Endless Ends

So. Every year we have barn swallows. They come back to the same place to nest every year. A couple of years there has been was seems to be a throuple, which is not the way I understand how barn swallow breed, but to each their own.

Anyhoo. This morning, there was a ruckus on the porch. One swallow flew up to a nest that a pair were working on. There was much angry bird noise, and suddenly the incomer and one of the originals were on the ground, rolling around and fighting! 😳

Like, serious fighting. I thought it would be quick, but it continued on. Viscous stuff, like pecking and biting feet as they rolled around, wrapped together like two wrestlers.

A fear that I would be faced with dealing with a bird carcass got me outside, making a bunch of noise. Three times, because the first two they reconvened their grievance when I went back inside.

I'm not sure if this was a divorce or an attempt to usurp, but it was quite the spectacle.

I may have a mild case of Barn Swallow PTSD. 😬
 
Not unlike the human race, the fights originate over: Mating competition, Nest site selection or defense, Resource scarcity. I speak from experience (not human tho :D)

They were at loggerheads because one swallow spit
 
This sounds like a hillbilly name for a blowbang. I always knew you were hiding kinky Enny.

Craigslist Ad:
Shy, quiet type seeks 75 men for the annual Barn Swallow.
I think I just threw up a bit in my mouth.

Also, doesn’t everyone assume Enny is secretly kinky af? She’s like the poster child for the sexual version of still waters run deep.

Ewwwww. Y'all are ewwwwwwing me out tonight. 🤢

My whole body convulsed. 🤮

Gah! Surely no-one assumes anything of the sort?! I am the poster child for boring.

Then you would be a terrible candidate for Enny’s Annual Barn Swallow gathering.

This gives us all something to think about.
 
Taking a break from work and sat for a minute, to surf the internet, as one does.

There was a woman talking about beauty stuff, and from out of nowhere she announced that she waxed her nose hair.

WAX HER NOSE HAIR

😳

Admittedly, I have very little hair, but I have some experience with waxing. But, in the nose? That must be excruciating!


I now need a break from the internet. 😬

Nose hair??? I don't even wax my pubes
 
Huh. The consensus is about even. Those aware of nose waxing. Those appalled at the news.

(That would be out of my minimal sampling of five. 😝)

All are aghast at the assumed pain factor.

Interesting to note, no one I know well seems to participate in this sadistic grooming process. Should we be?

*goes to look in nose*
