Shoplifter! The Mail does it again with a story on a Doritos-stealing bird.

The images are blurry because they're reduced from a security cam.

Apparently he only steals one kind: Chilli Heatwave Doritos.

I dunno, I think the neatest part of the story is that the gull has learned to let the other birds help to open the bag. He can't do it himself, so he has to get help, and then he has to share. He's saying it's OK to steal with humans, but with other fowl you must cooperate and allot earnings... it's only fair.

he's slumming though--the "friends" are pigeons

Sure, everyone thinks it's cute for one seagull to get chips for the whole bird gang. Just you wait, though, until it starts getting alcohol for those underage birds. Then we'll see who still thinks it's cute.

Must have been the Quickie Mart

Another reason I love birds. How funny is this?

Now, if they could just figure out how to steal some Salsa, I might join them.

Yeah, run by Mr. Nag.....Naga........Na..Not-Gonna-Work-Here-Any-More! (Damn, I love "Office Space")

Finally I know why my favorite Doritos are always sold out now. Damn them!

I love Office Space too. I was just talking about that. My niece, who just turned 5, had a birthday party with a pinata. The kids took their turns. After the damn thing finally fell, I looked over and Sophie (who is the complete opposite of her athletic older sister, all blond and princessy) was beating the hell out of it. I told my bro it reminded me of Office Space when the take the printer out and beat the crap out of it. Mike replies "What the f*** is PC Load Letter?"

Slumming?! Gulls are just beach pigeons! They hang about garbage dumps, and star in movies where they pluck peoples eyes out!!!

Pigeons meanwhile are actually doves.

Hee... one time when my family went to the beach, my dad (a pretty big guy) walked over to Thrasher's to get us a bucket of fries, and on the way back to the rest of us, a seagull flew smack into the back of his head, then grabbed one of the fries out of the bucket while he was stunned. :D Seagulls are relentless when it comes to delicious snack food -- although personally, I'd take Thrasher's fries over Doritos any day.

I think this seagull used to be a human but he did something awful so and evil sourcerer turned him into the bird. And the reason why the seagull likes these chips so much and goes great lengths to get them is because he loved them when he was human and knew where he could go to get them.

Ha. Yep.

I'm surprised Doritos hasn't signed the bird to a contract.

What would Tippi Hedren say?

:lol:

So true!! Bring in good cameras and do it right! I think it would be a hit.


I ate on our local wharf tonight (Damn fine Shrimp Louie smothered in Tabasco Sauce). Sitting right out side the window like 18 inches away was a Seagull that went into a tizzy every time someone walked by. Then another one came over and hopped up amazingly violating the the original one's personal space. (Believe me, seagulls have serious personal space issues!) The original hopped down and walked over to a bench which it hopped up on and kicked back. I started to comment on the odd behavior when the people at the next table said, "There's a baby one sitting right here." Sure enough it was momma and papa taking turns being on lookout. When we left we walked by,(at a distance), and there was a grey baby weaving about.

How come everybody is OK with feeding this Dinosaur descendant, but the guy feeding the bears is a jerk?

Bears can kill you. Food entices.

Ah, sometimes the cuddly old teddy bears just want a quick (non-human) bite or drink...:D............

So can Gulls.

Especially when they're Marxists.

Don't worry though. I hear the CIA is recruiting chickenhawks for a little 'extreme rendition'.

Because the crafty gull is shoplifting, as opposed to being hand-fed.
It's capitalism vs socialism :)

Ha ha ha, excellent, Sundae Girl.

Sundae Gull

I just walked out to the kitchen and there were about a dozen magpies waiting on the deck, watching me through the sliding door, so I had to feed them some corn chips.

Hahahaha....hahahah...k, that really made me laugh.

I'm sending Ranger Rick up there to give you a severe scolding.

1~Interfering with the natural order of things.
2~Contributing to the delinquency of Magpie minors.
3~Denigrating the diets of Dinosaur descendants.
4~Feeding corn chips to tidings of magpies without posting pictures.

Oh boy, are you gonna get it now.

Isn't Ranger Rick a raccoon? I hear he takes corn chip bribes.

Ranger Rick doesn't need to bother. The magpies are already scolding me (magpies can talk - these do, anyway). Also, the more I feed them, the more they poop on my car and deck furniture.

I should clarify - I gave them tortilla chips (which are a kind of corn chip, but they don't give the magpies dorito breath). And no salsa.

Your #3 should be posted in the good assonance thread.

That bear is gonna rot his teeth!!

Paper Cartridge Load Letter

and now the squirrels are making 5-fingered purchases

After it eats the chocolate egg, it leaves with the plastic yolk containing the toy? Well of course... it takes me ten minutes to open those things and I'm smarter than the average squirrel.

This story is verified by Snopes, accompanied by a nice anigif and video.

We looked up from the kitchen table yesterday because of a noise. There was a coal black squirrel in our dining room hiding a walnut in a tennis shoe. So this animal wasn't stealing he was giving!

Ha! He sneaks in, looking all around to see if the coast is clear, then when he grabs them he just hauls ass!

Now all we need is for Brianna to analyze the look on his face.
