goofy stuff

The Lovely Wife sent me a story about how her parents had been experiencing a noise in their chimney which they thought was bats. Bats in their bellfry, so to speak. Turns out the noise was the chirping of baby birds...endangered baby birds, which they can take no action to remove. She thought it sounded like an episode of Family Guy.

I told her that if it were Family Guy, her dad would have gotten a temp job with the department of wildlife in order to get closer to nature, until he burned down some wetlands in an attempt to warm the endangered birds' parents.

Even better: the birds actually left of their own accord, and her folks put in a bird-proofing cap to their chimney. Now, every night as they try to sleep, all they can hear is the KER-FLANG of small birds flying into the metallic structure blocking their entry point.

Tell Seth McFarlane I'm right here...
