Unfortunately I can't see what appeals to your inner bird (didn't even know you owned one) because the video wouldn't load. You know the golden teeth is not a sign of beauty for these "country" people but a sign of being rich ! They don't trust banks ! Really that still exists ! Don't forget they were locked into another world for decades ! First the tsars then the communists.
lol .. poor hapless penguin .. or confused penguin .. it was trying to use it's wings. that's so cute. i must not have an inner bird in me. i think i'd be afraid up there. i do get the video though. my uncle in germany once won with his lottery ticket .. a couple of german marks, if i remember correctly. i remember benefiting from that since i was the recipient of that money which was enough to buy a couple of candy bars.
That is a very strange commercial indeed. Do you think flightless birds would really be thrilled to finally be able to fly or would they just be freaked out at being strapped to a human and that high from the ground? Is it anthropomorphizing too much to think all birds want to fly? I just don't know. If only we could peer into their little bird brains and see what they're thinking. It's a cute commercial, though:o)
Me neither, Im not really inspired to get a lottery ticket. But I did love the fact they used flightless birds and gave them the chance to take wing....
OMG...I LOVED THAT!! I was thinking, watching the chicken, that these guys would REALLY be something if they...OMG...YES...OSTRICH! SCORE!!!
Great - put a great big smile on my face. I think it was the flapping penguin that sent me over the edge.

That appealed to my inner bird as well. I think my eyes misted watching those birds look around. Especially the penguin with his little wings spread out just so.

I saw this the other night and found it amusing. I love the look on the penguin and chicken's faces.
When there is an inversion and the fog rolls into a shivery valley it is both dangerous and breathtaking. Walking on the gravelly path seems stable, but even the small twigs that stick up around the edges grab onto the moisture and create little artistic ice crystals. a male house finch adds a spot of color! After a few days of this wintery chill, a warm Chinook wind blew in. It was probably pushed ahead of what the weatherman called an "atmospheric river" which drenched the west siders way beyond seasonal norms. It is forecast that Christmas will be warm and no white stuff falling. At least not here. **** May there be moments of peace and hope in your hearts as you celebrate this holiday. Hug each other. Feed the birds ****
Our Fun Monday Host this week is Molly, Return of the White Robin . She requested that we share a fond memory of childhood and some pictures. There are very few pictures of my childhood. There are, however, many memories. Little snippets of sounds and smells raced through my mind today as I tried to find a trail to follow. I jotted down many that I hoped would provide me with an idea for today's assignment. Then, I realized that these little bits and pieces are part of the jig saw puzzle of me -- of who I am. You don't have to put them together, but I think you'll see the picture. Childhood Memories The chorus of frogs from the pond in the lower pasture that lulled us to sleep on warm summer nights. Catching polliwogs in the creek that disappeared several pastures over into a foliage camouflaged ravine. The distinct sweet smell of new born kittens inside a barrel in the fruit house The hunt for the elusive Tiger Lily in the open fields, and the pungent s...
Quirky Lisa (Lisa's Chaos) is today's Hostess with the mostess quirks. She used the following instructions to enlighten us about today's topic: A quirk is defined as a peculiarity of action, behavior, or personality; mannerism. We are all unique individuals, having quirks that help make us who we are. I would like to know what your quirks are. Confess to one, confess to ten, you decide. Just come back Monday ready to spill the beans, the rest of the world may look at you like you are from Mars, but you‘re among friends here. We won’t laugh, in fact that eccentricity just may endear you to us more. Well ...I'm being as quirky as Swampwitch today. I'm sorta following the rules, and sorta not. Instead of hearing about my boring quirkiness, you are being treated to an old story about a quirky cat. * * * * Daggett was a cat with very odd behavior. I like to think she channeled my monthly mood swings. But, her excuse may be that her head was slightly injured in a c...
