Why are NASA astronauts (still) lying?

I rather like actual seagulls, though even in my liking I admit the description is fairly apt.

[Andromeda]

Do you live near the coast, Raven?

[raven]

Yes, I do. The keening laugh of seagulls is one of the joys of living on the West Coast.

I am starting to get concerned about the wellbeing of of our fiesty OP?... Oh I do hope misfortune hasnt befallen him

Well there is always the possibilty he applied his wilful ignorance to the real world and got run over when he "protested" against the reality of traffic lights...

Strangely, I live on the USA East Coast, a good 300 miles inland, and we still have flocks of seagulls - evidently they range quite far up the larger rivers.

[Andromeda]

That's not the answer I expected, Raven - everyone else I have heard say they like seagulls are people who don't have to live near them!

I wonder how nutcases like Weisbecker gets through life. Do they get confused over cartoons and wonder why the coyote manages to survive huge rocks dropping on his head?

Of course not. Like any other nutcase, he realises that is all fake; a conspiracy perpetrated by "Acme" as a promotional tool for its wide range of products.

We've got the "rats of the sky" here in the Michigan/Indiana area, too.

[raven]

Every dump I've been to, no matter how far inland, they are there.

Oh, they can make a mess, but they are graceful fliers, quite beautiful and rather intelligent.

[Andromeda]

[raven]

My thoughts exactly. In fact, I considered linking a Sam video.

I spent one day in Ilfracombe last week. I don't like seagulls either. Look what they did to my car!

[raven]

Yes, they do do that. Never leave the top down on a convertible in seagull country!

[JayUtah]

Utah's state bird is the California seagull, and we have tons of them despite being hundreds of miles away from California.  They have a hallowed place in Mormon history, so we endure them.  I think we're the only state that has an official state firearm as well -- the Browning .45 cal. automatic.  Any connection is probably unintentional.

I wouldn't be completely sure--or at any rate, you won't be as soon as someone mentions it in Texas.  Though I've long loved that the official state sport of Maryland is jousting.
