Yep.. I'm a bird

[Bud Gerigar]

Hello humans and other bi-peds,

My name is Bud Gerigar and whilst it is a while since I first joined this forum, I don't get to access the internet from my cage so it isn't that often that I can fly by for a visit (by sneaking access from my owners computer).

There probably isn't much to tell about my story that would interest you all as I have never actually been to a rally (in fact what is a rally?) although when I looked it up on the internet I did come up with this that looks like you guys like to hang around the same places as my pigeon cousins do:



I suppose that is what piqued my interest, as I like to sit around in nothing more than my feathers and thus finding a group of humans (or at least from what I have read, most of you I think are) that seem to want to share the freedom that I like (and crave from here in my cage), sounded pretty good to me, although from the looks of what you lot like to do there must sometimes be some fairly unsightly and uncomfortable chaffing that occurs... which is why I suppose I sometimes read of you doing it sideways and other strange things.

Must admit though that talk of detonation and other unusual topics as I have read here recently do confuse me a little.. and I can only think that this somehow relates to a bodily function as I know that even we budgies occasionally suffer from problems that mean some pretty explosive poo's happen from time to time.

I have also read here that sometimes the mod's change things they don't like. I hope my intro post and all in it is OK to stay, as the thought of a bunch of people who must be superior simply because they have motors on their bikes and wear old fashioned clothes deciding what you nudies should and shouldn't say seems a little strange to me.



Though I suppose as we have in avian life, there are different kinds of birds and birds with different plumage that seem to rule the roost (apologies for the awful pun.. but even us budgies have a sense of humour you know) .. so I guess that for you nudie bike riders it is simply like the law of the jungle that those with a bit more power and better feathers get to keep you in your place?

Anyway, I had better go as it isn't that often my owner lets me out to fly around the house, and I think he might be waking up from his nap soon, and if I get caught tapping my beak at his computer again it could turn a little ugly.

Cheep cheep from me.. and enjoy those bike rides and other activities you go on.

Bud



That's me by the way ... doing pretty much what I always do.

Dave, please don't drink and post.
And please don't get yourself banned for something as lame as this.

[Rallyray]

Yep. Definately Dave.

I thought of Marcus too but there's no negativity in it so it can't be him...

I knew I should never have taught that bird to speak .... look at the trouble he has got me into

Dave



EDIT:

PS is it that lame?

I must REALLY be slipping as I thought it was reasonably humourous (in a stupid taking the piss and bad pun kind of way)... especially given the forum pages/threads/posts have all been so serious lately and mostly lacking in the general piss-taking and levity we have all grown to know and enjoy?... I'll talk to the bird and tell him to tone it down!

Why? Don't you believe my admitting to the whole bloody saga (or sorry.. was I too subtle or obtuse in suggesting I take responsibility for what the "bird" is meant to have posted)?

FWIW, I also had written by PM to Spac (prior to my post of around midnight) admitting, apologising and saying that I was happy to accept whatever the consequences were.

But pleeeease.. it was just a stupid pisstake by me done almost entirely in an attempt to try and bring a bit of levity and humour to this place, because lately the forum has become boring as batshyte with those that usually are good for a joke and a good time nearly all taking things very seriously or not posting (or in one case, really worryingly I think (and I wish there was something I could do to help), seeing negativity in pretty well everything).

I take FULL responsibility.... NO... I do not think I am a budgie... nor do I have multiple personalities! ... it was simply me farting around with an alternate sign in that I created a bit over a year ago that up until the last couple of days I had only ever used once.. (and that then was to have a little joke back in late 2008 at someones slight typo.. and use the bird reference to that effect).

Alright... I'll punish myself

I am hoping to see a bit of a laugh returning to here though, and SOON.. as the good natured banter that were part and parcel of the interesting discussions were what really were at the heart (IMO) of what makes these pages so interesting, compelling and so much fun (as well as of course the informative and other aspects that are a given).

Cheers and best wishes to all (and apologies for any offence caused or taken by my clearly ridiculous post.... though the thought of the forum mod's actually being mod's (in the scooter riding 60's sense) does still give me a bit of a chuckle... but I appreciate that apparently no one else finds that even remotely funny)

Its that time of the month.. I mean year, Dave... half of us are busting for the rally season to start, the other half looking at a car that won't be ready in time.

Call it carmoanal.

at least it clears one thing up for me, I thought Bud and Allan (border collie) were from the same household.

[buzzard]

Dave, try to stick to more convetional means of giving the "bird" and see how that works out for you.

Nup.

Although........Dad was hoping that Mr Bob might have invited him around to drink that brown bubbly falling-down water with Mr Kelly last week, because he has never met Mr Kelly but thinks that they might have the same sense of humour. (prolly the one that Legend sold)

Blah, this fur coat is too hot.

[Allan]

BTW Mr Kelly, do you wear a Spencer or a Tunic(k)?
