Jesus, it took me about three readings of your post to realize you meant you thought there was a crime in process right then, not that you’d heard allegations that someone was suspected of child murder and just decided to go after him. ('cuz I read good)
So, uh, I almost flamed a guy who I thought was a vigilante, because he thought a peacock was a child murderer. Huh. What complicated webs we weave.

Oh sure. Like roaming the neighborhood at night with a baseball bat and flashlight is a bad thing now.
[QUOTE=danceswithcats]
Sure. Discriminate against the peacocks. They can’t have bats and flashlights, because they don’t have opposable thumbs.

Yes, but if they had opposible thumbs, then they’d annoy our feline overlords.
[QUOTE=danceswithcats] You just can’t make up shit like that. This isn’t a RO thread, so take that dog home, already. Unfortunately, they haven’t apprehended this dickhead, so we don’t know what his basic malfunction is. I’m going to guess that he’s either a drug user, or is a toy shy of a Happy Meal and was off his meds. In either event, injure yourself next time, fuckwit, and leave the critters alone.

Umm, can you cut and paste a few relevant paragraphs so I can also know wht the fuck you are ranting about?
Um… yeah? That’s usually the way that works, isn’t it? Thank you, Associated Press, for that insightful detail.

So that’s why those peacock eggs tasted so strange.
It was spelled “Malik Taus” when Robert E. Howard (and other pulp writers in that Kalem circle) used it back in the 30’s. That’s probably where Alan Moore got it from, even if he mangled the spelling.
Having spent a good portion of my childhood getting chased by evil, evil peacocks trying to peck me while visiting my grandparents’, I for one believe the guy. I wouldn’t be at all surprised that the peacock was a vampire. They’re evil, evil creatures. (“poor, defenseless” my ass. those birds are mean)
… although I’d imagine one would look mighty odd with fangs.

My mum used to keep peacocks. They are evil bastards, and by fuck they’re loud bastards at 6 in the morning as well.
In other news, the body of the euthanized peacock has mysteriously vanished, and all other animals at the shelter have come down with pernicious anemia.

Iron-deficiency anemia, surely…or does a vampiric peacock drain intrinsic factor?
