The Accidental Birdist

Can you believe I didn’t see this pileated woodpecker yesterday until I skied right under his Ponderosa pine and heard the “pock pock pock” of his beak on the tree? I don’t know why. The garish red of his crest stands out against the winter landscape like Britney Spears at a debutante ball.

    You also won’t believe that was the only metaphor I could come up with this afternoon. The well, she is dry.

    Personally, I like the title.

    Right now, thanks to the mention of Britney’s vag, I think the title’s the high point of this post.

    This is one time I wished I didn’t dive into a thread that involved the photo of a pretty animal. That metaphor (or was it actually a simile?) was just wrong . . . which merely proves I’ve seen other images I wish I hadn’t.

    Hmmm…you’re right, Chris. It is a simile. My bad. But still, not as bad as what followed.
