The movie itself wasn't super great, though.

But yeah, I'd be OK with a better movie that still had Tim Curry.

Geese are legitimately motherfuckers, and I think swans are like that too. I have a buddy who's legs got loving shredded by geese when he was a grown rear end man. Maybe it's a swarm thing, and you can take a 1 on 1 goosefight, but I would not enjoy having a pack of angry geese up in my grill.

I saw one of these in the wild earlier this year, which had been a dream of mine for some time. They are spectacular, eerily huge and reptilian birds.

I'd just like to point out that there has been one documented cassowary-related death. Not arguing that they are crazy territorial cunts that are capable of doing damage, but they're not as terrifying as some of our other wildlife.

This is actually a pretty funny book by Onion writer Baratunde Thurston. It's about his life while also talking about race issues and how black people surrounded by white people are expected to speak for all black people or conform to some stereotype.

I read half of it right before that was posted. It's a good read, points out a lot of issues without being preachy, or "Kill Whitey!", even has heaping loads of humor to help the medicine go down. I highly recommend it.

Anyone that's lost a fight with a goose or swan did so because they didn't want to hurt them, or didn't know how easy it is.

I hunt, mostly birds. Turns out you have hands and birds only have wings, necks, and fragile bones. Grab the bird's head, make a fast exaggerated circle motion, then snap it at the end. Congratulations, depending on the bird involved you have either snapped a it's neck or decapitated it entirely. Please cook it well, and eat what you've killed, or give it to me.

Even if they don't want to kill the bird involved I'm amazed we don't have more videos of people punting them. Big birds have resilient chest, lots of muscle there, but that would get it away from you.

This whole discussion came up in another thread, and basically led to this post.
One one side you have a 12 pound bird with delicate hollow bones and in the other corner you have a 150+ pound primate with dense bone structure and powerful musculature for pulling and climbing.
The primate is going to tear the bird apart every time.

Turns out we're rarely in horror movies and therefore can see what we're walking into and geese are no ninjas.(and in my experience I have already shot them and am still holding said gun of shot)
