Actually, after I left to go to the bank, there was a goose laying on a nest, and another (assuming male) around him in a parking lot. The nest was on one of those islands with a little bit of grass.

I saw the male goose, it started hissing at me, so I revved my engine and went after him. He started running and flew away just in time. I was with my friend and his hatred towards geese is as strong as mine is.

So I left there the same way I came in. I went after the male one again and he flew off, but when he was behind me, he was chasing and hissing at me. I put it in reverse and scared the hell out of him. I thought I'd mess with his girly goose, so I acted like I was going to run over her (though I couldn't with a concrete curb).

she flew away a few feet, exposing 3 goose eggs. Then some guy driving by gave me a dirty look, so we left.

It made my day. I hate geese.

Last year I was coming out of taco bell with my girl-friend (notice the hypen) and there was this bird just standing on my side of the road... You know normally they move out the way... but this one just kept standing there and I ended up creaming it... it was funny and sad at the same time. I don't understand why it didn't move.

plasticthug,
maybe that bird had myopia - couldn't see you till the last seconds but then...too late. It would have benefited greatly from LASIK.

i got a deer a few nights ago, and after the deer i also got a mailbox, a fence and a tree. guess i should consider myself lucky since the top was down and i was doing about 60 that i walked away with just a scracth, . .but i cant help mourn my car. its gonna be 4 weeks to get it fixed, . .or so they say. it was mostly body damage, and no frame ,. .i just clipped the deer and spun into the ditch/tree/fence. all i could think of while it was happening was the deer jumping and taking off my head
