Normally I am a no frills kind of guy, but lately I have be invigorated by my new passion. Bird watching!
The key to being a good bird watcher is sitting still, and being silent (which are both fun activities in themselves).
Birds are very brave and exciting creatures. Sometimes they fly, sometimes they sit in a tree, sometimes they hop around, once I even saw a bird catch a worm!
So far today I have seen a cardinal and a pigeon. Two of my favorite birds!
I think watching birds is something people do once their life has peaked and they are afraid to look down and see the decline into old age that awaits them! Are you eating Grape Nuts before or after watching the birds?
What did you end up naming the new duck?
I donāt eat grapenuts, theyāre a little too exotic for me. Iām a no frills kind of guy. I generally just munch on some plain granola while bird watching.
So what did you end up naming the new duck? The OG gave you tons of suggestions, the readers are chomping at the bit to know what you ended up naming that duck.
I decided that naming ducks is a little too exciting for me so I have just been calling him duck #2.
This morning I saw him walk by while I was reading a article about term life insurance. It was a very exciting encounter.
Shut up.
Birds hate you.
No name, huh, ok, I shall call him Grape Nuts. Iām gonna tell other OGers to call him that to so he shall be known all over the OG as Grape Nuts.
Years ago, after receiving a promotion into the Engineering Dept at my Company, i was in a 4 person meeting that included the VP of the Company, CFO, my Boss and me. In the middle of it, when all was quiet as these eggheads were over thinking something, a Cardinal landed on the tree right outside my Bossās window. I decided the best thing to do to break this uncomfortable āwhat-the-fuck-am-i-even-doing-hereā silence was to say āOh look, a bird!ā. They all looked at me, looked at each other, im sure they all rolled their eyes, then probably began thinking they made a mistake with me. I mean, they didnāt. Meh, they probably did. Either way that Boss is long gone and im still here.
Moral is, fuck Cardinals. They stupid.
STOP THE GIMMICK!!!
Oh quite the contrary my good sir, cardinals are actually very exciting creatures. Did you know that a cardinal can eat 3/8 of itās body weight in one sitting, and STILL FLY!
How interesting is that?!
Cardinals are also very well known for their ability to spot out a fake plant way before other birds.
One time when I was acting silly I put a fake flower in my garden with all the real flowers. No cardinal would go near it! That was a very interesting day!
Cardinals are prey animals and humans are predators. Of course they hate me. What are you trying to say? Is this some sort of failed attempt to harass me?
Watching nature is fascinating.
I always wanted to be a nature photographer. Like working for national geographic or something like that, going to various corners of the world and shooting animalsā¦ on camera.
Careful, sounds too fun for ole KJ
Itās better when you have a gun. You can sit for hours enjoying nature just like that, but you can also get organic free range meat to eat
While this does sound like a lot of fun, itās not for me. Iām a no frills kind of guy. I dislike travel. Who would keep tabs on my neighbors if I left?
Not to mention the dangers that come with traveling. It does not fit in to my safety first lifestyle at all. No sir!
Though I do wish you the best. If you get any good pictures of cardinals feel free to post them. They are very interesting creatures.
Fuck Cardinals.
Oh, hereās our new Company mascot. He showed up in our park about a month ago. Weāre assuming he was dumped here by someone that had to get rid of him due to town ordinance rules, or the fact that he cock-a-doodle-doās all fucking day. Either way, heās pretty kick ass and has become very friendly.

The interesting thing about roosters are that they are somewhat fast. I was reading a very stimulating article about term life insurance one day and I saw a rooster run by and it was exhilarating.
In my excitement I looked up info on a roosters foot speed (who wouldnāt right?!) and it turns out that the rooster is in the 89th percentile of speed for a animal whoās legs are less than 10 inches. Man you shouldāve saw the look on my face when I uncovered that nugget of info!
I wish I could run that fast. Obviously I never would because itās unsafe, but it would be very hip to be able to regale folks with tales of my foot speed.
God damn I hate this gimmick. You have yourself a root canal with a god damn screw you savage
