Picture of the Day

I am very open to criticism and/or constructive comments. I have no problem with the artful use of foul language. I certainly don't mind praise. If you don't like what I wrote, feel free to mention it, but for the love of god, try to spell things correctly. Obligatory racism, abusive comments containing sexual orientation and dumbass hatespeech of any kind will be met with me promptly taking your ass, wrapping it up in snide criticism, and then handing it back to you, followed by me deleting your idiotic retort. Arbitrary flame wars will not be tolerated. If you post an ad without my permission, I will hunt you down in the night and destroy you.
They've adjusted well considering this is the first Chinaman any of them has met.
ReplyDeleteFunnily enough, the ostrich is the only one with no reason to stick its head in the sand.
ReplyDeleteArchbishop Bartholomew did not approve of any avian-powered transportation no matter how supple the extremities or how delicious it had the potential to be.
ReplyDeleteEverybody knows ostriches don't make good farmers.
ReplyDeleteIn order to create the first flying carriages, Edward decided to begin by enlisting the largest bird he could find. He would, of course, die a horrible death, penniless and alone, having been kicked to death by his life's work. This exact sort of failure wouldn't occur again until the death of Kevin Costner in 2015.
ReplyDelete"Will somebody hold that ostrich still? I'm trying to squirt out my fourteenth kid over here"
ReplyDeleteIt would have been a fine conveyance, capable of traveling long distances with little fuel. However, no one could have foreseen the propensity of Ostriches to projectile shit, and at exactly the wrong height.
ReplyDeleteEven non-Amish kids wanted to ride the Lancaster County Fire Truck.
ReplyDeleteEverything was going fine until it saw the giant cat.
ReplyDelete"Man, this idea really...LAID AN EGG! Eh, eh? Anybody?"
ReplyDeleteThough, in all fairness to the Ostrich rights groups that complained, it probably wasn't the most tactile move to put a frying pan and a bottle of hot sauce directly behind the bird.
ReplyDeleteThis photo clearly proves that birds evolved from dinosaurs and the Amish evolved from the Flintstones.
ReplyDelete"To infinity and beyond!"
ReplyDelete"Yea yea, just bring back milk and eggs before dinner."
"Picture of the Day". Is that day yesterday?
ReplyDeleteAs it was the first one, I decided to put it up early. That way, it would be available to everyone the next morning, when I invariable would be asleep.
DeleteAh yes, I see. A very long day, as it were.

ReplyDeleteHow can I reply to a comment that's been removed?
DeleteI guess I'm just talking to myself.
DeleteWhen the hard times came the Cawstons could not afford to feed their horse so they replaced it with a new critter to pull their cart to market. Luckily they found one that eats like a bird.
ReplyDeleteBeing simple folk, they hadn't realized that spearing the ostrich thru the thighs with the cart would prevent the animal from moving, so they decided it was the opportune time to stand in one spot for 30 minutes to try out their new instant camera.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes: too simple to know how not to severely damage their transportation, but not too simple for camera operation. Some people are just more technically inclined.
