I have owls on my trashcan.

[Oedipus Tex]

I've had this trashcan for about 5 months now, and not once have I noticed that there are owls on it.

Now, most of the time, the owls are covered up, because I use trashbags that are too big to line it, but still - these are large, creepy-looking owls, 2 of them. I think they're Great Horned Owls.

Weird.

Painted?

 

[Annihilus]

Weird.

...uhh...yeah....

Then again, you are British and live in Texas...

 

[Oedipus Tex]

I'm quite sure I never purchased a trashcan with owls on it. And seeing as how I live alone.

Actually, this is pretty puzzling. I got the trashcan as an "I'm moving out of my place, take all my old crap" present from a friend, but how could I have missed the owls?

great. a birdwatcher's thread.

I'm no birdwatcher. I think they are great horned owls just because of the tufts that look like ears. Isn't that supposed to be the givaway? I thought it was.

It's just weird that I never have noticed them until now.

Obviously: 1) I'm normally pretty busy, too busy to notice, and 2) I'm having a very slow, low productivity sort of day.

It's better than having a thread about monkeys with red asses.

Then again...

Do you have anything like that in your domicile Oed?

Not that I know of, but after this revelation, I hesitate to speak with authority on what I do or do not have in my domicile.

Thank you for a genuine laugh out loud moment.




"Yellow," thought Arthur.

 

[Hawg73]

Do they look like they could be sisters?

"Yellow," thought Arthur.

Oddly enough, the only thought that the bowl of petunias had was "Oh no, not again."

 

[Oedipus Tex]

Do they look like they could be sisters?

If so, there's a big age spread. Maybe half-sisters from a April/September second marriage. My money is on parent child, though.

That's why I laughed out loud. Your statement could have been written by Douglas Adams. Love that kind of humour.

"Prepare for the jump to hyperspace," said Zaphod, "it's unpleasantly like being drunk."

"What's so unpleasant about being drunk?" asked Arthur.

"Just ask a glass of water."

If a chicken takes a day to lay an egg, how long does it take for a monkey with a wooden leg to kick the seeds out of a dill pickle?
