this time on the local level, right here in spfld. there\u2019s an article in today\u2019s paper about a guy who the city is paying $164,000 to rid downtown of pigeons and starlings. <\/p>\n
this was apparently all the mayor\u2019s idea.<\/p>\n
the thing is, how does the guy do it? <\/p>\n
MAGIC, of course.<\/p>\n
he DOES NOT USE POISON AND HE DOESN\u2019T SHOOT THEM.<\/p>\n
we know this because the guy said he doesn\u2019t.<\/p>\n
well then, how does he rid places of birds?<\/p>\n
BECAUSE HE\u2019S A BIRD WHISPERER. HE WHISPERS SOMETHING TO THE BIRDS AND THEY ALL LEAVE.<\/p>\n
we don\u2019t know exactly how he works his magic because THE MAYOR SAYS IT\u2019S A SECRET.<\/p>\n
secret magic, see. RIGHT HERE IN SPRINGFIELD.<\/p>\n
SECRET.<\/p>\n
MAGIC.<\/p>\n
also just in time for halloween.<\/p>\n
the amazing thing is the amount of money they\u2019re paying the guy for his SECRET MAGIC.<\/p>\n
oh yeah, the guy does have a license to use a special anti-bird pesticide. and he HAS SOME AT HIS COMPANY. <\/p>\n
but he says he has the licens IN CASE HE WANTS TO KILL SOME TERMITES.<\/p>\n
please tell me WOULDN\u2019T YOU USE A DIFFERENT KIND OF POISON TO KILL THE TERMITES? TERMITE POISON, PERHAPS?<\/p>\n
i\u2019m feeling awfully curmudgeony and generally annoyed with the human race at large at the moment, no reason at all why.<\/p>\n
we finally cleaned up all the halloween party debris, and i started taking down the halloween decorations but then i said to myself, GRACE! HALLOWEEN ISN\u2019T UNTIL WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 31ST! <\/p>\n
it\u2019s kind of like taking down the xmas tree before xmas.<\/p>\n
so i quit taking down the decorations and we now just have a clean and lovely and well-decorated house. we might as well throw another party because there\u2019s quite a bit of brie and dill havarti left. also a few cupcakes, but they\u2019re going fast. mysteriously disappearing.<\/p>\n
BECAUSE I\u2019M A CUPCAKE WHISPERER.<\/p>\n
ok ok ok,<\/p>\n
still grace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
