Today, was a pretty good day. I was talking to Eric over Aim, and we decided to head out and get some food. On our way, we stopped by Joey’s house and got him. We got up to Subway, got our subs, and sat down on the little table outside of the building. Joey started it all by throwing a cucumber slice. The gulls were there before it hit even hit the ground (That’s actually not an exaggeration). While we ate, he kept throwing little pieces of his sandwich, and eventually got the gulls to get so close we could reach out and touch them. Not much of interest until it came.
After about 10 minutes of feeding them, we heard the loudest gull call ever. It was a cross between godzilla’s roar and the horn of a semi. We turned as fast as we could and saw him standing there. 100 times bigger than all of the other, a neck so long he looked more like a giraffe. The king of the gulls. We quickly got to our knees and bowed in his presence, lest he eat our faces. In his honor, I threw him the last 2.5 inches of my foot-long. He scooped it up in his beak and flew away with it. No doubt to devour it as an appetizer to his dinner that would most likely consist of small to medium sized human orphans.
I have attached a picture of what he looked like. None of us had a camera with us at the time, so this is merely a dramatization of his true power. Maybe one day, you’ll be able to see the real thing.
