genocide

an atrocity of biblical proportions is set to take place tomorrow.

the gentle and noble turtles of central park are slated to be MURDERED IN COLD BLOOD!

that's right, the turtles are going to be killed!

here's the key sentence in the above story if you can't be bothered reading the whole thing:

The pond's red-eared slider turtles will also be removed and euthanized by a veterinarian

the turtles and koi are being removed and killed because some useless underworked and overpaid civil servants decided that they are an invasive species that are "outcompeting" the species that are native to the lake. here's the insanity to the whole thing, IT'S A FUCKING MAN MADE LAKE! it's like telling someone who builds a pond in their back yard that they can only put in creatures that have been certified by some asshole civil servant.

i plan on going to the park tomorrow and making a major nuisance of myself. shit, i might even get arrested.



i love you sons of bitches.

BBC said...

Fuck your new rules. And fuck your queen, you and your queen are just a speck of dust on this rock like the rest of us.

Fuck your turtles, go polish the wife's BMW, or your pecker, ya stupid little shit.

BBC said...

Ah, Eharmony was hacked, and I don’t give a fuck.

thims - if things start going bad i might just have to use my chunk if ice 9.

bill - i was going to delete your lovely comment but i'll leave it up as a testament to your ignorance.

thimscool said...

Thankfully global warming will save us by melting all of the ice 9. Thanks tar sands! Damn the mojitos!

harry said...

You kids pipe down in there now, I'm trying to get some sleep for fucks sake.

Oh yeah, and fuck the turtles you road in on.




Road, that's right.

If they want their lake to function like an ecosystem they should put in some sharks. Which species are they trying to protect?

Leslie said...

Why can't they just make a new pond for the turtles and relocate them?

And why can't BBC be removed and euthanized? Frankenspirit!

billy pilgrim said...

thims - my dad told me that the effects of ice 8 are irreversible.

harry - i'm a rhodes scholar.

gb - since the turtle's main diet is worms i guess they want to protect the worms.

leslie - there are a few animal groups that want to rescue the turtles and find homes but the beureaucrats seem to think they might go rogue and make their way back to the pond.

i think the frankenspirit is pouting in his trailer, he tends to that after starting a battle and running for the hills.

"Hey, you, need any turtles?"

They busted a guy in OKC for selling red-eared slider turtles.

If the lake is man made, how can any species be native? It was dry land!

silly rabbit said...

I am horrified! I love both koi and turtles. Who cares if they are not native if they live in a man made lake... where nothing can possibly be "native".
How long have they been there? It seems like there should be some sort of grandfather situation if the turtles and koi have been there for years.
Crazy. That's what it is. I hope there was only one frankenfish. If they have laid eggs, they will need to fill the pond with concrete to kill them off.
They should put in koi and turtle food machines so that visitors can give up a quarter to feed them... the more you feed them, the less of any other food they will eat. Easy food beats food you have to catch any day... if they are worried about what the turtles and koi are eating. Koi are so docile that they will come up and eat out of your hand.
Besides, who wants to go look at a pond of minnows?
I think I am ranting now. Go and do what you can, Billy.

billy pilgrim said...

tex - if i was younger and still drinking i might just go buy a few snakeheads in chinatown and release them into the park. but that would be childish.

silly - i showed up at the park and was the only person defying the conservation officers. i made a bit of a nuisance of myself but the cold weather, rain and lack of alcohol prevented me from doing it right.

i saw them catch lots of carp but didn't see any turtles get scooped up in the nets.

kick some ass..I'll go your bail.

Mr. Shife said...

Good luck BP. Give them hell and give those sons of bitches an earful. Hope it works out for the turtles. And thank you for the chuckle in response to BBC's comment. Have a good one.

Well?

BBC said,

".....Leslie, you're a fucking idiot,...."

To which leslie replied,

".....You(BBC) are clearly a moron......"

Now I am not one to take sides in this unfortunate lover's spat, but I am compelled to at least correct some common misconceptions.

An Idiot is defined as a person who would score anywhere between 0 and 50 on an IQ test. An Imbecile, so defined, would score between 50 and 70. A Moron, between 70 and 90.
It is not possible to teach a true Idiot, as defined above, how to read and write. Accordingly, as leslie has shown she possesses at least rudimentary literacy skills, she cannot be categorised as an Idiot. At the very least she qualifies as a high-functioning Imbecile; these folks can be taught to read and write - though with great effort.
Now leslie's insistence that BBC is a moron could very well be possible; he has shown a reasonable command of his Yankee English.
Without further information I am unable to analyse this further.

I hope this helps.

Dearest leslie,

You had mentioned in a previous comment string that I should update my music references to this century. Heretofore, my only interface with North American culture has been through my English tutor; a near-on sexagenarian. Accordingly, I cannot help being a child of the Sixties!
Notwithstanding the above braggadocia, I have spent some time in a fruitless attempt to enlighten myself regarding the 'New Music' of this century.
Well, it seems to me, today's music is nothing but discordant Auto-tuning, incessant pleas to put rings on things and love that keeps bleeding. I'll tell you what's bleeding!
My ears!
And they keep bleeding, they keep, keep bleeding.

Speaking of which, I reckon Mr. Welch can stop thinking about tomorrow now - or are reports of his untimely demise just rumours?

billy pilgrim said...

yellowdog - try as i might they wouldn't arrest me.

mr shife - i think the turtles might be spared, more later.

aquarian - henceforth, bbc will be known as frankenspirit on this fine blog.

i think the 20th century was clearly superior to the 21st century in terms of music. we need a new chet baker.

Leslie said...

ALTFT~ You should tell your tutor to put a ring on it. Might prolong the lesson.

Leslie said...

And if you want to impress me, try using Bob Welch-era Fleetwood Mac songs when speaking of his demise.

Impress you?
Oh dear.

Until the arrival of Buckingham and Nicks - when Welch departed - Fleetwood Mac sucked.


"....Might prolong the lesson....."

We use the Socratic method - short, sweet and repetitious. You can only split infinitives for so long before it starts to chafe.

TheWayfarer said...

Fuck!
That sucks, man! Hope you give 'em enough shit to make the weeds grow.
Don't pay any mind to BBC, prolly just hammered again.

billy pilgrim said...

galt - that old prick owes me an apology, a real good apology.

Kelly said...

Arf! Arf! That was me, barking at you.

Aside from that bit of silliness, I can tell you're pretty pissed at them for killing the turtles. I agree, it's inhumane and cruel. It's too bad we can't strap the fuckers to the ground to the side of the pond, naked, and let the turtles snap at their little willies.
