birds of a feather...

unless you are a bird who does not loves water or is cute or comes in fancy colors then you must be shunned.


The members of the Maritime Suburban Yacht, Country Club and Spa form the highest level of the social elite on 134 Palm Tree Lane. Candidates must meet the exacting standards of  MSYCCS and be involved in water sports and/or water activities. Beauty and fun colors are also taken into consideration.

Diane of Loess is More submits:

"don't look at him children, we... as a rule... do not mix with cactus dwellers. It simply is NOT done"

Score
  • Two flingo-flingos unable to make eye contact with shunned owl: 2 points
  • Mother duck and matriarch of the MSYCCS: 1 point
  • Baby ducks and junior members: 2 points
  • Turtle (he  had family connections and plays a mean game of water polo): 1 point
  • Lonely owl: 1 point
Subtotal: 7 points

Creativity Bonus

For the elitist club members (never mind that they cannot afford as a club to put in a pool): 2 points

Total: 9 points

Former member removed for reasons undisclosed:
Herman can be found at La Redneck Yacht Club ... it's a better fit

  4. Biologist lady thinks he is a walrus, I think it could also be a elephant seal.

  5. Frankly, I think I can make it through the rest of my day not knowing. Also, not looking at the pic again. First nekkid man-bowlers and now this? Your are rising to the exalted heights of depravity.

    I like it :)

    Re: The Yard Art

    I would rather think that the owl is deciding which of the colorful birds he will be dining on once it hits dusk. What do you want to bet that yesterday, mother ducky had THREE little ducklings? He'll probably eat the turtle last because it is slow and can't get away once it realizes what is happening. The flamingos are going to be his biggest challenge. I would advise him to go for the eyes.

  6. redgirk, Wow, I have reach a new low... why thank you.

    Next time I need to train a killer, I am sending him over to you.

    ReplyDelete
  7. I'm glad you noticed that it is only men I'd be training...

    ReplyDelete
  8. redgirl (got the spelling correct that time) as a general rule, women don't need training.

  9. As with the black widow, the preying mantis, the deep sea angler--- oh. my. hold the presses. Could it be??? In the wild, females are generally the more dangerous, so how come historic mankind sees us as "elegant ladies, delicate flow'rs"?

    ReplyDelete
  10. Don't forget the lioness, who is more elegant than her male counterpart.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Indeed. Do you see yourself of the lioness? The black widow who kills her husband, the mantis who eats hers, or the deep sea angler who basically absorbs him?

  12. btw, you might want to check the very last line of your previous post :P

  13. redgirl, I see myself as the girl seahorse, who has her husband carry and raise the babies while she goes to the spa.

    Thank you for the heads up on the typo. I need an editor... and a minion...or two.

    ReplyDelete
  14. True...the seahorse seems to have it down. Much better than the honey bee.

    You will always have minions. When you croak and we unfurl the death flag that "has you covered", even on your tombstone it will read: Minions. She had them in spades.

  15. "sniff" that is soooo beautiful

  16. I am the eggman, they are the eggmen.
    I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob.

    ReplyDelete
  17. And then we would come decorate your grave with the travelocity gnome, maggotty dolls and decorative rocks. Which we would then score and give points for.

    ReplyDelete
  18. diane, he needs to put his goo goo g'joob away.

    ReplyDelete
  19. redgirl, I'll let my family know about your arrangements. Please make sure the manatee seal is etched in the grave stone (which would give you another point).

    ReplyDelete
  20. your obit would be fun to write

    ReplyDelete
  21. Oh, my God! This walrus or whatever image will forever replace the one of the baby elephant I saw digging for a snack from its mother's butt at the San Francisco zoo many years ago!!!

    LH, do I even want to know why he's covered in pink?

    ReplyDelete
  22. Mom L, thank you for the image that you so lovingly placed in my head.

    I can only guess that pink is a happy color for a walrus/seal type ugly thing.

    ReplyDelete
  23. I concentrate on real life responsibilities for just a few days and I've already missed two posts!

    I like Herman. He needs to learn how to pose is all.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Herman is not too photogenic. He needs a publicity manager.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Very colorful Yard Art, even if there are some social snobbery issues going on.

    Herman is um, well, happy, I guess.

    ReplyDelete
  26. I wonder if his feet are as long as they are wide?

    ReplyDelete
  27. Looks like some family-friendly fun. (The last photo).

    ReplyDelete
  28. He's just jealous of the hot pink colors.

  29. So, I'm guessing that is not his belly button?
