We beef lovers owe that seagull a debt of gratitude. Those in the ocean, I am deeply sorry. That was unkind.

“Halfway to Tierra Del Fuego, Henry.”

I can’t believe somebody is getting rich selling such crap to people!

Do gulls snatch things with their feet?

Lucky me—I have a food intolerance to these things! :-)

It went skinny dipping.

I went to a memorial service and the meal afterwards. They served BBQ “meatballs” and I had to be told they were vegetarian. I couldn’t tell the difference. That’s saying alot since my wife calls me a carnivore.

(Sam Elliot’s voice) “Veggie burgers. It’s what’s NOT for dinner.”

If its not made from beef, it is not a burger

Don’t worry, Henry. You can rest assured it wasn’t Louie!

Good morning Crew!

Decades ago, when veggie burgers were in their infancy and still terrible, I had almost this exact event happen. I was at a cookout at the shore, and a veggie burger accidentally slipped into the coals and got charred. I threw the half burned patty out into a parking lot for the gulls to eat. They wouldn’t. It was still there several days later when it was time to head home.

But times have changed, and there are now some very good vegetarian burger options.

At a BBQ, Son was cleaning off the grill (from over hot coals). Down swooped a pigeon, landed on the coals, no doubt thinking he was entering a bird bath. What ensued was not good, but he did (finally) manage to fly away to a nearby roof where his mate was waiting. They sat there while he tried to walk on his poor little burned feet. They finally flew away. We were all mortified but releaved to see he lived. For how long I always wondered.

I don’t eat the food my food eats . . .

Here you go Henry, here’s where to get another one….. https://www.gocomics.com/offthemark/2018/05/28

I’m with you on this one, Louie.

Good Evening, Crew.
