We’ve gained notoriety,And caused much anxietyIn the Audubon societyWith our games.They call it impiety,And lack of propriety,And quite a varietyOf unpleasant names.
But it’s not against any religionTo want to dispose of a pigeon.
Pigeons on the grass alas. Pigeons on the grass alas. Short longer grass short longer longer shorter yellow grass. Pigeonslarge pigeons on the shorter longer yellow grass alas pigeons on thegrass. If they were not pigeons what were they. (et cet.)

It’s “The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy” and he was more(and less) than a friend. They won a contest with him that makes him their eternal slave.
Loved that cartoon :)

Always someone to buy off; unable to see beyond the green.And the old game goes on as usual. A devil may care, not yet.

I prefer the Norse Goddess of Death, Hel; cold, but beautiful.
Isn’t it strange that in spite of 2000 years of Christians saying Heaven is such a great place of peace and joy, almost all of them still dread dying?
