GREAT Googly Moogly, WHAT Was THAT?!!

[Unperson 309]

Ok, the Missus had the car and was out until 12:13 in the morning. She got home, parked the car under the tree. Didn't report anything unusual.

We didn't HEAR anything that sounded like a condor or 500 lb canary...

We went out at noon to go shopping. WHAT THA---------?!?!?! The branches of that tree aren't BIG enough to hold whatever produced THAT! DAY-UMMM! Check the entire image. There are six splats, seven if you count the top of the door handle! Door, top of car, handle, back window... the avian version of the St. Valentine's Day Massacre.

It was all done in one... "go", as it were... Anyone have any theories? Can Cheney fly? Jesus!

1. From personal experience I'd say seagull

They can do some serious damage in this way.

Yuck.

4. We're several hundred miles inland.

Of course, a sufficiently pissed off gull could "hold it" long enough to really build up a head of steam!

I think grackles might be a possibility, since we're closer to texas than to the ocean.

And we *just* had the flivver repainted two months ago. Fortunately it had a nice thick, hard wax job recently and the poop hosed off nicely. No damage.

6. I have no idea what a grackle is

We don't have them here in Seattle, I don't think. And I suppose I'm glad, after seeing this pic!:D

Here's a scary story, though. In college, one of my friends was running late to a final when a seagull crapped on her head ... eeeuuuuuwwww....:puke: She literally had no time to do anything more than wipe her head off with Kleenex. :P

2. Grackles!

Fairly large black birds that like to travel in groups. We have them here in Texas. You have to watch where you park your car when they are around. Better wash it quick. That stuff turns into cement

[Unperson 309]

5. Probably Grackles, yeah.

since we're in the Southwest.

The stuff hadn't been ON the car last night. Since birds tend to fly only during the day, we were probably 'hit' sometime between sunrise and noon.

The Missus has a fairly clean mouth. She doesn't swear *nearly* as much as I do. When she got to the driver side of the car, she said "Ohhh, sh...... uhhh..." and I laughed at her. "Honey," I told her, "If there was EVER an appropriate moment to say 'shit' it's NOW!"


It hosed off well, no paint damage. There was another splat on the other side of the car, also.

Anybody have a good recipe for grackle? :9

7. Could be Geese.

We get hit every night around dusk. They go from the lake to the field where they nest every night at the same time. And it is gross. Looks very similar.

8. I Can't Explain It

Now, if I had my old Triumph or MB convertabiles....

9. "Great Googly Moogly"

Where have I heard that before?
I know I have... A movie or TV show, but I just can't remember.

[Donkeyboy75]

12. A guy from a Snickers commercial

after he painted the end zone with "Chefs" instead of "Chiefs"

[Mojambo]

13. Thank you!

I would have ended up wracking my brain for weeks!

[Donkeyboy75]

14. Hey! I lied! I edited my post above.

This is the real one.

Seinfeld said something different in his commercial, but I can't remember it exactly now.

:hi:

[Mojambo]

15. Boy, you're just messing with my head now aren't you?

Now I'm trying to figure out what Seinfeld said...
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

10. That's the new B-3 Stealth Bomber testing dud rounds

The real ones are next, be afraid.

11. Flock o Ducks

Definately. Seen this before. Flock of ducks goes flying by and a lil precision bombing and there goes your paint job.

16. Gulls have done such things to my car when I've

parked under a telephone pole. Never again.
