Ladies and gentlemen, what we've seen speaks for itself. The city of new york has apparently been taken over -- 'conquered' if you will -- by a master race of giant sea gulls. It's difficult to tell from this vantage point whether they will consume the city or merely enslave it. One thing is for certain: there is no stopping them; the gulls will soon be here. And I for one welcome our new avian overlords. I'd like to remind them that as a trusted TV personality, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their nests.

Gold teeth and a curse for this town, were all in my mouth.
Only I don't know how, they got out dear.
Turn me back into the pet,
I was when we met.
I was happier then with no mind-set.

And if you took to me like
A gull takes to the wind.
I'd have jumped from my trees
And I'd have danced like the king of the eyesores
And the rest of our lives would've fared well.

New slang when you notice the stripes, the dirt in your fries.
Hope it's right when you die, old and bony.
Dawn breaks like a bull through the hall,
Never should have called
But my head's to the wall and I'm lonely.

And if you took to me like
A gull takes to the wind.
Well, I'd have jumped from my trees
And I'd have danced like the king of the eyesores
And the rest of our lives would've fared well.

God speed all the bakers at dawn, may they all cut their thumbs,
And bleed into their buns 'til they melt away.

I'm looking in on the good life I might be doomed never to find.
Without a trust or flaming fields... am I too dumb to refine?
And if you took to me like, well -
I'd have danced like the queen of the eyesores
And the rest of our lives would have fared well.

Either fake CGI, or there is a rod down the middle, obviously. Neither way would be difficult, and both defeat the wind blowing them over.

Wow, way to be incredibly skeptical and also completely wrong!



so u think this is real? see the gulls? how many minutes do u think it would take before one landed on this 'balancing act' and toppled it over. there is not a chance this is real - there is a strong chance u are gullible.

The gull is just trying to make the course a little bit safer.

"ballet is anything you want it to be"...

I want it to be a new kind of martial art : ballet fighting. Where high kicks are raised to a new level, where gull wing poses are deadly, and where crotch protectors are made of steel. Ballet to the death!!

Darwin actually wrote about this in "The formation of vegetable mould through the action of worms with observation on their habits" in 1881. Tinbergen also wrote about this when describing a foot stomping technique used by the herring gull to harvest worms. And if that wasn't enough, turtles do it too!
neat stuff.

edit- Oh, and major hypotheses for why worms do this:
1) To avoid predatory moles signaling with seismic vibration or digging.
2) To avoid drowning during a rainstorm, or to disperse on the surface when it is still wet from rain.

A warm summer sunset on the beach is a staggeringly awesome setting for shrooms. The feel of the sun, sand and warm breeze on your skin, the sound of the waves and the gulls, the smell of the ocean, the giant golden setting sun glittering on the crests of the waves, omg it's the closest thing to a state of perfect being you'll ever experience.
Yosemite (or just about any National Park) is another Excellent place to do shrooms.


I agree 150% Having lived in Oregon for all of my trips (still live here). Nature was heartily available and ALWAYS made the experience an awesome one.

The only time I experienced a "bad trip" was when I was with a group of people I hardly knew, didn't have a place to live at the time (was living with my "girl friend" and was depressed about my living situation and lack of employment). It made for a really bad experience. This was on acid by the way, not shrooms.

Sex on shrooms is one of the greatest experiences I have ever had.

First of all, Lalla ward is only reading it, the text is written by Richard Dawkins, so aim your accusations at him.. Secondly what "scientific misunderstanding"? Clearly Dawkins knows as well as anyone that there is a difference between chimps and humans, scientifically speaking, what makes us "different species" is that we cant interbreed. There are ofcourse also many other obvious differences, and there is no problem putting us into different categories. His argument is that since we are actually connected in a unbroken line of breeders, separated only by time, not geography, it makes interesting food for thought.

Imagine if it was like the herring gulls, with chimps and humans living side by side in england, and as you went east, "humans" became more and more chimp-like and the chimps got more and more human-like in the westword direction, where would you draw the line?

Its easier when all the intermediates are dead, that was Dawkins' point.

By the way: Chimps arent our ancestors, we share ancestors, so to get to the chimp from human you would first have to go back to our shared ancestor, and then forward again to the chimp..

It totally reminded me of Santa Cruz. The lighthouse, the surfing, the gulls, the giant dipper, and The Catalyst.

Hey, this happens to me alla time, sometimes I see a word or phrase, and begin ranting and raving, only to find that I have gulled myself, my ramblings associatively inspired by my own, impeccable sensibilities and morality.

Suggestion?? Before applying the litmus test of your "ideal" paradigm, check behind the curtain hanging in the direction of the pipe organ.....we're all suckered by the soft touch sometimes, check the driver's license;

One - that kinda looked like they were at an airport - good thing that gull didn't get sucked into a jet intake. Two - doesn't really look like a "race car" from the inside... looks like a regular car with a tape deck and maybe AC. Three - is that really 180 mph? (although from personal experience ~80 mph pigeon = minor splat only and no broken windshield).
