Angry Birds

We have a little problem in Terre Haute.....the Angry Birds! You know how some geographical regions have different problems that they have to deal with while the rest of the state and country laughs at them because of how odd it is? Go ahead and laugh, but our problem here is that our city has been taken over by crows. We're not talking normal crows....we're talking big corn fed crows that come out of the river bottoms and can outweigh most livestock. They've been known to feed on grade school kids and beat up bully's for their lunch money. The other day I saw one leaning up against my truck and smoking a cigarette outside my office and I was tempted to say something to him, but I didn't want any trouble. A little trivia for you on this Monday afternoon: Have you ever seen The Wizard of Oz and wondered where they got the idea for the evil flying birds? Answer: Terre Haute. According to an interview with the films writer, he got the idea for the birds after vacationing in downtown Terre Haute in the early 1920's. Apparently, the people of Terre Haute are now arming themselves. Various groups have united (with pyrotechnics in hand) and formed such groups as "Crow Patrol" and "Crow Crashers" and "Crow Today, Gone Tomorrow". I found this unlucky crow this morning outside the office. I'm betting that one of the good citizens of Terre Haute got tired of scraping an inch of crow droppings off of their car and has decided to start going Charlie Manson on them. One crow down....2,918,382 left.
