FUCK!


My beloved parrot, Xyrus aka Flappy, the 12 year old child I have raised from the egg shell, was run over on the Playa today.

I miss him already, soooo much.

Are you serious? Out of a cage? :shock:

I'm sorry to hear it, though, if you're being serious.

Or maybe we could fucking stash him somewhere and go get him later. Fuck, I don't know.
Any word yet? I can't get there until Monday some time, but would be most happy to pick him up anywhere along the way, coming from Colorado. Hope I can be of help........

I'm back in LA to spend a weekend with my wife.

No it is not a joke.

Flappy was a burner since 2002 and he lived a happy flappy life. So tragic, so sad. He was the Playa Chicken.

We will hold his memorial burn near the Bummer sculpture some time in the week of the event. I'll figure it out later when we are done hammering.

This whole trip has been surreal beyond any Dali painting.

Come share a pint at 8:15 and Bonneville.

Xyrus, aka Flappy, 1996 - 2008. My baby bird.

RIP

Fuck the cruelty of life... I fucking hate it.

I feel like a fucking idjit, cause I read that post and thought that it was some sort of lame fucking joke.
I am so sorry. I lived with a budgie for a few years, a lot of personality packed into a tiny bird. Broke my husband's heart when she died.
One question. Was Flappy the scarlet macaw that I saw a couple of times on playa? 2002 and 2003, I think.

Thanks Crypto,
No Flappy was the white Cockatoo that rode around in my bike basket and shoulder over the years.

Here he is with my wife circa 2002:

He was a big hit at kidsville as we always seemed to camp right next to them over the past decade.

Love the support guys, thank you!

What fucking else can go wrong?

Post by Token » Sun Aug 17, 2008 8:42 pm

So here I am sitting in LA, moping a bit, coping, dealing ...

I go and crack open a cold beer and go to the porch and sit myself down when the heat of the day was passing, for a good cigar, my dog at my side.

She perks her ears up and heads to the corner of the porch and starts barking.

A second goes by and a big fucking rock comes flying down the porch.

I get on down to the corner and my crazy neighbor is standing there in my driveway chucking rocks at my dog. One misses me by a few inches as I walk up.

I go verbally ballistic at the motherfucker, at the top of my lungs. The crazy bastard backs off my property and then goes yelling at me from his driveway.

What a fucking crazy old buzzard. The dog pissed on his lawn earlier that day! What the FUCK!

No one was hit by the rocks and no property damaged.

I called five-O on his dumb ass. Got this shit documented. He was a few inches from felony assault the stupid assed moron. Go to jail over dog piss. What a fucking idiot.

What next.

Fuck, I've been posting here allot lately.
