A Bird Defecated on Me at Shea Stadium Last Nite.

[Smarmie Doofus]

That is all.

Carry on.

[Raven]

1. A sign of good luck. :-)

[Mojorabbit]

21. That is what my mother always said when I was growing up! :) nt

[Xipe Totec]

2. Check yourself for viable pepper seeds. nt

[quinnox]

3. thanks for the laugh

[polly7]

4. Yay! You will have 30 days of good luck!

Or maybe it's bad .... I can't remember for sure.

5. Bird Shit Happens...

7. ??? Isn't my beloved Shea Stadium gone?

As it happens, I was at the Milwaukee game at Citi Field yesterday. Crappy game, but that was the only crap I was exposed to.

[Smarmie Doofus]

10. It's *Shea Stadium* and will remain so.

To me, anyway. Although perhaps now it can be re-chritstened "Shitty Field"... in honor of both my assailant and the odious cartel that thinks *it* built the place.

I was in sec 338; left- center. Where were you?

(Don't sit in Sec. 338, row 8, seat 7. Ever.)

[DefenseLawyer]

11. Shea was demolished

It's now a parking lot. The birds moved across the street with you.

[MannyGoldstein]

23. I get your point

The new name is incredibly irritating.

335, 1, 17 if I recall. We did the deal with the food voucher, good cheap fun. A quarter of what we pay for a game at Fenway, although it could be argued get what you pay for in this case...


I spent most of my childhood in Glendale as a Mets fan, now a Bostonian who's team-agnostic.

[Bigmack]

8. The Teapublicans are about to drop a load on us all. nt

[DefenseLawyer]

9. Shea Stadium? Last night?

Hmmmmm.... is there a wormhole in Queens?

[alcibiades_mystery]

20. It really annoys me when people call Citifield Shea Stadium

It's one thing if they merely renamed the actual Shea Stadium. Then it would be appropriate, like continuing to call the Sears Tower the Sears Tower. But they didn't. They tore down Shea Stadium and built a different stadium (Citifield). To call it Shea is simply wrong in my view. I should note that I grew up in the shadow of Shea Stadium, which I could see out of my apartment window, and that I'm a lifelong Mets fan who spent more days than I like to count in Shea. Citifield is not Shea Stadium. It's a different fucking building entirely.

[Logical]

12. Maybe post this to the lounge next time. Wow. n-t

[theHandpuppet]

15. Agreed.

Sheesh. I'm sure there weren't any truly deserving threads pushed off the front page by this self-absorbed drivel.

[KittyWampus]

13. A bug pooped on my hand while in the veggie garden the other day. Tiny line of yellow/brown slime

Felt something wet on my hand, looked down and there it was.

It was a stealth bug too. Didn't even see it coming.

[jazzimov]

14. Was it a Foo bird? If so, I hope

you didn't wipe it off. You know the old saying: "if the Foo shits, wear it!"

[etherealtruth]

16. Shit happens

Probably not the first time and definitely not the last time

[JHB]

17. That's nothing! On Friday morning, getting a paper for my commute...

...right next to me was Curtis Sliwa, doing the same thing, except he was getting a crappier paper.

There's a sight I don't need first thing in the morning.

[meow2u3]

18. Nice try, pal

Shea Stadium has been replaced by Shitty Field in 2009.

Or do you mean to tell me you've been walking around with bird shit on your head for 5 years?

[KittyWampus]

19. maybe there were some psychedelics involved.

[msanthrope]

22. Fitting. It's in Flushing, after all. nt

[Shankapotomus]

24. And let that be a lesson to you.

What's the lesson, I don't know, but I'm sure you did something wrong.

[HarveyDarkey]

25. At least it wasn't this...

[randome]

26. You THOUGHT it was a bird.

But it was actually a miniaturized drone sent to make your evening intolerable!
[hr][font color="blue"][center]I'm always right. When I'm wrong I admit it.
So then I'm right about being wrong.[/center][/font][hr]

[pangaia]

27. Are you SURE you were at Shea?

[ElboRuum]

28. Meh. You prolly deserved it. n/t

[Freddie]

29. Just had a flashback

When I was a kid our sixth grade class went on a Nature Walk in the nearby woods. Not long into it a bird crapped on my head and I had to wear the shit in my hair the whole rest of the day (nowhere to wash it out). Good times.

[duffyduff]

30. Was your mouth open? n/t

[Recursion]

31. Sailors say that's good luck (nt)

[hughee99]

32. If you were at Shea, that must have been the HIGHLIGHT of your day.

Sorry

[Uncle Joe]

33. The only poem that I have ever submitted to D.U. to date was dedicated to birds.

Thanks for the thread, Smarmie Doofus.

[KittyWampus]

36. Birds - your poem (I really liked it, gave me a smile)

Birds

You shit on my roof
Why so aloof
You shit on my hair
What do you care

You shit from afar
Covered my car
You shit while you fly
Smack in my eye

You shit on my deck
What the heck
You shit on my coat
Why should you gloat

You shit where you will
Whether moving or still
You shit from down low, you shit from up high
In spite of it all, we still love you, sigh

[Uncle Joe]

42. Thanks, KittyWampus

It's kind of a Dr. Seuss goes Breaking Bad.

[jberryhill]

34. Do birds "defecate"?

[steve2470]

38. eliminate, perhaps ? *waits for avian biologists everywhere to chime in* nt

[jberryhill]

39. Do you think we're guano find out?

[steve2470]

41. *hears birds chirping so far* nt

[Coyotl]

35. I farted once three months ago

You're the only person I thought needed to know this.

[steve2470]

37. it was a sign from God that you need to humbly repent for your sins

in case I need to......

[SomethingFishy]

40. If the Foo Shits... wear it.

[1000words]

43. Pfffftttt .. That's nothing compared to the dump the Mets take when they're on the field.

There's hope for next year, however. Yankees will likely be worse.
