Look at that. Those are goose teeth. Actually, they’re proto-teeth, but so what. Now keeping that image in mind, don’t ever do this:
Never tell a goose that you love her. She’ll see right through it and give you the what for right on your honker. Then some wag will post it on the internet for all to see and laugh at you over and over on The Overnight Open Thread.

Staring down a goose doesn’t sound like a good idea even if the goose is toothless.

@ BuddyG:
Cute!
Scaring animal babies when the mother is nearby is another bad idea.
Umm, dude, that’s a mallard duck
For reference:
Mallard
Canada Goose
Grey Goose
Geese are way bigger than ducks and would probably take the fool’s nose clean off, they are mean suckers.
@ Eliana:
If you can’t have a dog, a goose works. They’re territorial and aggressive. And tasty.
@ BuddyG:
Lol. Hadn’t seen that one. It’s going in my collection.
Takin out the trash.
@ AZfederalist:
Looked too big to be a duck, unless it’s a mallard mix.

Dude, have you ever actually seen a goose? They are like the size of turkeys. Whereas Ducks are just slightly bigger than chickens.

Now, I’m just hungry thinking about all those birds.

Ducks are interesting to watch. Sometimes they gather in places where there isn’t any water, which makes you wonder what they’re doing there.
It’s interesting to see them in their groups.
Ducks seem to like outdoor strip malls and traffic.
Maybe they’re looking for dropped food or something.
@ doriangrey:
I met a goose face-to-face at a park years ago. We were sitting in a park feeding the ducks when he snuck up behind me and honked. First time I ever jumped from a sitting position without using my feet.
There’s a concrete pond outside my office, about a half acre of fakery. A lawyer downstairs started taking bags of cracked corn out every afternoon to feed the mallards that passed through. The more ducks showed up, the more he brought. He got up to two 50 lb. bags per day.
Feeding wildfowl is illegal, because they become dependent on the food source, but the ducks were fun to watch. Hundreds would start dropping in around 3PM until the pond was covered with them, all fighting for position. Then about sundown they’d take off in squadrons of a dozen or more. Looked like the D-Day flights.
Mating season was fun to watch. All the male ducks would get real pissy with each other, giving each other shit and talking crap, while the females did their best to keep from getting drowned during the frequent gangbangs.
After mating season, we’d spot the ducklings, and start counting down the numbers of survivors, as there were feral cats around. The crows did a number on the eggs as well.
Eventually someone got to the guy who’d been feeding them, and he stopped. Took away our afternoon amusement.

Ducks and geese both. They can make real [messy] pests of themselves. There are lake communities that have banned feeding ducks and geese because they become aggressive toward residents demanding food.
There must be a Lefty handbook that deals with Geese foreplay. This dude obviously missed the gang email.
@ Eliana:
They’re organizing… comparing notes, so that one day they can take over Denny’s.
So, if she weighs the same as a duck, she’s made of wood?
And therefore?

@ Bunk X:
Have you ever seen wild turkeys?
They cross the street single file (no matter how long it takes).
When they have babies, there are usually two or three moms with dozens of baby turkeys and a few leftover adolescent turkeys (who look sullen like human adolescents when hanging out with their moms in public).
The baby turkeys can fly about 15 feet in the air. If a car is coming towards them on a street, they flutter upwards to let the car speed by underneath them.

I was trying to be polite.

@ Bunk X:
Reminds me of when I took the boy to the LA zoo when he was about a year old and we hung around the Lion exhibit. It was around feeding time for the lions. We about popped our eyeballs out of their sockets when one of them roared – the sound went right through you.
@ Eliana:
First of all, there’s no such thing as a “baby turkey,” but given that you’re referring to young birds, how far can they fly in the other elements?
@ BuddyG:
Classic.
@ Bunk X:
Well, these little turkeys certainly look like babies, unless they’re sparrows hanging out with a few grownup turkeys for fun.
They flap their wings while they walk quickly and just flutter up in the air when danger approaches. It’s an amazing sight.
@ Calo:
Once we took our kids to the Children’s Zoo. We picked them up a few weeks later, and they never misbehaved again.
@ Bunk X:
@ Eliana:
I was in Yosemite(late 70′s) and night watch late we saw some scrambling of creatures. To make a long story short, we followed some raccoons. The baby’s decided to climb this small tree, and boy was momma coon pissed when we flashed the lights on them as whey whimpered. We backed off because the momcoon was prancing towards us in a way that said, I or you will die if you come any nearer.
@ Bunk X:
Some zoos have an open air exhibit on grass with monkey bars on it where kids stop to play for awhile.
The sign says “Homosapien” with a complete description of our species.

Both, conspiring together for maximum LULZ.
Free to a good home or Imma going to feed them both to the lions at the LA zoo soon.

Just so we’re clear on the terminology, this is a young turkey, and this is a baby. I despise anthropormorphisim.

Hat tip -- jpsfudimo at GCP
Good morning everyone. been fighting a cold and I think I am finally winning. Reason why I have been out of sight for the past few days. So the good news is that I have returned with pretty pictures….
Good Morning Blogmocracy! Today is another
They’ll have to go back to slacking in their parent’s basement and wondering why their degree in Liberal Theology doesn’t buy them a place in the Bureaucracy making six figures to slack on the taxpayer’s dime. I hate them for that….
gloriousinglorious day in the Reign of Emperor Barack Hussein I, Pasha of the United States and Defender of theFaithUmmah! There are 357 Days Until the 2012 Presidential Election! 357 is a good number! I can’t wait until it is 0. We can undo the Great Mistake, and take back the Senate, hopefully with a crop of Tea PArty Conservatives that will make the Liberals’ teeth itch. Well, it looks like all the fun with the Occupy Wall Street crowd is coming to a peaceful end. These slackers can’t even get a good riot going. Except for the one in Oakland, but that is California, so that hardly countsPotential trouble for Cain
The man HAS to get the truth out about these allegations, or his campaign could end. He needs far better communication in place to deal with BS like this.
@ Iron Fist:
And here I thought their degrees were in Queer Theory!
Do it again. But instead of that stupid kid, replace him with a stupid liberal.
And instead of a goose, replace it with a cigar cutter.
BTW: Long time, no see. I’ve been rather pre-occupied with the sh-tstorm that has been going on in Wisconsin since the day Scott Walker was elected.
Freaking rotten progressives are out of control here. When all those wild animals were let free by that jerk in Ohio…well, I didn’t feel sorry. We have that multiplied by 1000 and unfortunately we can’t treat liberals the same way the cops treated those wild animals.
@ mfhorn:
Cain needs some good PR this week.
Cain needs an ass beating for his comments on collective bargaining.
I’m quite pissed at him and he’s on my “do not vote for” list because it is quite clear he doesn’t know what he is talking about when it comes to collective bargaining and that scares me.
Scott Walker is facing a recall from rabid lefties and Cain goes into his backyard and sides with the unions basically. Not cool at all.
@ Bill Jenkins:
These comments?
That sounds pretty sensible to me.
@ Bumr50:
Public employees should not be allowed to bargain collectively, if for no other reason than the fact that they’re basically sitting on both sides of the table more often than not.
@ lobo91:
I agree, but it was a pragmatic answer. Police and fire unions in particular are going to be extremely hard to get rid of, and often generate the most controversy.
I have no doubt that a Cain NLRB will be pro-business, if it continues to exist at all.
Cain needs to quit granting interviews to every pipsqueak outlet that wants one. And if he continues to give them, he has to learn to deflect.
I’ll cut Cain a little slack and write it off to him being ill-informed about public sector unions.
Nobody in their right mind would approve federal workers having collective bargaining rights. The unions have weaseled their way into the pockets of taxpayers state by state for many years.
What happens when a state gets wise? Fiascos like Ohio and Wisconsin.
I’m sure Cain would side with the “good guys”, but I don’t think he knows exactly why.
I think he should take heed from Sarah Palin’s failures and try to avoid repeating them. The mainstream media is no friend to anyone on the right. They want Romney and will stop at nothing to force that on us as they did McCain.
Sad to see Cain fail so badly though. I still like him, but he really needs better advisors.
