Tennessee Vultures
Okay, I'm used to pigeons and crows scavenging in Providence. But giant carrion birds outside my front door, eating smooshed squirrels--!?! I'm sorry, this is why cities were invented.
Any WU readers have such birds as their immediate neighbors?

Might I suggest that building a Great Wall O' Jack'o'lanterns is Slightly Weird...?

Would you ever actually admit you wrote this sappy song, then sue for your rights? See details of the lawsuit here.
