Birds
This whole “being a bird” thing is a real cushy gig. Three squares a day, nice cage, and I pretty much have these humans eating from the palm of my hand.
I don’t even have to fly anymore. I just hop in someone’s shirt, and away I go!
And best of all, I get lots and lots of cuddle breaks!
Do you have any vacancies, Rachel M.?

By a wide, floofy margin, the Impossibirds was the most popular post of the week. [audience clapping sound]
They pecked at your heartstrings with their tiny McBeakersons. Their rounded, floofballs shape rolled straight into your soul. They deserve MORE COVERAGE ON THIS BLOG!
To that end: LONG-TAILED-TIT-HANCE!

Ladies and gentlemen, this just might be the cutest darn thing on the entire Intertubes: Four impossibly cute, perfectly perched, flying floofballs!

The results of your tests are back, Mrs. Penny, and I’m afraid those two growths are actually … extra heads. There’s no medically sane reason why this should be happening, but unless we operate now, one of them could take over within weeks.

For the bird of refined tastes, a glorious afternoon’s cracker-tasting is one of life’s most sumptuous pleasures. The heady aroma of the wheat, the piquant delight of the perfectly roasted sesame seed — these infuse the soul with inspiration.
Having said this, it must be confessed that the standard concoction of flour and salt possesses a consistency as dry as one’s own Rabelaisian wit. So one must rejuvenate the palate between courses and ready it for the wonders yet to come.
While many of my colleagues are partial to a mild sorbet for this purpose, I prefer going straight to the source: Nature’s bounty, in this case, a succulent strawberry. The juice should not be too tart; we wish to cleanse the palate, not strip-mine it.
Also, an attendant with a napkin is usually advisable at this stage…

Please locate the closest exit under each wing. In the event of a water landing, I am a flotation device.
