Pigeons: noble species or flying wizards of Satan?
I bring this courtesy of the same friend who provided the pie wank. This one isn't really wank, but I don't think there's an OTF_snark comm, and it's too funny not to post.
A story is posted in the Surrey Comet about Kingston's intention of having marksmen cull the pigeon population. Almost immediately, the discussion in the comments becomes hyperbolic:
Pigeons carry all manner of diseases like AIDS, malaria, rabies and mad cow disease to name but a few. They are also very aggressive and I can vouch for this as I was attacked by a flock and pecked severely while on my way home from flower arranging classes. In fact I would be more than happy to help in the killing of these evil creatures.
The next comment declares them "flying wizards of Satan" and the discussion really takes off:
I myself was raised by pigeons after being abandoned in Trafalgar Square as a young nipper. Therefore I know how noble and generous a species they really are.
I know what you mean, reader. I was raised by yaks but I'm sure the experience was similar. How about a council worker cull instead.
My elder sister was held captive for nine days by a flock of rock pigeons on a small island near Malta in 1979 - it may have been Gozo but I'm not too sure. (Sorry about that.) As you might gather she suffers from nightmares and flashbacks but she has also developed a loathing of millet seeds for some strange reason. She is in full support of the cull and, in actual fact, she has already applied for the job and fully intends to carry out her duties as soon as possible - whether she gets the job or not. Be careful around town folks - she's not a good shot.
Posted by: yeltsin Dont worry. we have ways of dealing with pigeons who have defecated from the KGB. we have booked with BA already.
There are too many gems in the comments to quote them all. There is a feeble attempt at wank by one or two posters apparently serious about the issue, but it is quickly drowned out by lists of imaginative ways to cull pigeons, Mrs. Dallinger's OT efforts to understand her new email account, and Monty Python references. Oh, and the squirrel population weighs in.
