I was just thinking about putting my feeder out this weekend so I could watch them. Aren't they simply amazing?

They are the most amazing little creatures ever created.

I used to wear a red hair clip that really attracted the hummingbirds. They sound like a helicopter when they hover right by your ear.

Try it! They will get pretty close before deciding you aren't a flower.

WOW, cool BNM!
I dunno, those suckers can be kind of aggressive if you don't fill up the feeders, you know?
Lemme get off subject and tell you another story. I have 110 acres and a second home. It's really rural and totally beautiful. Anyway, hubby and one of his friends were turkey hunting in a blind and up comes this creature which was an EMU!!! As you know we live in WV and emu's are not native. Matter of fact, hubby's friend said OMG, look at that big chicken (I'm not making this up)
We didn't even know what it was until we found out someone had raised them about 30 miles away and they travel. But that Emu stayed there all summer and I'd mow grass on my cub cadet mower which...

I have to say it is a little unnerving when a hummingbird sneaks up on me. However, your emu experience would have really really scared me.

Big chicken! Hahahahaha.

OH GOSH!

Debby, shoot it! Emu steaks are awesome. Think of a tri-tip steak that tastes like a tender cross between beef and duck.

I am currently looking for a website for you on how to field dress an emu... (will clip it if I have any luck.)

It may get messy, but trust me, it's worth it!

Actually, "Crocks" and Kangaroos also tastes great.

My rule: any animal i see that comes from Australia dies on the spot. They're normally mean spirited sons of guns, and they pretty much all taste great.

You know what OW? I suspect someone did eat it, OMG, this is WV!!! It wasn't me though . . .

No I'm serrious, I will kill and eat any strange flightless animal from Australia.

And yes, in case you were wondering, Paul Hogan was delicious.

Now that you mention it, I suppose the brain damage you guys did when you hit it on the head with a shovel left poor little Billy the Orphan Emu to wander aimlessly as a babbling idiot until some of the fabled racist Hilary-supporting rednecks you guys have in WV put it out of it's misery. ;-P

Yeah and they probably served up the dish along side the contemplation of an incestuous after dinner party

Yeah, the end wasn't pretty for poor Billy the now mentally-handicapped and sexually frustrated orphan emu...

"Hey, that Emu's got a real pretty mouth on him, don't he?"
"Actually, Cletus, I thank it's a beak..."

"You may be a large, flightless Australian bird related to and resembling the ostrich and the cassowary, but I'm gonna make you squeal like a pig!"

I hear this every time I drive past my neighbors Ow:

No shit.

BTW, how did my nice little clip about hummingbirds turn into this, hahahahaha!

Hummingbirds make cute stories. But an edible big bird running around, that's just fun.
5-17-2008 12:07 PM

lets see, how did we get here?

1. Hummingbirds are birds found in West Virgina...

2. Emus are also birds apparently now found in West Virgina...

3. Therefore, obviously, a feral Emu foraging on Debby's property took a deviant sexual interest in her lawn mower.

4. This led me to share my gastronomical love of Emu steak, with the added benefit that the process of creating Emu steak normally makes dead these foul-tempered walking perversions of all things avian.

5. I am subsequently reminded of my rapacious appetite for all things Australian.

6. Debby was in due course reminded that she in fact lives in West Virgina where people are enthusiastic hunters of everything from road-kill up to ...

Oh, and I forgot to mention the part where I implied that I killed and ate Crocodile Dundee. That was some good times!

OMG OW,
I'm laughing so hard now my sides are splitting! We must get drunk together one day. My God Almighty I do believe besides me there are only about three other bisexuals in the good old state of WV so it should be interesting don't you think?

Well, let me think this over...

In looking back on it, the picture of West Virgina that I get from this clip (and from the recent news) is...

A land of racist, Hillary-supporting, varmint-hunting, emu-ranching, alcoholic rednecks, who - when not busy brutalizing another one of god's poor flightless creatures - habitually indulge in the most shocking forms of incest, sodomy, and bestiality.

I have to wonder: did you guys legalize gay marriage or something? Because I've heard that's the only thing terrible enough that could cause all of this deviant kinda stuff.

But does it sound like a good party? You bet! Count me in! (If you can't beat'em, join'em!)

No offense intended of course. I have myself been accused of:

...racism (acquitted by all-white jury),
...emu-ranching (guilty!),
...varmint-hunting (co-defendant was Mitt Romney),
...alcoholism, incest sodomy and bestiality (not guilty, depending on the meaning of the word "is")

So that is all merely in good fun.

On the other hand, I have never been accused of being a Hillary supporter, and I certainly could see how that could cross a line. If I offended anyone by blindly characterizing the people of West Virginia as supporting Hillary Clinton, I can only offer my most sincere apologies.

YUP!

Damn straight sugar This chicki may be the only bi girl for miles and miles, but the rest of the crowd is only about as straight as the next shot of alcohol
