Robins and Bluejays

Sounds like a job for Photoshop…who knows, you could end up on Snopes!

Try telling the relatives who spew this crap “Oh yeah, that’s right! And white pigeons don’t mate with black pigeons either, and yellow chickens don’t mate with brown ones! Oh wait, yes they do, you stupid bigoted dumbfuck.” Your dumbfuck relatives may not become enlightened, but you’ll probably feel better.

Is this the right thread to bitch about that damn robin that starts singing outside my window at 4:45AM? Curse you, early bird!

It’s looking for a mate. Up to now it’s only met bluebirds.

Is it a proverbial saying in some language – Korean perhaps? I’ve never heard anyone say it in English or German.

Racist.

This is a great idea you have: Mate robins and blue jays. Add a white bird to the gene pool and get a star-spangled starling.

Bluejay.

Bluebirds are kindly, little, sweet-singing creatures. Not like those cruel and evil blue jays.

So, anyway, feel free to go out and hump all the bluebirds you’d like.

No offense, Monty, but is that apropos of anything in particular, or are you just parodying Aeschines?

groan

Tri-color tit?

Patriotic pigeon?

I already made it clear in this thread what it’s apropros. To expand: I just spent 3 weeks of my vacation in the US and ten days of it were with relatives in Dixe. I got to hear the comment from my relatives there as they’re very afraid I’ll marry someone here (I live in Korea) or maybe someone of a different race back in the US. These relatives are racists, although they deny they are. It’s a racist comment meaning that Whites should only marry Whites, Blacks should only marry Blacks, Koreans should only marry Koreans, etc.

Yes, it’s a proverbial saying in English, specifically Dixie English. I’ve only heard it in English and never in any other language. I wouldn’t, however, be at all surprised if racists in other countries have their own particular version of this inanity.

Well given the size of a robin to that of a bluejay I reckon the jay would suck the robin in and fart him out in half inch cubes if he (the robin) ever tried his luck.

just sayin’

Oh, okay. Sorry to have overlooked the earlier explanation, and thank you for taking the time again.

Only if he’s prepared.

What if the respective genders were reversed?

Someone’s fucking birds? Ick.

Well I guess that depends on how well blessed the jay was.

Big todger…splits robin straight down the middle

Small one…“Is it in yet” quoth the robin

In today’s Deseret Morning News is this very interesting article. There are a few telling quotes in there and I’ll leave it to the reader to peruse the article at your leisure. What really impressed me the most, though, was this paragraph:

So, that means that in the South (where I grew up), 39% of the White people say “Inter-racial marriages are not acceptable.”

Cecil, you said it very well:

Too bad those statistics quoted above aren’t 100% acceptance in both the West and the South.

“Adam and Steve” would be the perfect name for a gay wedding boutique. Just sayin’.

You know, I’ve never heard that quote about robins and bluejays. You learn something new every day.
