I didn't realize there are so many different kinds of boobies. Don't insult those cute birds by including them with those jerks! Stop showing pictures of them, Neil.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry for any upset I may have caused you Ellen.
Delete"Boobies" is too good a term for them.
ReplyDeleteThey deserve booby prizes.
DeleteThe first 5 photos show some awesome birds. You really spoiled things by putting in the last photo.
ReplyDeleteI thought you would enjoy looking at the boobies Red as you are a long time birder.
DeleteOh and here I thought you might show us some of your salacious collection.
ReplyDeleteDirty boy!
DeleteI had a pretty good idea from the start where this post was headed.
ReplyDeleteWe were in The Land of the Boobies.
DeleteAll so adorable except for those Two Pasty Faced Flabby Boobies.
ReplyDeletePasty Faced Flabby Boobies are known to poison the environment with their endless spitting of regurgitated material.
DeleteThose last two are the boobiest of all and I wouldn't mind at all if they became extinct.
ReplyDeleteHow cruel you can be Elsie!
DeleteTo see such a variety of boobies was nice, but your post caused a child warning pop up alert. I expect it was related to the final photo. No child should have to view that pair of boobies.
ReplyDeleteDo gay men enjoy looking at boobies?
DeleteNot those bottom two, for sure. Gay men prefer "pecs."
DeleteThanks for the warning Steve. I will keep mine covered up.
DeleteI was going to say much the same as Debra.
ReplyDeleteBlack hearted Goons, maybe
And you a Christian woman too! Ever heard of the concept of forgiveness?
DeleteHaha! I'll forgive when they repent.
DeleteTouchez!
DeleteThere's quite a few politicians on this side of the pond who are two butties short of a picnic YP. The leader of the Alf Garnett Party for one. Any guesses?
ReplyDeleteFarage?
DeleteHe's for the farmers and voted for Brexit.🤔
ReplyDeleteJacob Rees-Mogg?Jeremy Clarkson? Sting?
DeleteBoobies, buffoons, baboons, bullies,
ReplyDeleteLock 'em all up in the zoo!
DeleteHow sad to have sullied the pictures of the sweet, featherd variety of Boobies by adding that last picture. Had to smile at northsiders comment. Starmer, too, always looks as though he's confused and suffering from early on-set Dementia.
ReplyDeleteIt's not nice to mock the leader of my party Carol.
DeleteI must admit, from the title I was expecting something quite different from those delightful birdies and I agree with others that the last two tits should be eliminated.
ReplyDeleteWell I cannot imagine what you might have been expecting but I have always been interested in ornithology. In fact, I once wrote a poem about a shag.
