Pidgeoy pudgey little arms

I was walking back to the car on Sunday after doing the groceries, and saw a white pigeon with dirty brown spots on it's bottom half running across the road.

"Huh" I thought to myself, "where did his arms go?".

"Wait, what?" was my next thought, "pigeons don't have arms, stupid!"

"Oh yeah... but they look so funny without them." I had the mental image of his little arms pumping back and forth in contrast to his little legs.

"Um no they don't. They're birds."

And then I snapped out of it.

I have NO idea what caused that little mental episode but I did have an upset stomach about an hour later - that's gotta be related, right?

Wow, you ARE weird :)

Birds have wings so they can't arms, would they go above or below their wings? Having arms would be a total design flaw for birds.

Plus, birds are gross, that's why you got sick, they passed on some grossness to you :P

You're an amazing artist too... The way you've portrayed motion in the first piece... It's stunning!

Gosh, that really is the funniest thing I've ever read! At least, in a very, very long time. I sometimes think up weird, random things, but I don't think it's ever been that weird, or that random.

I am with you, pigeons need arms.

And fingers.

Cléa said...

What?? no yellow faces on the birdies? For shame...:P

Adam said...

Clea is totally right.

How are the pidgeons going to feel when they see themselves on the internet with arms?!? How embarrassment/ace for them!

Wow, I think this a lot actually. I thought I was the only one.

I also look at lizards and think they need ears. Little pointy ones.

I love your artist impressions too :-)
