The many adventures of Hermie, the super-clever carrier pigeon, 1

General Store owner: “Well, Hermie, I don’t see why ol’ Mr Tompkins would ask for a ‘shitload of worms, assorted insects, and yummy yummy bread crumbles,’ but if that’s what he wants, that’s what he’ll get.”

  1. – Never trust a Joooo-ish pigeon…..

  2. Jeff Goldstein says:

    I once made the mistake of trusting a stool pigeon.

    Ending up sitting on a pile of shit.

  3. TomB says:

    Something doesn’t add up here.

    Did Hermie write the message for the store owner, or did he communicate the order in some other way? If so, that adds another layer of intrigue to this mystery. In addition, just how did this “pigeon” pay for all these commodities? Do carrier pigeons have pockets? I guess they wouldn’t be very effective “carrier” pigeons if they didn’t. Again, how did Hermie return the ill-gotten booty to his lair?

    Jeff, it isn’t that I don’t believe you. It’s just that with all the intense fact-checking we’re seeing from the Kossaks, looking to direct attenion from their own troubles, I think we need to exercise due diligence here.

  4. Showy says:

    Jeff, completely off-topic, but I thought it only fair to give you advance notice that your days of blithely peddling your lies in a consequence free environment appear to be at an end.

    Wow!!  Thanks Robert Dodds!  That must have taken at least three minutes on MS Word!

  5. shank says:

    Is that pigeon named after Hermes, Greek god of many things, but most notably the messenger between men and gods?  From whose name is derived the term ‘hermeneutics’; the science of interpretation?

    How very astute of you.

  6. mojo says:

    This is some kinda parable or somethin’, ain’t it?

    I hate parables.

    SB: law

    what is the

  7. N. O'Brain says:

    And Hermie, Mr. O’Brain just bought hisself a brand new Honda Civic.

    I mean if you wanna go poop on it or something.

  8. OHNOES says:

    The unfortunate punchline here is that Mr. Tompkins actually DID order the worms, insects, and bread crumbles.

  9. McGehee says:

    There is no Mr. Tompkins. Hermie stole his identity and charged a $3 million crib to the poor shlub’s retirement savings.

  10. Rob B. says:

    This is a Rovian coverup….

    Ok, what did the ‘dillo do this time?

  11. mojo says:

    Now, if Herbie was a Passenger Pigeon, he really WOULD be super-clever. Or just good at hiding.

    SB: often

    or eleven

  12. rls says:

    Showy,

    I actually used to comment on that site, along with about 4 other non liberals and I think we all got banned at about the same time.  We would rip his arguements apart. 

    I don’t think Jeff has anything to worry about.

  13. Major John says:

    Say, does Hermie know – what was it, Frank(?) – you know, Barretta’s cockatoo.  Maybe Hermie could, uh, give us a little of the inside scoop on that Robert Blake feller…

  14. Jeff Goldstein says:

    Fred.  Who tells me Blake is a bit of a character, but generally a good guy.

    Except when he’s killing people.

  15. – Or trying to sing and play guitar, in which case he also tends to kill people….

  16. Major John says:

    Except when he’s killing people.

    I guess everybody has to have something to pass the time…
