!!”
And for the record, I’m pretty sure Nelson Mandela has snuffed it and they’re keeping his chest going up and down until Obama is ready to enter stage left, but I won’t call the Dead Pool until the official announcement. It is The Law. It’s okay; gulliblepratt’s dick is surely safe for a few more days.
Have a good weekend!

Oh ya, chicken deposits. I watched the Decorah Iowa eagles grow up last year and they’re good about aiming the dispenser in a safe direction, and I once watched a pigeon take extra steps to see to it that guano went over the edge. But I was working with a fellow on a project where we were going to climb a communications tower, and there were a lot of birds, and doing a preliminary visual inspection from ground level, and as looking up with your head back your mouth goes open, and ya it happened. What are the odds?

They are just way too cute like that, regardless of their motives.
A friend of mine has an African gray (named Dorian. Get it?) which she has trained to poop on command. Over a wastebasket. Chickens can be trained to play ping pong; surely they’d make poopie on request, if properly motivated? Then they’d be safe for, what, couple of minutes?

So help me, I actually laughed at this:
Rare bird last spotted 22 years ago reappears then is quickly killed by wind turbine
(link goes to Gateway Pundit which quotes/links Daily Mail)
Doom. Oh – and happy weekend.

AliceH, I laughed my ass off when I saw that today. Sorry about the bird, poor thing, but it serves the eco-fascists right.

Rachel Jeantrel – prima facie evidence of an illicit coupling between a sumo wrestler and and Easter Island tiki goddess.
Either that or she’s a reincarnation of Angelfood McSpade (ref: R. Crumb).

Crumb would be arrested for some of those strips today. And I don’t mean the racial stuff.

Amazing isn’t it? A 19 year old *high school junior*, soon to be a 20 year old high school senior, who cannot read or write cursive.

I’m annoyed by the apologists who say “you have to understand, she’s not racist, and she’s not changing her story; that’s just the way her culture works.” However Zimmerman, who merely used the descriptor, “Black” was instantly branded as a racist.
As for the fundamental facts of the case, I’ve been confused since the beginning. As I understand it, it’s clear there was a fight. If I was being followed by a creepy cracker and he was waving a gun, I don’t think I would hit him in self-defense. I’d put my hands up. Alternately, if Zimmerman intended to shoot him, I don’t think he would jump on Martin first. I can’t see any reasonable scenario in which Martin did not attack Zimmerman first. Perhaps I’m missing something though. Still, it seems to me that the Prosecution’s fundamental argument is that Zimmerman should have taken his beating like a man.
Please correct me where I’m wrong.
P.S. I denounce myself, to save time.

Thought experiment: if Honey Boo Boo’s mom was the star witness in a murder trial, and she made a total mess of her testimony, how far would you be willing to defend her on the grounds, y’all wouldn’t understand, it’s a white thang?

Oh, and I concur, some veg. An armed man doesn’t start a fistfight. Does not compute.

Some Veg,
For what it’s worth, police had Zimmerman to return to the scene the next day and record a vid tape description of the events. All without a lawyer present.

Thankfully, the media hasn’t stooped (yet) to Rodney King style reporting. You know, when all of LA got re-runs of the cops beating on King but NO MENTION of why. The riots were the result of that media lynching.
I fear Zimmerman may well get Manslaughter, not because he shoukd, but because those 6 good women don’t want a riot on their conscience. The LA version ended up killing 60+ people, all bystanders who didn’t deserve it.
And lets not forget Holder and the JustUs Department! He can file all kinds of charges if the jury doesn’t convict.

I believe the media has stooped to the RK reporting. If they had the video of TM being shot during a struggle, they’d cut right to the Skittles in his dead hand. They don’t, so they keep showing the pre-teen photo of TM over and over and over.
I pray that Zimmerman gets a Duke lacrosse team day in civil court.

Wanted to say hi, Sweas & UB: hot enough over there w/ the chickies? I started day-dreaming the other day and decided an Alaskan cruise ship might be kind of nice this time of the year. Then the electricity ran out on the meter and had to be topped up. Oh, well. Instead, I made us cups of tea and we went over to the dog park at 7:30 on a Sat morning. All the nice people chided me for not bringing a flask. Inner city parks up here ARE nice! They should be! Glenda ain’t gonna live in no dump, is she now? Heh.

With Jim Kelly gone, is there any way to protect gullibleprat’s dick? Mr. Mandela is nt long for this world, and gullibleprat did get in first.

Well, but, contra my cynicism, it looks like Mandela isn’t dead after all. Or so it would seem. When’s Obama due back in the country?
