New Bird Breed Discovered in Wixom, MI

Attention ornithologists - I have discovered a new species of bird.

Unique trait: their ability, and preference, to poop on their wings and fling it at my garage doors.

I have no other explanation for the fowl foulness. My doors sit innocently under an eve that has to be a good 12 inches – a good 12 inches of poop protection, and yet there they are – purple splatters across modestly cream colored aluminum.

Therefore, unless these birds have the skills to hang upside down under said eves and point their little bird butts at my doors and let loose, I must conclude that I have indeed discovered a new breed of feathered critters.

Naming rights are mine. So I’m open to suggestions. Make it quick though - I have a feeling that the crew from Discovery Earth will be setting up in my driveway any day now.

What's in a name?

Well, in the case of my blog, it's a damn fine dinner, that's what.

The quick story: I came home from work a couple weeks ago and my wife was focused on something other than making dinner. She asked if I wouldn't mind making it.

Sure...kids - how's cereal sound?

Poor reception.

So, I opened the freezer and there it was. A pound of bacon and half a bag of tater tots.

And wahlah - a fine culinary combination was born and so was the name of this site.

Which is quite apropos for what I'm envisioning this blog to be - a few odds and ends, random thoughts, etc. thrown together to create what I'm hoping is a scrumptious bit of reading. Not healthy, just quick, painless and delicious.

So please, pull up a seat, grab some ketchup, and enjoy.
