That's crazy. You would think after hearing the shot he would have at least been looking around and able to avoid it.
haha, this is hilarious. i can just imagine being the kid who sees his dad knocked out by a goose.
bahahahhahaha!

I believe you. They're evil little sods sometimes, the swans too... love Hyde Park, though.
However, I can imagine a goose being quite heavy. Whenever you see them in the supermarket they're usually very large birds.
you'd think they'd be more concerned about what happened after they shot the geese....
almost a Darwin Award there

I take my nephew to see the local duck pond sometimes.
the geese have ATTACKED me. Terrifying little buggers.

Man. Whatever you're feeding that goose looks, like, really good. All ridged and suggestive of deliciousness ...
My stupid students talked me into "Fasting for Darfur." I'm so hungry ...
It's Belgian waffles, excellent as a snack or lunch, or as dessert with ice, cream and/or jam.thedude110 said:
It's not actually a goose I'm feeding, but a swan. So even it it's a bit off topic I felt it appropriate to share...
I've been chased by both geese and swans, more than once, but I've always managed to outrun the geese. The swans, on the other hand, are fast and mean and managed to catch me and bite. Much harder than you'd think.
I've also been bitten by an ostrich, but that's another story.
I think birds get hostile (unless I bribe them) because they feel that I'm a cat person.
When the goose landed on the guy's head, his head probably became very warm, although it was probably very soft and comfortable.

that's so cool... i thought you guys drew these things!
only a handful of posts to go before i get me an avatar...
And Google Ads outdoes itself -- the banner ad when I read this said "Got Geese? We Can Help" with a link to The Geese Police.
Geese are indeed not small birds. I remember the first time I saw wild geese up close, thinking "Those are not the tame white birds from the picture books!" Really beautiful, though.

Did anybody else read this and think of the classic WKRP in Cincinnati episode in which the radio station had a big Thanksgiving turkey giveaway...and did it by dropping live turkeys from a helicopter?

Now that you mention it... I really used to adore WKRP. Showing my age...
A classic episode though. Up there with Mary Tyler Moore's 'Chuckles bites the dust'

Your post made me think of it. Yes, that was a very amusing and memorable episode.
I bought new tapes yesterday for the VCR. As I sorted through others earlier to eliminate the oldest, I almost discarded one taped on 11-29-04 but never watched. It contains 14 episodes from a Three Stooges marathon. Thankfully, an index card was tucked inside the box thus avoiding a tragedy. Mindless material lives to see another day.
