I hear that if you feed a goose an Alka Seltzer tablet that it will explode. Is this true?

Hi There,

So — Bar 4 was definitely NOT showing Mad Men. So, your ‘tip’ pretty much ensured I didn’t get to watch the premier as it was too late to make other arrangements by the time I found out.

Think you can actually find a bar in Park Slope that’s showing it for next week?

Thanks.

Mad Men is not showing at Bar 4, FYI. I just called there and asked them – there’s a comedy show there tonight.

As of yesterday (7.23) a few geese were sighted at the lake’s rim contemplating the scene of the recent carnage and assessing the possibility of a comeback. White bread was being distributed to them by young volunteers. Living, as I do, in the flightpath of their daily commutes, I would wholeheartedly welcome their honking return. In this spirit I suggested to them that they don the white disguise of common barnyard geese and lay low until the Feds were better occupied elsewhere.

I think that we have so much technology in the world to care about the health risks like, brain damage and cell phone radiation in the community. We can’t live without technology. I think that verizion is stepping it up and that this shouldn’t be a problem.

Don’t forget “Winter’s Bone”..the description of 0zark drug dealers and bail jumpers may be off putting,but it is a film directed and written by women, told from a woman’s perspective ..powerful performances by Jennifer Lawrence and John Hawkes…”Hands down” the best movie of the summer and possibly the year….

If it’s true that our species is alone in the world, then I’d have to say the universe aimed rather low and settled for very little

Comment on Tupper Thomas Responds to Prospect Park Goose Slaughter by M Heasley

Tupper, I doubt you’ll read this, but if you do: Thank you for making a statement. The silence of those involved with the killing of the geese is deafening. We would appreciate more statements and a community meeting regarding the matter. There seems to be a breakdown in communication, and I think community members would like and deserve more explanation than they’ve been given. I also think many community members have excellent ideas on how to prevent mass killings of geese in the future.

PS: Please stop using the word “euthanasia” in reference to what happened to the Prospect Park geese. Euthanasia is the peaceful, painless death of a person or animal who has an incurable painful disease.
