Silly Little Bird

Sep 25, 2009 07:02

So I was at work late last night. Graveyard shift, right? We're talking way the hell late at night. Like "Your life is crap if you're even awake right now" late.

And then I saw a bird whose life was crap. Because it was up just then.

That's not when birds are supposed to be up. Silly little bird.

This made me laugh! I like your writing style.

It was probably just attacking its own reflection in the glass. They've been known to do it to chrome on people's cars, too.

Man! Those birds are friggin' dicks!

This having been said, I kind of wanted to attack its reflection, too, so maybe I shouldn't judge.

(thanks, though. I would suggest, if you like my writing style, you might want to check my "comedy" tag at my home journal, for much, much more of the same: http://dave-littler.livejournal.com/tag/comedy )

That's not a bird. Silly.

Friggin' polymorphs. Always being things they ain't.

Friggin' shapechanging sons of guns. Let me tell you.

I was going to make a witty comeback, but then I saw your icon... and died a little on the inside.

dave_littler September 25 2009, 16:16:44 UTC

And now you can die just a little bit more.

Well, Dave, you don't know much about birds if you think this bird is "silly" or "friggin'." And I'd clue you in as to why your ignorance of birds hs led you to make assumptions about what the bird was doing or thinking, but you've so turned me off with your adolescent (I'm sure you think it's funny) repetition of unnecessary expletives* that I don't care to bother.

But next time, leave nature alone and don't be scaring it or anything and then priding your clue-free self on how you "did right" by it. Was it actually bothering you? Because maybe it was sick, and that ledge was a safe place for it to be.

*(No, I'm not a prude by any means. I can curse worse than "crap" or "friggin'." and if you want to talk that way in person, it might mean you're a "character." When you post it in writing to a public community, it's just immature.)

No worries: You've got other fans (well, at least one so far). The day is young, no doubt you'll have more appreciating your "style."

Curmudgeounly yours,

Um. You might want to look up the definition of your favorite word there. It's not the euphemism you think it is.

dave_littler September 26 2009, 06:15:32 UTC

I don't think there's a very strong case to be made that "friggin'" can't justifiably be utilized purely as an emphatic modifier without additional information to be inferred from it.

Eg: "That thing is friggin' huge!" does not necessarily connote masturbatory implications, nor does it seem to intend to carry that connotation.

So words don't mean things. Good to know, Humpty.

Man, you need more sleep - take this from the guy on lj at 4:30am...

dave_littler September 26 2009, 06:16:08 UTC

Ah, who can that not be said of in this hectic, fast-paced world? Most people don't get enough sleep.
