Even the birds down here in Texas are different. You know how when you're driving down the street, and the birds in the street scatter and fly away when
they see/hear you coming? Here they just sit there stupidly while you run them over, horrified at the sudden flurry of feathers in the air.

They're obviously products of the Texas school system.
You do know you're going to have to anti-up for private school for your kid(s) if you want them to be able to read, don't you? |

Texas style tough birds would rather die than give up the road for you.

They weren't regular pigeons like I'm used to. They're rounder and slower, and they don't have that you-talkin-to-me glare of Yankee birds.
These ones are soft and fat and inappropriately friendly, like a kid with Down's.

"anti-up" is supposed to have an "e" in it, worstdog. At least that's what they taught me in Texas public schools.

Did you try honking? You have to honk. Here, there are small birds sitting all over the road (and dead bodies all over), if you don't honk they don't
move.

It was 6:30 in the morning, honking my horn in front of my neighbor's house isn't the best thing that comes to mind.
Running over it is like the definiton of "anti-up" for that poor dead birdie. |

You could have gotten out of the car and flapped your skirt to shoo the birdie out of the way. That's what I, Dian Fussey, would have done.
It's not too late to put down the

Shag is probably killing off endangered birds. She is NOT a friend of the animals.

"Anti-up" is something that happens when Councilor Troy comes out on stage at the convention in her underwear.

It occurred to me that they might be doves. I didn't get a great look before I ran it over, but it definitely didn't look like a pigeon. I just call
every bird in the street a pigeon.
Or she could just be wearing her season one cameltoe-displaying outfit. Clearly there is a woman who waxes. |

"Crushed Doves" might not be a good name for a Christian death metal band.

How about Shame-Flavored Wafer? Good for the band and a menu item!
