The ride began comfortably enough, but when the bird started asking him whether he enjoyed the green and purple sky too and if his feathers were melting too much, Bob began to realize that he had made a terrible choice by not walking today.

And he didn't even notice the sticker on the birds bumper that read gas grass or ass, no free rides

“Their early work was a little too new wave for my taste. But when ‘Sports’ came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor.”

[-] DevDave@piefed.social 2 points 2 months ago

Indeed, kinda became a super meme for a bit https://youtu.be/_5YzexpX7es

I believe the bird didn't get very far.

And so the king of wood bore me away from Isengard faster than the wolves and orcs released from the gates could match. Though he more me, his take was only to bear information; so I bade him take me rohan where a small toad and I would race to the shire in a sucession of expensive cars, likely to wreck a great number of them.

It's the dead of an Woodpecker attacked by an Weasel, A Weasel is a predator and even when the Woodpecker try to escape, the weasel don't let him go and at the end he will kill the bird in the first occasion. It's like a Lion riding a Cebra.

Struggling to find employment, more and more birds are turning to ride-share apps to make ends meet.
