The Duck Painting Catastrophe - #670

Can’t wait for RT Podcast

36:22 Gavin brought up the "slow iphone start up" conversation once before on RT Post Show #371 time stamp 23:25

I'll never forgot the baboons consistently vandalizing the cars that went through their exhibit at the old drive through zoo at Six Flags Great Adventure. Every time we drove through that they'd sit all over the car and would rip something, like a windshield wiper or antenna, off of the car and run off with it. We'd see it happen to the cars around us too. Unsurprisingly they stopped letting cars drive through that exhibit.

At about the 18 minute mark, Andrew says, "In San Antonio"....and I totally heard, "Insane Antonio"...I immediately wanted to know more about this character.

Andrew's story about his carnival injustice reminded me of my first injustice, as an approximately 5 or 6 year-old child, in the early 90's...Literally almost everyone was the red power ranger for Halloween (as was I) and this crotchety old woman berated me at her front door while trick-or-treating. After giving my friends their candy, she looked at me, narrowed her eyes in disgust, and yelled at me that I had been to her house and taken candy three times already. Not only that, she then continued to tell me what an awful, spiteful little brat I was; all while I was just confused and sad that everyone got candy except for me and I was now, for some reason, being told how horrible I was. ...I didn't like that woman...

interesting. I think ducks and geese look very expressive

Darkplace is also available on Amazon Prime

When Gav mentioned crows getting debit cards it reminded me of something weird. Years back my mum and dad tried to get an overdraft on their account but were refused. Shortly after their identity was stolen and the identity thieves managed to get the overdraft (£500 I think it was) and spent it. My parents got their money back and still have the overdraft to this day. In the end they were quite happy about the problem. Mental that a thief can do more with your accounts than real you can though.

try buying FFXIV, most cumbersome game purchase experience ever

I think every company should use Uber's rating system for their employees. To be fair people should also be paid more.

Lol Andrew's comment on how challenging it is to give a duck expression immediately reminded me of Quint's monologue in Jaws. "... lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eyes."

Having known a grey parrot, they're smart enough to fuck with you -- when my ex was 13 or so, the parrot that he brought to live with us when we were together once cussed in his voice, his mom yelled at him "WHAT DID YOU SAY?" and my future bf came out of his room at the far end of the house all confused. And then they both looked at the birdcage. The bird was GIGGLING because he'd pulled one over on the mammals. Also when we lived together, the birb would imitate my clearing my throat when I was out of town to creep him out.
