The Rickeybird Scrapbook, 1984 - Updates

This is not right.
Even if he never calls another game correctly, he has invaded one of the few strongholds of traditional masculinity left to me around this place, namely sports.
Tomorrow night, my Cleveland Browns will defend the Homeland against the invading Los Angeles Rams. But instead of putting my full vibes behind my team, I'll be distracted by wondering if the Bird predicted correctly.
This is not right.
Extra portions of beer will be required.

Scrapbook update... the Bird is doing well, having correctly predicted 3 out of 3 games so far. Also, you can see from the whiny and disrespectful lament above (quoted from the thread) that the Rickeybird has employed his usual strategic genius to ensure that he will be a winner no matter what! Thus he is already effortlessly transcendent and victorious over his Rival.
What a great moment to re-post this classic video, in which the Bird taunts hapless Kirby (the real name of the Rival, and my ol' man, as many of you know). Hopefully, the Rickeybird will offer a live performance when Kirby's buddies come over to watch the game.

I love it!
Btw every time I see a whole body picture of him I’m literally blown away by his beauty. He is SUCH a handsome bird!

Bless you, Sage, and thanks! He is the apple of my eye for sure. I'll walk around with a big smile on my face all day now! :D See?
 
Well, if any of you are still following the Bird's obnoxious sports predictions, he is now something like a perfect 8 out of 8, maybe 9. He has predicted that my extreme underdog Cleveland Browns will beat the Super Team Baltimore Ravens on Sunday. Yeah. His hen, (my wife) is teasing me heartlessly with the idea that the Bird is tricking me into hope, the better to break my heart when the Browns lose. Sadly, she told my buddies' wives, and the guys are falling prey to this. They are all excited. IT'S JUST A STUPID BIRD TRICK, I tell them. Nooooo, they say, you never know, don't be so negative! Sunday, 29th at 1 EST. Watch party at my buddy Jack's place. Kill me now.

And now, for something completely different...

I check in on this colony now and then.

Here's a 2019 update on the fabulous colony of wild Rickeybirds in Argentina. It's world-famous among Naturalists and bird watchers for the size (35,000 nests) and accessibility (travelers can walk the beach). There is a wonderful presentation of the place at this site. Just click on the big picture on the right and then click on the right-arrow for an amazing tour, with photos ranging from impressive wide range views to heart-warming (to me, at least!) close-ups of nests.

The whole thing just takes my breath away.

Only one word comes to mind,Ms Gail...STUNNING!!..thank you my dear friend for the link ;) And male RB's don't seem to be the "dead-beat" dad's that Rival tries to make us believe! :eek: Taking care of the youngsters and returning to the same house every year and all. I have a new respek for Uzz Rickey!

Thank you, Jim!

Yes, aren't those wild Rickeybird roosters somethin'?

It's easy to see where the Rb gets his attitude...

Special Investigation Report
The Origin of the Cactus Perch Is Explained

Unlike their peers, Patagonians are baffled by the presence of four toes. Unable to solve the riddle of a middle finger, they are forced to make do with sitting on giant cactus plants.

Although I fully agree with the concept. Provided with the opportunity there might be some back sliding regarding the goals set. Just saying...
But always worth the attempt...


Oooh, Yes, Rival: Cheers Good Friend!
 
Thank you, Mr. Boats!

Meanwhile, I have channeled the Rickeybird in order to learn that he and the other bullies of our land are happy that National STOP BULLYING DAY is almost over so that the bullying may commence anew!

Oh, Rickeybird!
