I rode home on my lunch. On the way back, I felt something warm and gooy on my face. I reach up to feel it. Yep, bird shit. On my hands, face, hair, jacket, bike and even my new leather shoes.

That is all.

On all that stuff? Was it a pterodactyl?

you should have pheasant for dinner just to make up for it.

one time I was riding down irving approaching benson high when I was coming up fast on these kids with shitty bmx bikes just as i passed one of them hocked a big loogie right in my face...of course he didn't mean to just bad timing. fuck man I got skittle and dorito spit all over my face.

Do you just get spit on a lot?

was it a cormorant?

"A large aquatic bird which is really linked to the gannet and the pelican and is found mainly in warmer and tropical locations, mostly on the sea but at times on inland waters . Cormorants have a body length of two to 3 ft. long , with heavy, generally dark plumage and their eyes are green. The feet are webbed, the bill is long with the upper mandible terminally hooked. Being excellent swimmers, Cormorants chase fish underwater. In the Orient there used by fisherman who collar the leashed birds to prevent them from swallowing the catch . The Double crested Cormorant of the Atlantic Coast and Bryant's Cormorant in the Pacific are common forms. The glossy black European Cormorant is widely distributed in the northern hemisphere. A South American Cormorant is the guano."

i grew up deep sea fishing down in southern california and have witnessed these birds fly over and poop for a good 10 seconds- leaving a trail of up to 25-50 feet. it's because they get so much salt water in their system while hunting underwater.

First thing that came to mind was…

PWNED!

I thought a bird shitting on you was good luck. Even if it's not, just claim it anyway.

THOR4LIFE:

I got shat on today. Was at the track at pratice, just comming out of turn 2, and thought I squished a bug on the tip of my nose. I wiped it off with my sleeve, to see an fatty glob of white shit.

grrr

Sucka. ahaha

THOR4LIFE:

grrr
