It is illegal to feed the wildlife in Yellowstone National Park. And
a bad idea in general anyway.

While I'm confessing, I did feed the chipmunks at the Grand Canyon,
too. They especially liked Nutter-Butter cookies.

Ahh, I feel much much better getting that off my chest after so many
years. ROFF can be _so_ cathartic :-)

Jon. (hoping the statute of limitations is up)

OBROFF? Well, I did catch a 3" brown somewhere in YP.

Odin had two crows, if I think long enough I remember their names.

BJ, do you see the problem? Don't take this wrong because I enjoy
many of your posts, but the above made absolutely no sense
whatsoever. Are you trying to send messages to Osama via ROFF? If
so, please tell him that my boys are coming to get him and he will
end up like Sadaam sooner or later.

We have crows here, right now, in the Sawtooth Mountains of central
Idaho. They're just about the only bird that hangs around through the
winter. I think they survive on roadkill. They are very wary birds,
because Idaho has a year-long open season on crows. Why anyone would
want to shoot one is totally beyond me.

"Prophet!," said I, "thing of evil - prophet still, if bird or devil!
By that Heaven that bends above us - by that God we both adore -
Tell this soul with sorrow laden if, within the distant Aidenn,
It shall clasp a sainted maiden whom the angels name Lenore -
Clasp a rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore."
Quoth the raven, "Nevermore."

I remember reading once that in Mexico they value the crow over the
duck as food. It seems that there were arguements between the
governments about which bird was the pest, and which was food. We
agreed to not kill all the crows, and Mexico agreed not to kill all the
ducks.

Can anybody corroborate this?

I can't corroborate that, but they call those black and white birds
with the long tails (mockingbirds?) "Mexican Pheasants" up here. I
have heard that name from Colorado to Montana. Could be a play on
the same myth?

Warren I thought you were better than that. I'll explaing. I did make one
mistake the last line should be ",,,think long enough I'll ( I typed "I"
instead ) remember their names"
I had "think" and "remember" in that line as a hint to the names of Odins
ravens.
A group of crows is not a flock but a "murder". They are very clever, but
not equiped to open walnuts. Where ever they get their walnuts ( some
people must put them in their bird feeders for the crows and jays ) they
drop them from 30 or 40 up on our parking lot, they bust on the pavement,
the crow lands and eats the walnut.
Some where else I said you were a kid on a three wheeler in the Tour de
France. That was to say your not a mean or surly person at all, as least
compaired to someothers.

Posting rules.

1. Verbs has to agree with their subjects.

2. Prepositions are not words to end sentences with.

3. And don't start a sentence with a conjunction.

4. It is wrong to ever split an infinitive.

5. Avoid cliches like the plague. (They're old hat).

6. Always avoid annoying alliteration.

7. Be more or less specific.

8. Parenthetical remarks (however relevant) are (usually)
unnecessary.

9. Also, too, never, ever use repetitive redundancies.

10. No sentence fragments. No comma splices, run-ons are bad
too.

11. Contractions aren't helpful and shouldn't be used.

12. Foreign words and phrases are not apropos.

13. Do not be redundant; do not use more words than necessary;
it's highly superfluous.

14. One should never generalize.

15. Comparisons are as bad as cliches.

16. Don't use no double negatives.

17. Eschew ampersands & abbreviations, etc.

18. One-word sentences? Eliminate.

19. Analogies in writing are like feathers on a snake.

20. The passive voice is to be ignored.

21. Eliminate commas, that are, not necessary. Parenthetical
words however should be enclosed in commas.

22. Never use a big word when a diminutive one would suffice.

23. Kill all exclamation points!!!!

24. Use words correctly, irregardless of how others use them.

25. Understatement is probably not the best way to propose
earth shattering ideas.

26. Use the apostrophe in it's proper place and omit it when
its not needed.

27. As Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "I hate quotations. Tell me
what you know."

28. If you've heard it once, you've heard it a thousand times:
resist hyperbole; not one writer in a million can use it
correctly.

29. Puns are for children, not groan readers.

30. Go around the barn at high noon to avoid colloquialisms.

31. Even if a mixed metaphor sings, it should be derailed.

32. Who needs rhetorical questions?

33. Exaggeration is a million times worse than understatement.

34. Proofread carefully to see if you any words out.
