Sorry to double post but just pulled the trigger (heh) on a pair of geese after another hawk attack. The tufted buff goose, a hybrid of the roman tufted and buff goose, which are pure-breed domestics. The tufted buff was "created" in 1990 in Missouri, because, I guess that's a Missouri thing? The tufted buffs are so rare they aren't officially recognized as a breed yet. Combines the friendliness of the roman tufted (who are credited with saving Rome from a sneak attack by the Gauls in 365 BC when some pet Roman Tufted geese alerted Marcus Manilus), with the meat production, look, and overall protectiveness of the American Buff goose. In Vietnam, our soldiers surrounded their camps with flocks of Buff geese to guard against intruders. The geese learned the sound of American voices and machinery, but alerted when something unfamiliar to their habitat -- such as, say, the Vietcong -- came near.... one of my neighbors is a Vietnam vet and I'm sure he'll be surprised. Either happy, or like he'll have flash backs. They live for 20 years.
Did anyone else punish themselves and watch Amy Schumer's Netflix special? Good god that was terrible. Why does she get so much attention?
I wasn't put off by it. It was the first one I've ever seen so it didn't seem derivative of some earlier work, to me. She seemed affable enough for me not to care she was stuck on basically one schtick. I just can't get on the hate train having not really seen much outside of show and this. Her traps are HUGE. YUUUUUUGE!
Because she happened to be fucking Anthony Jeselnik during his 15 minutes, then made a cheap show for Comedy Central to pad their daytime schedule with. Her stand-up was always bad, even the parts she stole.
Fear mongering at the local news is real. "Experts say to make these kinds of cuts you would need a glass cutter and a bit of practice." Yes, you normally need a glass cutter to cut a circle....a circle glass cutter to be exact. Then you need to be able to get to the other side of the glass to run the cut. "It's not the local kids," said John Perdichizzi from ASAP Security. "It's probably a career criminal or someone that's doing this." And the biggest tip off? "Police told us the markings are pretty rare and nothing was taken in either incident." A career criminal that's running around making impossible cuts of glass to steal nothing. Doesn't sound like a very lucrative "Career" to me.
A friend of mine,who I guess I've been on a few dates on since Saturday, wants me to go to karaoke with her. Yea, not going to happen. I told her I'd need to be 7 drinks deep to even walk into a karaoke bar I'm kind of wondering, are there other things that people do for fun that you'd never attempt or even consider? Lets exclude sky diving and other thrill seeking, except roller coasters
You've been on a few dates with her since Saturday? As in 2 of 3 nights since then? And you're gonna balk at karaoke? Clearly something is working, just play along.
Karaoke is a great way to completely lose any and all respect from somebody that took you so long to earn. All it takes is singing Tony Orlando into cheap mic.
This is where my anxiety will kick in and this is where I need to use all the good therapy to stop me from giving into the anxiety, going within myself, shutting down and the consequences that go along with that. I need to stay positive, work hard, it'll be worth it. I won't sing though
My favourite mushrooms don't taste very good however they can make a movie like "Bedazzled" seem absolutely hilarious.
Just realized I did the math wrong. Ducks are supposed to hatch day after we get back from Florida next Wednesday. And according to the fertility rates.... I'm looking at 20-22 ducks (approximately), if I counted correctly in that there are 30 eggs in the nest. There could be more.
Sounds like you kind of have a little duck farm going on. I imagine it'll take some work keeping the coyotes and owls out
Yes, it does. That's where the geese come in. Ideally, they'll be like that pit bull that's a friendly pup but can fuck some shit up. Geese have been known to kill fox, and certainly owls and hawks. My AR kills the yotes.
