Wow, what exactly do you do with Ostriches anyway? I mean, when you're not chasing them around town... Can you eat their eggs or something?

raggie33 -

Beware. Ostriches can kick like hect.

Let me get this straight. It's Saturday night and you're trying to round up one dozen newly purchased ostriches, some of which are terrorizing your neighborhood. You sure you haven't had a couple of cocktails and your chickens got loose?

From Young Guns after an evening of peyote/inner searching, "Dirty Steve" Stephens: "Dog, did you see the size of that chicken?"


Of all your posts, this has got to be the best ever.

OH SWEET JESUS! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hahaha.gif

God, I laughed for a good fifteen minutes imagining this situation. I could imagine myself in your shoes, except that after I jumped on the ostrich, I wouldn't be lucky enough to fall off... It would drag me until it got very angry, then start kicking and pecking at me, and otherwise beating me into ostrich-submission.

[/ QUOTE ]That's a given. But how about if you keep them at home? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Ooooo! I kill myself sometimes.

OK, so you can't keep them... do you even HAVE them again?

Oh, this is TOO funny Raggie... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinser2.gif Thanks for making my evening!

I hope that you and the birds are ok. What happens now if you're not allowed to keep them in the city? Donate them to a local zoo?

Me too! This is too funny, Raggie. Well done indeed. You have a gift. Excellent stuff. It reminds me of a scene from a Tom Sharp book (he's really big in the UK, I'm told). I'm pretty sure it's from his book "Riotous Assembly". I think that's it. His first book, at any rate, about the brutality and stupidity of the South African police. Hard to imagine that being funny, huh? Anyway, it is. The chief of police is a real idiot and he imagines there are lots of communists in the city, so he sends out a dozen undercover agents to try to infiltrate the communists, but they don't know of each other's existence so they are all reporting on this communist activity which is really just other undercover agents trying to lure each other into doing something illegal. So they settle (somehow) on blowing up a dam or bridge or something, and they decide to do it by putting plastic explosives w/timer dentonators in condoms (these always show up in Tom Sharp books), coating the condoms with honey and popcorn, and feeding them to--you guessed it--ostriches. They prepare a trail of popcorn leading to the dam, but the ostriches are smarter than that. They figure that their real meal ticket is with these nice people who fed them honey and popcorn. So the undercover police agents all start frantically trying to get away from the ostriches before they explode. So you've got this absurd and outrageous scene of people running from exploding ostriches, and yes, they can run very fast. I assure you that in the book this is quite funny, however poorly I am putting it across at the moment.

But I think raggies story is even funnier. Have you ever thought of being a professional comedian, raggie?

Agreed! Excellent funny post - Some of the best meat I've ever eaten was ostrich. Gotta be a bit pink though.

I was extremely surprised to see encounter a pride of ostrich while hunting drumlins on a university fieldtrip.
