Jasper's a nice name for a bird, better than Polly.

goes nicely with my plans to have a goose and a duck called Duck Norris and Goose Lee

my Dad suggested I call him Honky, which I did. It was only much later that I realised Dad's suggestion came from the fact that the goose was white.

My Nan had geese, they were horrid little fuckers and shit everywhere. Still, one did go for my sister, so they're not all bad.

especially during nesting season and when they had babies. I was tasked one year with spiking all the eggs so we wouldn't get any more babies and there was an evil male goose who guarded the nest that they'd cunningly made in the brambles when the female wasn't there, so I had to try and get him away so I could spike the eggs. I got in a full on fight with him and eventually had to wrap a teatowel around his head and punch him to get him to chill the fuck out. I feel a bit bad about punching a goose, but he deserved it. Kitty 1 - Goose 0. Also, whippet 0 because she ran away as soon as the goose hissed at her.

I did have quite a cool upbringing. I revised for my GCSEs surrounded by 5 goslings who used to follow me everywhere. Luckily it was hot and I used to go and sit by the pond and they would swim whilst I learned about dull maths that I would never use again.

I also had a pet duck because when she was born her feet faced inwards so she fell over all the time and the other ducks bullied her. So I took her in and taught her to swim and to walk further without falling over. I called her Spacker the Quacker. I loved that duck. She got eaten by rats though.
Oh and my mum had Honky shot. Yes, seriously.

That was my baby, she used to sit on my shoulder and snuggle into my hair to go to sleep. My mum needed to get rid of the geese because there were 40+ of them, so one of the local farmers agreed to 'remove' them. When I asked if she had saved Honky she said no.

We should start a 'We All Nominate Kitty For A Certificate of Excellence' group.

If you made me a badge that would be awesome because you are very talented at photoshoppery and the like.

This is one of the funniest things I've seen on this site.
