I've seen that behavior above my yard, it's thrilling! I tried to find out what that's all about and found differing explanations. Some people say it's a mating display, while others say it's a practical way for little birds to keep an eye on their big territory - one bird might claim a couple square miles and they can be pretty serious about driving off invading hummingbirds (although the invaders are pretty serious about sneaking in without being seen)

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Heh. Radi-Aid [link] The bouncing radiator toward the end kills me.
JZ, it sounds like they've been watching the raptors.

Heh. The Giants (baseball) board is discussing the Giants DVD of their championship season and they've decided that Buster Posey is a Mary Sue.
Pretty anvilicious of him to hit a Grand fuckin' Slam against our most hated pitcher, Mat Latos, in the deciding game against the Reds. C'mon, now.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

That was excessive and gaudy. He probably batted his big Mary Sue violet eyes right before he did it.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Doing crazy shit for the pure thrillseeking fun of it just because they can?
I totally would.
Bunny pets are the best. Only think better is bunny licking your hand. I need to go pet a bunny soon. Bunnies are soft and delightful.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I totally would.
That's exactly what the gay couple next to me, up on the hilltop cooling down from their tennis game and agog at the hummingbirds, said!

Plus he's coming back from a career threatening injury? And his wife produces cute twin daughters in the offseason?
Then in the sequel our scrappy second basemen gets taken out on a late slide by the hulking evil brute (Matt Holliday), and then gets the go-ahead hit which said evil brute misplays for an error? THEN Our Scrappy Second basemen catches the last out of the game in the obviously cinematic rain? Like, we haven't seen Shawshank Redemption before? C'mon Giants. You're better than that.
Not to mention the crazy reversed redemption stories for Lincecum/Zito, Panda and the recurring Mat (Latos), Matt (Holliday), Matt (Cain) motif.
Raining anvils, baby.

Come visit! You know Cricket fosters them and has several of her own, right? She's currently up to 7.

Oh god, this is what cats posts read like to you, isn't it?
None of those words make sense. I think the Hulk is protecting Bucky Barnes and then Nick Fury schools everyone. Right? Because that scenario needs more Natasha.
