@enbypirate You can't give any ground to them. Dropkick that football with legs. /s

Tbf I would fear for my life if a swan got really pissed at me -
@alice So rude. But you do have ridiculously bitable thighs. Still, I would ask first. What kind of cracker was it?
@grim_elsewhere Cheez-its IIRC
To be fair, there are days I'd bite someone for Cheez-its too.

@whybird in both cases, "it" here is referring to the subject of the sentence, e.g. the goose.

Hey there @schmalzkringel, thanks for the follow request! Unfortunately there's not enough vibe on your profile to check, so...
If you could swap the world's cats and dogs with two other things, and folx would continue as though their lives and pets had always been that way, what would you choose?
I really want to answer with something like "tiny fainting goats & giant rubber chickens" just for the laughs I'd get out of it.
@alice @schmalzkringel In Australia, one occasionally hears suggestions about domesticating a native species, such as the quoll, and replacing cats (an invasive predator) with them, though it seems to be impractical on any reasonable timeframe

@alice as a Canadian, I agree.
@mayintoronto @alice @roknrol @schmalzkringel there's a reason Canadians are considered the nicest human beings on earth : when your only other point of comparison are these avian brutes, it's hard to look bad.

@mayintoronto @alice @roknrol @schmalzkringel that or there was a finite amount of meanness to distribute across the country, and the geese got 90% of it.

@roknrol @alice @schmalzkringel ah ha! Got it!
You are familiar with work of #HenryLizardLover?
@ambientspace @alice @schmalzkringel Nope, but I'll look him up!

@alice @grim_elsewhere @mayintoronto @roknrol @schmalzkringel an English swan once bit my moms ass for the same reason. Those birds are mixture of anger, beauty, courage and the power to back it up
When I hung around with some punks at our meeting point next to the river, a pair of swans nested there. On one evening one of the two swans walked right towards us and we shit our pants, because big bad angry bird. And he sat right next to us and did.. Nothing. Except hissing at every person walking nearby.

@Tooden @grim_elsewhere @alice @mayintoronto @roknrol geese and swans are actually ducks
But yeah.. where geese are just all bark, no bite, swans can bite as well. And hit. -

@alice @schmalzkringel I'd replace cats with owls; I'm not sure anyone would notice. And then replace dogs with small bears.
I mean, if you look at my handle, my answer kinda becomes obvious.
