Gary never did say whether he got out of the elevator

He probably used all his battery on this board instead of summoning help. He'll be fine, I'm sure. His secretary will undoubtedly be checking in with him before she leaves for the day.

How did Starlings get on an 8th Avenue elevator in the first place?

If only Gary was here, he loves to wish Nola Happy Birthday every year.

I'm stuck in an elevator on Adams and can't stop laughing.

It just occurred to me…..what will be done with all those dead Starlings? Is Robinhood holding back some scrumptious Starling recipes? I don't think he'd ever kill what he didn't eat.

If you see anyone on Ebay trying to sell 50 pounds of starling pâté you'll have your answer.

You could just recycle all of those killdeer recipes and substitute starling for the killdeer.

He's in an elevator? All this time I thought he was trying to say he was stuck in a lavatory!

First of all, Happy Birthday nola. Hope you have a fun celebration planned! Second, I'm out of the elevator and in my office using a desktop machine so no more refreshing of posts. Apparently, the Pre refreshes several times for each post, but today I learned that if I refresh the page as well, the post will be reloaded again, which means at least 2 more times for each refresh every time I hit the tab. I didn't realize what was happening because the message reply area is blank I had no reason to suspect I was posting yet again. Got it? -- (Whew, I'm glad that paragraph is over) Here's a picture of me stuck in the elevator and now my major contract for 2009 is complete! Time to break out the Veuve-Clicquot!

I have DEAD birds EVERYWHERE!!! Rat poison dissolved in water then sprayed on bird food obviously kills birds VERY quickly... I set out the pan of food in the garage this morning about 9am... went back out a couple hours later and there was at least 100 dead birds laying around my garage... I cleaned those up and just came back in from cleaning up another mess of them... So far I would say I have killed at least half of the little fuckers!!! I will put out the pan of poisoned food again in the morning to see if I can get the rest of the little bastards!!!

He's stuck in an elavator on 8th ave infested with starlings. Or possibly chickens.

I doubt whether most customers will be able to taste the difference but your profits on hotdog sales will be very healthy... unlike the hotdogs. Simon

Starling stew with olives"Fry some chopped turnips and carrots. Add a little stock and a glass of red wine. Place some starlings or other small birds in the pan. Add a thin purée of boiled potatoes mashed with beaten eggs, dry mustard, and some stock and a little beer. Cover with stock and cook for about 30 minutes, adding some ripe olives near the end."

How to make friends in an elevator
Whistle the first seven notes of "It's a Small World" incessantly. Crack open your briefcase or purse, and while peering inside ask, "Got enough air in there"? Offer name tags to everyone getting on the elevator. Wear yours upside down. Wear a puppet on your hand and use it to talk to the other passengers. When the elevator is silent, look around and ask, "Is that your beeper?" Say "DING!" at each floor. Say "I wonder what all these do..." and push any and all red buttons. Stand silent and motionless in the corner, facing the wall, without getting off. Grimace painfully while smacking your forehead and muttering: "Shut up, NOW, all of you just shut UP!" Greet everyone getting on the elevator with a warm handshake and ask them to call you Admiral. Stare, grinning at another passenger for while, and then announce: "I've got new socks on!" Meow occasionally. Bet the other passengers you can fit a quarter in your nose. When arriving at your floor, grunt and strain to yank the doors open, then act embarrassed when they open by themselves. Walk on with a cooler that says "Human Head" on the side. Stare at another passenger for a while, and then announce: "You're one of THEM!" and move to the far corner of the elevator. Listen to the elevator walls with a stethoscope. Draw a little square on the floor with chalk and announce to the other passengers that this is your "personal space". Make explosion noises when anyone presses a button.
