Weird Bird Friday – Don’t know why this week seemed so long

Oh I know the Republican Convention was on. It was so small and so dare I say it Conventional that I had to watch all 5 Dirty Harry movies. What a drain. 

So I found this really beautiful and really weird looking bird for today.

Weird Cow Friday – It’s true it is the Illinois State Fair time again

I was really disappointed in the Illinois State Fair this year. Last year there was so much energy conservation going on, both in the public and the private sector.  This year there was nothing but Conservation World. DO NOT get me wrong, as I said to the guy on the trolley as we drove by, “When I was young Conservation World was 2 guys under a tent. One guy from Ag. and one guy from DNR.” Now it takes up an entire corner of the Fair Grounds, has its own lake and the huge and energy efficient Department of Natural Resources building. It’s just that there wasn’t much going on around the rest of the fairgrounds. Yes, there were corn dogs and all the other exciting things that make the fair so cool, but I guess I got spoiled.

Anyway I go to the fair for the world famous Butter Cow. It starts out as this:

Then they strip it down to this:

That is a telephone by the way in its head. Then they build it back to this:

The skunks are new!

Weird Bird Friday – I am having a Dick Cheney moment

TGI(WB)F!  Another week gone by without the Great Depression that Grover Norquist, Dick Chaney, Donald Rumsfeld, and Phil Gramm tried to create. Hmmm.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS THE WORK OF INTERNET ASSHOLES…

Last week or maybe the week before i got a letter from a group called CartoonStock ordering me to take down an image and allowing the use of it for a “reasonable price”… So I am putting them up here so they can get the ridicule they deserve…by the way the comic was of two birds sitting on clouds. and one bird says to the other. “I flew over this funeral and 6 guns point guns at me and start shooting”

Weird Bird Friday – Now that the gnats are gone and Susan Kay is back on

It is a little know fact that they studied Channeling with Shirley McLaine and were Maya in previous lives. That explains their penchant for vacationing in Mexico or is it the exchange rate?

Weird Bird Saturday – The Buffalo Gnats are gone and the Japanese Beetles are here

So I don’t really have an excuse for not doing the bird on Friday but sadly my partner Susan Kay has lost her way. She no longer posts so I may have to consider letting the Bird fly away. Sigh.

I thought I would show the “trick” to the Hummingbird Lady as a sign off.

Weird Bird Saturday – I am allergic to Buffalo Gnats

I can’t play outside on Saturdays anymore.

So I will be posting birds on Saturday for awhile. What’s so weird about these birds? The photographer claims that one is a boy and one is a girl. Which is which?

Hummingbirds That Eat Out Of Your Hand – Thanks to Cindy Musgrove

The former Cindy Paddock that now operates a Framing/Art Busines in Wray Colorado sent me this Photo. Pretty amazing…its not so much that the birds look weird, they are acting weird.
