call of the birds

Remember that loony cuckoo bird? Well, it’s at it again. Not too sure if it’s the same cuckoo bird but it’s definitely making hell lot of a commotion. This time, it hooted from midnight till the time I got myself ready for work…

I wasn’t sure what was it hooting about. Maybe it’s the mating season, where hollering was part of the ritual to attract the opposite sex (hey, if only that works on humans as well…). Or maybe that bird was playing as messenger of death, sending us a grim reminder about the impending threat of bird flu…

HOOT HOOT - translated as “You’re all gonna die of bird flu…muahahahah”

Silly jokes aside, the long hooting of that bird DID remind me of the recent unnerving development of the deadly avian flu. Flocks of pathogenic migratory birds… they’re flying everywhere to fuck everybody up with their disease laden body …. and us puny humans below them struggling to save our asses up. Goddamn.

But perhaps, that isn’t the real threat we should be afraid of. It’s something else. Just look what has been happening for the past few years. We kept seeing these new hybrid of super diseases spawning from animals - pigs, cows, civet cats… and now the birds. It’s a matter of time before household lizards have their own version of super diseases… no shit! The Mother Nature want us dead! in a way or another…

And all these, I believe, were stemmed from our very own ignorance towards the law of nature. I think this is karma balancing itself out on a large scale. These would be the price we pay for

- having sex with animals
- cutting up Mother Nature’s pubic hair (trees)
- eating things we aren’t supposed to eat
- tweaking the codes of life
- screwing up the ecosystem
- listening to Pussycat Dolls & Vengaboys

Our occupancy on this planet is fast approaching the end and we have to do something about it. We will be put through a test of time to battle against our very own existence… whether or not we will prevail, only time will tell.

But until that happens, I think we should all do our bit to allay our fears against these microscopic adversary of our’s. So, let’s all grab a slingshot and shoot a bird today. [it's a good means to vent our frustration over the recent fuel price hike, so... why not?]

Marilah kita berkempen untuk melastik burung hari ini…

May god bless you bird loving fuckers out there. Eat more oranges.

    We have Canadian geese at the company golf course.
    They promised that if they don’t migrate soon, we can hunt them.

    I lost my lastik (I think?) Even if I managed to find it, I will not use it as it might break and kill myself in the process.

    So president Michael, can I use my natural catapult instead? It can shoot far and accurately everytime. Beside shooting birds it can be use for cats too…..

    Those Canada geese are super annoying. Green shit all over the place in spring. I keep telling myself, if these stupid consumerist Americans were as resourceful as people back home, we’d be having roast goose. Yum.

  7. Yin says:

    Yeah, Mega. I totally agree.

    Walking through any city in the American Northeast, you’ll be assaulted by pigeons and squirrels. Back home, they’d all be eaten! lol!

    Michael, can you send me a lizard? :) pleeeaaase?
    On second thought… I’m picturing getting a brown-paper package with a dead lizard in it… eh… never mind.
