TODAY weather presenter Steve Jacobs has been attacked by a pelican during a live cross from Sydney's Taronga Zoo.

Jacobs was at first startled as the pelican, named Marnie, jumped towards him while he was introducing a weather bulletin at around 7am.

The large adult water bird returned to its zookeeper for a feed but minutes later Marnie launched into a full-blown attack of Jacobs from behind, pinning him to a wall and pecking repeatedly at his backside.

"Let me go," Jacobs cried out before the zookeeper pulled the bird away.

The Nine Network presenter broke into a fit of laughter after the harmless pecking and joked that he would be "mentally scarred" by the incident.

"Its beak can fit more than its belly can, I'll tell you what," he said.

TODAY host Karl Stefanovic quipped from the studio: "It's not the first time you've been pinched in the butt by a bird," he said.

 

WOULD EDWARD EAT THIS PELICAN?

 

OMG SORRY I CAN'T STOP LOLING.

Are we still doing that fic rec thing?

Wednesday February 3, 2010 at 4:28 PM

I thought we use to always to a rec post on Tuesdays? editing to say I just realized it's Wednesday. I think someone slipped me some of Paunchward's magic mushrooms. Maybe I'm wrong. But anyone who wants to rec, rec here. I have two for you this week.

First, we have a story from our own Grown.Ass.Woman. You know, that camper whose posts you're better off reading once you have a Depends firmly in place? Yeah, she's got an interesting little story coming along; she just posted chapter 4. Get in on the ground floor, folks, and enjoy the ride.

ALL AT ONCE  http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5683993/1/All_At_Once  Edward had it all: beautiful wife, great kids, promising career. He was content, until a chance meeting changed everything. Happily ever after isn’t always what it seems. 

and a new story I just started reading today. Please don't let the T-rating turn you off. It's really a sweet little thing, and very well-written.

AN INTRODUCTION TO SWIRL AND DAISY  http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5642262/1/An_Introduction_to_Swirl_and_Daisy   A first kiss, a first dance, a first curse word shared between best friends. This is the tale of a boring young geek and the social pariah who thought the world of him. A tale of growing up. A tale of a Non-Romantic Romance.

 

 RANGER EDIT: The Pimp Post will go up in a little while. Let Emibella get her Lasagna in the oven, k?

Epic Duh

Wednesday February 3, 2010 at 3:41 PM

What was your moment of epic duh?
 
I don't mean a most embarrassing moment, because that usually indicates it was a public embarrassment, and this could just be something that went on in your head.
 
When did you totally miss the boat on something?
 
I'll go first, of course.
 
We read Anthem in tenth grade. Now, I was never your conscientious student (though I somehow always made the honor roll . . . I think they just picked grades out of a hat or something). We'd get a reading assignment, and I'd either skip it entirely or read it in a huge rush just before class.
 
Add that to the fact that I didn't give two shits about that book, and . . . a few minor details might have been missed. So, you know, a few weeks went by, we had quizzes, a test, and a final paper on the topic . . . I don't know at what point it became clear to me that Equality was one guy. All that we-ing left me with a mental picture of, IDK, a set of triplets? Or maybe they just threw three kids together in groups so no one would get EGOTISTICAL.
 
Like I said, I don't remember when the light dawned, but it was after I wrote the final paper, and not only did said final paper get an A, the teacher included it with a few others to send to the Nat'l Ayn Rand Essay Contest.
 
I guess I just never had occasion to say, "Then the triplets met another set of triplets and they all somehow managed to fall in love with each other and not fight over who had the prettiest woman." So I escaped public ridicule on my fail moment.
 
There have been others -- for years I was convinced that Piglet and Rabbit from Winnie the Pooh were girls, for instance. But nothing like the Anthem thing.
 
What was yours?

It's my birthday...

Wednesday February 3, 2010 at 2:58 PM

...and I'll start a campfire if I wanna. First time campfire, longtime camper. I thought 34 candles on my frosted cookies would make a nice little campfire in the forest. And heck, maybe if we're loud enough some of the Cullens, Hales, McCartys and/or Robert Pattinsons will come out of hiding and join us. That would make my birthday splendiforous, no? Yes! Here's a list of supplies:

Bella: Ingredients for smores, and your shield so no one knows what we're getting up to.

Edward: Read my mind for what you can bring, winkwink bb.

Alice: Look into the future and see what we need. Perhaps something for me to wear...or not.

Jasper: Serenity NOW!

Rosalie: A necklace, that Alice picked out.

Emmett Cullen: Irritable gummi bears

Emmett McCarty: Yourself, because we can always use another Emmett to keep the party goin'  on.

RobertPattinson: Some burgers for the other campers, since you know where to find some everywhere you go.

Other party people: Man candy, lots and lots o' man candy!

   TO ME!!!!

Start Me Off Right!

Wednesday February 3, 2010 at 8:03 AM

I'm not flouncing the Twi fandom by any means, but I'm starting to get bored with most some of the fanfic's out there.

So I would love some suggestions on Bones and HP fics! What are your fave fics or some fics that are great for starting into that fandom? 

I should add I have not read HP Deathly Hallows yet...I'm shocked the hubs hasn't divorced me for it yet (although he didn't leave me when I told him I had never seen Top Gun, so I think I'm good). 

Here's some honey to sweeten the deal:

 

 

 

I'm still working on the sizing of the pics.

The Day The Music Died

Wednesday February 3, 2010 at 6:26 AM

On February 3, 1959, Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and the Big Bopper died in a plane crash. They made great music and the world lost some wonderful talent that day. Let's honor their memory by posting their songs and your other favorites from the 50s. We know Edward would approve, as one of his favorite musical decades was the 50s!

PerfectMeadow

Wow, it's late....

Wednesday February 3, 2010 at 2:59 AM

I've been devouring Finding Himself by Minisinoo. Fantastic btw.   

 

While reading I was wondering if people flock to/write Twilight FF because so much feels under developed?   

The HP universe is sooooo fleshed out, it must be really hard for authors to keep a similar tone/quality of work.

I mean Twi is just so undefined, it can be anything.  

Why isn't HP FF more popular?

Wider fan base don't ya think? More mass appeal overall I say.  Too *done* maybe?  

(I'm pretty sure I've read here at ADF HP FF doesn't get nearly the reviews Twi-FF does, but correct me if I'm wrong.)    

Mind you this story is the only non-Twilight FF I've ever read, and hell it's almost 4 am.  I'm probably rambling.

But Damn.

Cedric/Hermione might be my new OTP. 

So have a pic for reading: 

(Ced says, "Hullo.")

Think about why Twilight FF is freakin' outta control...

Let me know if there's another fandom I should try out...

Tell me who your HP OTP is...because I seriously never even thought beyond H/Hr

And while you contemplate the complexities of the universe...

I'll try and get some sleep. Geesh.

Sticking my marshmallow in the fire...

Tuesday February 2, 2010 at 10:28 PM

Ugh. I hate being the newbie. I always am though. Oh well.

This is my first post ever at ADF. *tosses confetti*

I've been lurking for a bit, but I'm so busy that I don't have much time online, and I feel guilty for not participating; however, a lot of comments I have received at my fics said they heard about me over here, so I feel an official "Thank you" to you all was long overdue.

About me:
Lisa (LASMKE at FFn and LJ)

age = 28

other interesting facts = I find humor in EVERYTHING. Seriously... e-v-e-r-ything. Ummmm, I have a near crippling love for David Tennant and oddly, Christian Slater. 

Reasons I  avoid posting... I tend to find myself funnier than others. I've learned that my snark and sarcasm is not universally appreciated, so I leave tons of comments - in my head, and not actually in a campfire. That, and, I randomly quote movies and tv shows, but no one gets it. Sigh. 

*clears throat and stands, Hello, my name is Lisa and I'm a ficaholic*

Listens for collective "hello, Lisa"

 

(I'd tag this, but since I'm still stumbling through this site and have not found a tags list, I'll, uh, skip that part ok? Oooohkay then. thanks)
