There's my exgf who was out this way visiting. There's myself for spending 8 hours with her. She talked so much I actually fell asleep.

Then there was the Walmart experience last night. My friend and I went to Walmart to kill some time looking at odd people, debate the merits of the existance of Walmart, and buy at least one unnecessary electronics item.

As I looked sadly at the depleted selection of Ben & Jerry's there, we heard this bird crying in distress. Walking over to the sound, the two of us, and a few workers, try to figure out where this poor bird is. Nobody can see it, but we locate the cries to be coming either from the ventilation duct or from above the ceiling. We eventually convince the manager to bring a big platform ladder over so that we can remove a grate from the duct.

Looking into the ductwork, it was decided that the bird could not be in there. The manager then actually climbed up onto the roof (in the rain no less) and about 20 minutes later, comes back completely clueless. At this point, it seems likely that this poor bird is stuck above the ceiling somehow, though nobody can figure out how that is possible.

We've now been listening to this awful screaming for an hour, when my friend climbs up onto the ladder and precariously balances himself on the handles of that platform ladder. He tilts his head so that one ear is facing straight up towards the ceiling, when suddenly...

He notices the bird calls coming from below.

Turns out, some IDIOT had placed one of those electronic bird callers on the top of a shelf above everyones line of sight. I guess, in some small way, it was a little funny, but it was more aggravating than anything else. We had to spend 90 minutes total in a Walmart!

Then there were these two guys on this message board....

IC...we have had very little contact on here...but the more I read your stuff, the more I like it.



Now if you were only as good looking as Drugs and myself.....
