Um… what are they doing to spread the disease? Besides breathing it out, that is…
It spreads through their faeces…
It's really annoying where I live because if you park your car underneath a tree the birds leave their mark for you to find in the morning. It's disgusting. Even worse having to clean it off. For some reason they tend to favour my mum's car as well.

I guess that would make the wild chickens around my place to be pests too. They raid the garbage, leave poop on my car… and leave poop chicken tracks all over it too. O_O

wild chickens
You have wild chickens? That's awesome. I used to chase chickens when I was on holiday once (a few years ago); they're good to train with. And if you were fast enough to catch one, well that sorted out dinner. Can "pests" be dinner though?

Though from what you say I think that the only conclusion I can come to is that all birds are evil.

My chickies are kind of evil but at the same time very cute and nice.

Actually trufax my chickens were getting dirty and I googled "how to clean chickens" and got a bunch of how-tos on butchering chickens and food recipes. It was only then did i realize I had gone full retard.

@Fools: I have never heard the association between pink eye and poo before (but my nephew is just one-year old, so it's not impossible . . .)

Also, are you sure its only human poo? can you be sure?

ALERT peoples! With all this talk and exposure to pigeon feces and chicken shit, a world epidemic is just around the corner!

Alright. So today I went shopping for Transformers (yesshutupiknowgodwhat) and like. I found this usually 24 dollar two pack on clearance for 13 bucks at Walmart. Granted it was missing a ring, but I found this extra guy on the floor (the floor, srsly) and the lady said I could just put it in my box. So I did! And I went to Toys R Us after, and another two pack that was price checked at $20, I got for 11. The lady musta rang it up wrong, or she thought I was cute. Which is cool too. Because she pointed me in the direction of winning 500 dollars. Which would be aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwesome.

Also. Got watercolor colored pencils. Gonna try these out. Aww yea.

Hhaha well, conjunctivitis (Pink eye) comes about due to an infection of some kind in the conjunctivia. It's usually viral, but sometimes has something to do with bacteria. On further research, it can be caused by a number of things, though poo is not out of the question (human poo is more common because you're more likely to come into contact with it in some way.)

I just grossed myself out. But it's all right, I've had Pink Eye too, I know how you feel.

Mmmm… making spaghetti this time, but with actual spaghetti instead of elbow macaroni like I did last time. Though I was extremely tempted, I'm going avoid using Filipino spaghetti sauce as much as possible… They put SUGAR in that thing!!! ew…

And one of my neighbors (who lives in his own world) will tell me how less MANLY I am compared to him because I can cook, clean and sew… which are jobs reserved for women. I guess he's still living in the 40s-60s or something. then again he IS 20 years older than me, but still…

——–

As much as I'd love to try eating wild chicken, they don't taste very good. And they've probably got parasite eggs in their systems that aren't killed by anything… not even being irradiated in gamma radiation would kill them, and as soon as they got into YOUR body they'd hatch, multiply, and subject you to a slow, agonizing death… or so I've been told…

——–

Ahhh… classic parody film. I'll let you attempt to make sense of it (or go insane trying)…

Youtube Video: Hardware Wars part 1


Oh… and just out of curiosity (and because I'm talking about Star Wars parodies)… is there any woman on this forum that would go beserk if I somehow grabbed a laser rifle and accidentally shot their hair, causing them to either go "Rambo" on me, or chucking an entire planet at my location? :spin: :nervous: :dizzy:

i have a cold
not. exactly.

Pink Eye

My little nephew shared his pink eye with me. If my loving sister had told me that her son had pink eye, maybe

may be.

but no.

oh and it's not pink eye, really. it's pink eyes

and I hate it.

the ugly I can handle, but I hate not being able to see.

oh sure, it'll be cleared up in a couple of days. but i like living in the now. except for now

I had a severe case of it a couple of years back, for nearly three weeks I could barely see. I was told it was either viral or herpes.

Fortunately it was viral.

It did dome permanent damage too, I can't cope with bright lights at all.

very hot here yesterday, although I managed not to burn in the sun. That fuck it's supposed to be cooler today. Also discovered that my eldest and I are allergic to ambre solaire.

;) actually Ozone, I was choosing my words carfully, because I've noticed the bulk of people on this site are American, and wouldn't necessarily understand my Aussie Lingo. IE. I've already run into a spot of bother by referring to a "Rubber" when American's called them "Erasers" and "Rubbers" are condoms.

The way you refer to me as an eastern stater makes me wonder.


YOU'RE FROM WESTERN AUSTRALIA. AREN'T YOU? AREN'T YOU!? HAHA MY THEORY IS CONFIRMED!

I knew it, I heard it in your accent!

I do find things like that funny when speaking with people from other english speaking countries. Boot/trunk and bonnet/hood come to mind as well.

Funny, we had a chatabout that after the latest Quackcast recording about those very things!
Skool reckons British pancakes are like sweet crepes. Are they? Personally, I always make mine thick… and always with sweet stuff, no savoury at all.

And I never got the hang of American muffins. They're big fat silly looking cakes! Muffins are something you cut in half and toast! That's what a muffin IS! …but the US ones took over the name here.
…Although McDonalds serve what they call "egg McMuffins" which are a toasted muffin with a fried egg between them… Which I think is a disgusting idea, but at least they don't call them "egg English McMuffins".
Does everyone have those?

Anyway, toasted muffins, for me, should only have jam and stuff on them, not savoury things >:[


Wikipedia tells me that piklets are different in the UK to Australian ones too- For me they've always been small sized pancakes. Riot reckons they call them "silver-dollar pancakes" in the states.

Fricken morons! They said "Moby, electrocuted on stage"… Morons. "Electrocuted" mean you fricken DIE, turns out he was just shocked. Massive, massive, huge, difference baby = dead/not dead. Pick one and win.

Heh. "I always make mine thick". Sorry, is it too early in the morning for that?

I like savory stuff with my pancakes- nothing better than wrapping up some bacon and eggs in one!- but I'm in the minority here in the States. Most people eat 'em with maple syrup. Gross. And I much prefer "English Muffins" to the silly looking cakes. They're far too sweet. And anything from McDonalds is foul.

Off to work in a 100+ degree warehouse. Granted, I get aa crawfish boil afterwards, and cold beer. But still, not looking forward to 8 hours in the heat.

feeling a bit down today, not sure why.

Maybe it's all this constant thing going over in my head… something like this:

"oh, I should work on project A, so it's long, updates often and has a lot of volumes,. but wait, I'd really like to work on project D cause it's inspired by european artists so I could do these 6 books, but htat would take ages and besides I don't think I'm ready for this one skill-wise yet so how about project I in which I get to draw vampires in b/w and it's just a single THICK volume… but maybe I should do another short comic in color or in b/w or finally draw project R or how about the project L cause it's first script I finished and it's sitting around but it needs rewrites so maybe project S that needs LESS rewrites and was the first script I wrote for MYSELF (as opposed to L that was for someone else), nah, I should work on project A… or X? or…" and so on.

AAAARGH!

Maybe I should start drawing ALL OF THEM at once :/

Nice to hear your pigeon is doing okay. Still not sure why pigeons are considered pests. Sure they may have diseases, but what exactly are they doing to make themselves classified as such?
Here's BBC's take on the subject. It not so much what a single pigeon does, but more that there are so many of them now. Collectively they're doing allot of harm to people.

I've also heard that their droppings are corrosive, meaning that they can shorten the lifetime of bridges that they frequent.

This is weird to say, but…man, thanks for knowing that. "Shocked" and "electrocuted" are used interchangeably so much that the definition of "electrocuted" is actually changing, but I wish it weren't, since the difference between those words is actually useful and descriptive!

It's just like people using "enormity" rather than "magnitude." "Enormity" was a useful word too…

Most waste is corrosive. The problem with pidgeons is they breed like rabbits (maybe even faster) and then you have 100 million(exaggerated guesstimate) birds pooping on bridges. And from wikipedia, they can breed year round because they are super scavengers. Laying eggs up to 6x a year.

Aurora, you really should do all of them at once. And then subconciously, you'll begin to work more on the one that you really want to work on. eventually it'll be the only one you're working, but at least you got started on the other projects.
————

I think we have an entire thread about "what you say differently" or something along those lines. We should totally drag it back since there is apparently a difference between a brit and an austrailan, and a Eastern austrailian and a western one.

I make almond meal pancakes. They come about as thin as crepes, but you can taste all the ingredients better. When someone makes regular pancakes, i can only taste bread and whatever syrup i throw on there.

I did sprints today, as i have to improve my run time. I love looking at the overall calculator. It makes me feel really athletic.
as in:
My total distance was 1.37 miles. My total time ran was 7:29.
That's the kind of speed i want, and a little faster than what i need.
Then my last 100 meter sprint was 14 seconds. The pace came out to a 3:45 mile. That makes me feel, Like a boss

Some shit about the words "Shocked" and "electrocuted"
But shocked is pretty vague! If you say "I received a shock" you'd then have to say "No I mean literally, not in the sense that I was surprised, I was actually electrocuted." then the person you're talking to will say "WRONG, THAT MEANS YOU DIE, YOU MEANT SHOCKED."

AND IT NEVER STOPS.

Here's my proposal:
Shocked = Surprised
Electrocuted = Received an electric shock but survived
Thunder fucked = Killed by electricity

I know thunder isn't lightning, but it's got alliteration, so it really rolls off the tongue. Try it.

Thunder fucked….


Oh my word, my laptop has yet to be fixed! I made a Portal shark comic on that thing like 3 months ago, with the intent to finally update. (On April 1st, just to trick people in to thinking I'm tricking them, when I actually did update!)
The only possibility now is to make prequels to that comic. I know I had one in mind that I thought was funny, but then I forgot it! FUCK!
BETTER GET DAT LAPTOP FIXED SOON.

Umm, uhh… haha. Stop, before I seriously consider this! That'd be a mess, since I didn't even list half of my projects… but maybe I should work on a few at once, I don't have to update them daily or anythig, I could stockpile chapters/pages/whatever.

Wow… just like the Brown Tree Snake here… except that the pigeon is a cute bird. Brown Tree snakes are creepy, they bite, and they'll eat cute birds. And we're trying all kinds of methods to control the snake… 23 million of them on this 13x3-4 mile wide island. All our native birds are nearly gone. The Marianas Crow is as good as extinct right now. The local rails are doing a little better thanks to captive breeding centers. I'm pretty sure that if they could, the snakes would have pigeon chicks (like Fugly) for dinner…

—————

Maybe I'll try my hand at video game reviewing. Well… just one problem. No game I review will get a score higher than a zero. Even great games such as Gran Turismo 5 and Dead Space 2 will get nothing but zeroes from me, and I'll even state why. And if the great creator diety created a game every game reviewer would probably give it a "perfect" score, but I'd give it a -5 for being TOO perfect. Causal gamers will probably understand what I'm doing, but hardcore gamers and hardcore fans of game series will probably send me death threats, assault me in public, and maybe even set my house/car on fire…
