fowl play, heh heh

today the-guy-my-roomate-likes and his friend T needed to get to ojai, so we gave them a ride. they were going to T's house to catch, kill, and BBQ pigeons to "get back at Nature for the crappy weather". it was quite exciting. it basically involved 2 hours of mad poultry-chasing, in the pouring rain. after we caught 3 pigeons we all headed off after a rooster. after a bit of excitement (with the assistance of 4 of T's younger, scantily-clad, barefoot siblings) we caught the rooster, only to discover that all of the pigeons had escaped from their rain-soaked box. we started from scratch, except it was like negative scratch since now all the pigeons were riled up and no longer hungry. after much ado (including T's 2 y.o. brother's attempt to lure the birds with two large, still-boxed freezer pizzas), the boys decided that we had enough victims for their revenge on Nature and we headed for home, permeated by rain and the smell of fowl.
