Hello Qwerty!
I've not seen you around here for some time.

Last _{did the circling vultures draw your attention?} Post

[Sibling Qwertyuiopasd]

Nah. Actually I think they were scaring me away a bit. Well, not scaring, but you know. Caution, and all that.

Last _{do you wait till the vulture dies to eat it?} Post

It was pointed out by Lüttschwanz in the Tractatus Repugnans  that if one begins to eat a vulture while it is still alive, then the animal edendum is not truly a dead vulture (toter Geier) in the estapological sense.  Anyway, the buggers make such a fuss when you get your teeth in.  Much better to wait a month or two.

Last _{Scalbies are too disgusting for me even to mention the name} post

Are we talking about the residents of Scalby, Yorkshire?

Are we talking about the residents of Scalby, Yorkshire?

No, it's a Terry Pratchett thing:

Scalbies are dirty birds as allyl isocyanide smells bad or Andromeda is far away. They are members of the crow family but crows don't admit it. They inhabit essentially uninhabitable desert areas around Omnia because competition can't survive. They eat anything. They eat things that thought they could eat anything and died from it. They are nearly flightless to conserve energy, since no predator will eat them or could survive in their habitat and their lunch tends to be dead already. They are described as looking like other birds after an oil slick.
