Wilderness New Favorite Bird of the Day!

Posted by Lindy West on Tue, Dec 23, 2008 at 11:33 AM

Hey guys. I'm sure you remember Sunday's New Favorite Bird, this fucking woodpecker:

Turns out, that woodpecker is kind of a conceited jerk. So today I have a new New Favorite Bird! Find out what it is after the jump...

My new favorite bird is...

Icicles!!!

Okay, I know icicles aren't technically a bird, but I didn't see any interesting new birds today. But how great are icicles, right!? So great.

THAT GODDAMN MONKEY MADE ME CRY-

Dude, I'm starting a band called Icicles Are My New Favorite Bird. Who's with me?

Since when did Perez Hilton get into ornithology?

Huge icicle is huge.

I'm enjoying watching them drip. There's hope!

One of those fucking icicles fell on my head.

Lindy, you should come check out the Hummingbird turf war going on at the feeder in our yard. Hummingbirds in a gang war are my new favorite bird.

Your Mom says you still can't have that BB gun for christmas, so you can stop acting like you're over it now.
:p

Posted by Max Solomon on December 23, 2008 at 12:12 PM

this was a let down. those are some nice icicles though.

Seriously Lindy West, you are a goddess among men. It's gotten to the point where, when I laugh at the computer, my husband says "What's Lindy doing now?" You kill me. Thanks for making me laugh all the goddamn time. Your calicified baby post made my cry - a good cry - not an ugly cry.

Posted by funnyfunnylindy on December 23, 2008 at 12:27 PM

OK...is it strange that the sight of those icicles made me daydream about directing a scene in a porno? I mean...you can imagine...

15 is on to something

I'm seeing a HUMP video coming on...ICICLE PENETRATION!

@15 and 16 - it's already been done. Kind of. It was a dildo made of ice. I can't remember the name of the movie though...

Woodpeckers are all fun and games until one decides that the side of your house would be a good place to hone its drilling skills.

Posted by Niro DeRobert on December 23, 2008 at 1:07 PM

Your new favorite bird should be the Tawny Frogmouth.

Posted by Fnarf on December 23, 2008 at 1:17 PM

I don't want anyone to be injured, but I can't help wanting to see some horrific icicle accidental stabbing incident.

Posted by Lara on December 23, 2008 at 2:09 PM

Yeah, I mean, do you think one of those could really penetrate your skull if it fell at precisely the right moment/velocity/angle? I wonder how many people per year are killed by icicles?

Posted by be careful out there! on December 23, 2008 at 2:15 PM

Can we hear more about how the conceited woodpecker fell from grace? Lindy fans need to know how to avoid Her wrath!

Posted by Uncle Vinny on December 23, 2008 at 3:12 PM

I think a Blue-Footed Booby is a good favorite bird.
