[ARCHIVED THREAD] - I engaged a pigeon yesterday. He made a funny noise.

Posted: 7/19/2008 5:24:44 PM EDT

So I was walking to lunch yesterday afternoon through the streets of Philadelphia, when a pigeon suddenly EXPLODED into flight directly in front of my face. I'm talking RIGHT in front of me.

As most city dwellers know, urban pigeons couldn't care less about humans unless we are either feeding them or stepping directly on them. Otherwise, they walk around us, generally annoyed at our presence on their sidewalks.

Well, apparently this pigeon was in mortal fear for his life, and took to the sky just as I walked by.

Now, I'm not easily startled, but this little bastard swooped up so close to me, I thought I was going to lose the tip of my nose. So, I did what any red-blooded American man would. Before I could stop myself, I shot out a fist and slugged that greasy sky-rat right in his feathery gut.

He made a "Gu-looloolooloolooloo" sound, and wobbled in the air for a few yards before crash landing around the corner.

I was pretty embarrassed, and looked around to see if anyone was watching. In true Philly fashion, everyone in the near vicinity continued on, completely oblivious to the 6' dork who just went air-to-air with a pigeon.

Strangely, my mind didn't scream any commands at me, nor did I order my body to pivot to reduce its signature to a smaller profile, it was all over before I knew it.

Oh, man. That's why I never became a fighter pilot. I was afraid I'd end up with a lame callsign like "Doorknob", or "Noodle" or "VCR That Flashes 12:00 All The Time".

My boss needed to know the time.
He first looked at the union guy's wrist and saw that it was 10:30am.

I said it was 11:30am.

My boss looked back at the union guy and said "what the hell".

Union guys said "never learned how to change it with the spring forward shit. It'll be right again in a few months".

I about pissed my pants. The union guy was there on overtime, making more than $50 per hour.

The pigeons flying around the City are not great to eat but the ones in the country are great! Considerably larger than a dove so there is more meat. Good stuff!

In college we used to kick them on the green.

It was a hell of a test of speed but always hillarious.

I never had an issue with any of the squirrels on campus until one of the fuzzy little fuckers started throwing things at me every time he saw me. Little bastard would run up a tree or the side of a building and drop acorns or even rocks on me as I walked underneath.

Now I'm reading the squirrel snaring thread in survival so I can catch him and eat him. Seems fair to me. He's had just as long to learn how to develop a snare or firearm as I have.

Whenever they're on the ground in my path, I'll take a slow kick at them to scatter them. Never thought I'd ever connect with one.

Then one day, after class, I walked through the quad. As I walked through one group in front of a garbage can, I took a swipe at them.

The steel capped toe of my size 9.5 boot caught one square in the pooper, and she went head first into the side of a concrete garbage can.

After flopping and flapping around for a few seconds, it went about its business hunting for crumbs on the sidewalk again.
