She has a tattoo of one on her plump breast!

That song at cute overload. Priceless.

We were watching birds out on the snow and I kept commenting on how “cute and fat” they are. (I have a thing for birds — as symbolic imagery — I have a tattoo of a goldfinch.) My boyfriend felt the need to ruin my awe and tlel me they weren’t REALLY fat, they just had their feathers puffed up to keep warm.

I like them better cute and fat.

WE MUST WIN THE FIGHT AGAINST BIRD FATPHOBIA.

He hasn’t stopped, by the way. We saw a picture of a bird on a billboard and he said “there’s another one! That bird has really let itself go. When I married that bird it weighed 93 pounds.”

I’ve had to ask him to rein it in around people who aren’t me or you guys, since folks who don’t realize that the Obesity Epidemic is a fat load are apt to be made uncomfortable.

And the addiction to junk food. Bread crumbs! Muffins! Dirty french fries! I’ve known ravens to devour an entire bucket of KFC and once saw a pair steal a bag of groceries out of someone’s truck. Bird delinquency!
