At one point, my name had appeared in every section of the Washington Post except sports. I figured that the only way I’d get my name there is if I were to find Mike Tyson and kick him in an especially sensitive spot. Except, with my luck, the article would read “unidentified local woman beaten into what looks like a pile of mashed potatoes”.
What’s that coming out of Apteryx’s rear? Jetting gases? Did he eat some flatulent-laden bird feed? I guess Grog got him up to proper cruising elevation and velocity for his rear “jet” to kick in.

At least for a short flight. Airspeed dropping, we are losing altitude.

A man’s (hairy apteryx in this case) reach should exceed his grasp, or what’s a heaven for.

Grog seems to be more fond of snakes. Or one snake at least. Wonder what would happen if the Eatanter zottes Grogs fur.

I’m learning to fly, but I ain’t got wings. Coming down is the hardest thing.

His flying is a little wobbly… maybe, it was from too much grog?
