I had lunch today and made some new friends. I couldn’t believe these little birds were so brave by taking the food right out of my hand. After about 3 minutes of this, I felt as if I was in a Hitchcock movie. BIRDS EVERYWHERE! There must have been about 40 of those suckers all lined up for the next Fry. It was actually quite enjoyable to watch.

Seeing this reminds me of when my friend Rufus (who’s from London) asked me what the saying “For the Birds” meant. He’d never heard the saying before. Another “lost in translation” moment perhaps.

I told him it basically means that it’s something you don’t want so you feed it to the birds. Like moldy bread… not good enough to eat yourself, yet the birds will cherish it. I DID have to stop and think for a minute what it meant though. I’m just used to saying the line. I guess it also means something you don’t want to do but you’ll let others do it…like standing in a long line. Now that I think about it…it IS kind of a weird saying.

I just hope this blog isn’t for the birds… but as you can see, I like birds :-P
