Your Goose is Cooked 2.0: Sweet Revenge

So, about a year and one half ago, I blogificated a post called Your goose is cooked, which chronicled my run-in ...er... a goose's run-in with my parked car's windshield. It was funny and infuriating all at the same time.

American and/or Mexican geese apparently have no right to the lush real estate. You have NO IDEA how many times, while walking from the parking lot, I've contemplated rushing the bunch of them, seeking revenge for my desecrated 1982 BMW.

Thus far, I've restrained myself from any such termination-inducing actions. But Karma has not forgotten me! One of these geese has apparently lost it's ability or desire to fly and has taken up residence in our back parking lot. Ha! It sucks to suck, goose! Welcome to the corporate world, where your friends take off just as soon as they land and leave you wading through all the crap they left behind.

We've named him/her "Goosen Von Christmas" for no particular reason, other than that was the first conglomeration of bad names we came up with.

Could it be the very same bird that drunk-goosed itself into my windshield? Perhaps.



But, probably not ...
