Awesome! I never knew Bert had dancin’ legs and wore saddle shoes. And proof that there are actually other pigeon fans (?) out there.

So Neil, can you do the Pigeon with a broom for a partner? Just asking.

By V-Grrrl on 06.22.07 9:36 am

OH MY GOD!

I must have missed that episode of Sesame Street, dang. I liked seeing his legs too and I want to make a pair of those socks!

PBS and COTM rock!

At least it wasn’t ABBA.

By Neil on 06.22.07 9:46 am

hey it’s kind of catchey isn’t it.

You always manage to tie everything it neatly, don’t you?

I couldn’t help but have flashbacks to one of my all-time fave shows, “The Carol Burnett Show.” She used to play a character of a bag lady and coax the pigeons in the park with “Here, pidgey, here pidgey…” I can just picture Neil Kramer doing the same, then squawking when the pigeon approaches!
Have a great weekend, Neil & Sophia. Sophia, hope you’re doing well, and enjoy the planting you’ve been doing.

It is obvious that the pigeons simply want you to watch less TV and read more.

BTW, I am seriously thinking about murdering you so I can take over and have a PR6 blog.

I thought it only sporting to warn you.

“See the one with the feathers…” Hilarious!

By AscenderRisesAbove on 06.22.07 4:15 pm

A PR6 blog?

By Neil on 06.22.07 4:19 pm

I can’t believe you failed to have your baby pigeon spayed or neutered before sending it back out into the wild. That was really bad parenting, Neil. Now she’s just gonna get knocked up and try to raise her babies on your patio.

By Kate on 06.22.07 4:30 pm

PR6 means “Page Rank” in Google-speak.

It means you’re popular. Like Olivia Newton John popular. People like you! They really like you!

Let’s see what my blog’s page rank is…

BRB

Ack! 4 out of 10. Someday, Neil. Someday.

By L.A. Daddy on 06.22.07 4:39 pm

Oh. Alright! Google rank. Bring on the money!

And Olivia Newton John is hot — or at least she used to be. Haven’t seen her lately. But I bet she’s still hot.

By Neil on 06.22.07 5:34 pm

Neil, call animal control to come breakup that pigeon nest. yuck! Sorry folks, I have a big aversion to pigeons.

By Two Roads on 06.22.07 6:23 pm

I will have to make my guests learn that dance tomorrow. hehe

By Dagny on 06.22.07 6:28 pm

It was awesome!

By Shelli on 06.22.07 6:33 pm

Be still my heart.

Yeah, so not jealous, actually.
Frankly, I’m surprised (though glad) you survived.

By Jay on 06.22.07 9:55 pm

“what the pigeon wants, it taketh..”

It’s taking over your turf. It’s moving in with you.

By helen on 06.23.07 12:47 am

I mentioned the Muppets the other day in class and my students looked at me like I spoke a foreign language. I think it’s so sad that the kids of today aren’t really exposed to Sesame Place:( Travesty, I tell ya.

By Jane on 06.23.07 6:57 am

Wow. You worked that pigeon angle for a whole week! It was grand.

By plain jane on 06.23.07 8:29 am

If you relocated my baby, I’d mess with your cable too!

By Margaret on 06.23.07 8:38 am

Pigeons and doves are not the same thing, are they? My mother-in-law says I have doves, but they look like pigeons. I’ve been feeding them and if I’m feeding doves that sounds good but if I’m feeding pigeons I feel pretty stupid.

By Marilyn on 06.23.07 12:56 pm

If the pigeons somehow get electrocuted in the cables — I’m not saying you’re wishing for it, but I’m saying if it happens — you’ll get some nice roast squab, right? A good by-product, yes?

By Patois on 06.24.07 6:19 pm

Bert!!

By mrsatroxi on 06.25.07 11:34 am

G;a the pidgeon was ok. I love Burt.

By Pearl on 06.25.07 9:16 pm

never type tired.

Glad, I’m glad and Bert, I love him, I just don’t know his name. Gah!

By Pearl on 06.25.07 9:17 pm

so, i saw a news program about how great pigeons actually are and how some people have coops of them like chickens, and they care for them, and so on. i can’t buy into that for this singular reason: one time i saw one pecking at human vomit on the sidewalk. i will never think of them as anything other than indiscriminant vermin. i feel bad for feeling that way about them, but that was just revolting.
