It's Really Not The Camera...

PETA...nah sorry

Did I mention pay is crap? Especially since you have to live in SoCal. It's PT (about 20 hours) at $10/hr. But trust me, it has it's rewards and there's a reason I've been there for over a year and a half and have no intentions on leaving!

I hear to cover the rest of the costs you can prostitute yourself to make extra cash.

Come to my neighbourhood in Australia and take your pick.. Take as many as you like..We call the damn things "Soccer Hooligans".. Noisy, messy and distructive..

At least they are prettier than the "flying rats" (aka pigeons) here in Chicago.

We have those at work, too. We call them "doves".

And yes, prostitution can be quite the money maker when things get tight.

I haven't had much luck with it. Do you think it's the hat?

I think the camera is an intimidator for some

Yeah, I think it's the 5D2 getting in your way. You should send it to me to get it off your hands and then try your luck. It might also be your approach. What's your pick-up line?

I didn't know prostitutes had pick-up lines. I just look at a chick and say, "how much cash do you have"?

I just ask them. "Do you think it's worth it?" Then they drive away rapidly

A few years ago my next door neighbor got four peacocks (two were peahens, actually). He thought they'd stay in their cage. Wrong!

For a couple of years they wandered around the neighborhood. Noisy, messy, but not destructive AFAIK.

Some of the neighbors hated them. I think the grumpy old bastard a couple of houses down the block poisoned one of them. I thought they were great!

Pardon the image quality - taken with my Nikon POS (errr, P&S)

Nah, you gotta go for the classics. "I give you boom, boom" and "Me love you long time". Works for me... every time!

The problem with cockatoos they come over in swarms of hundreds.. One weedend I decided to paint a wooden out door setting which was looking a little tired.. Wife and I were pretty pleased with the result as the next step was to buy a new one.. We went to work on the Monday morning, came home and the damn things had chewed to corners off the setting,,their claws dug into my new paint work..And wait there's more,,my wife decorated the table with a lovely plant in a terracotta pot.. Pot was found smashed on the floor with no sign of the plant

My neighbour constructed a new pergola to cover his deck.. Our feathered friends chewed the roofing screw caps off,,all of them.. Now the pergola roof leaks..

Just another day in paradise, eh? Still, would you rather be hiding from polar bears like our Canadian friends?

:p
