So I went to the Lincoln Park Zoo here in Chicago today. I was walking next to the Swan pond toward the reptile house when I was violently attacked by a bird. It kept dive-bombing me and ripping out my hair (surely for a now fabulous, soft, chemically untreated nest). That didn't really bother me that much. What bothered me was the couple behind me that immediately pulled out their video camera and started filming me and cracking up. So I pointed above them and yelled "Look out!" and the wife fell to the ground. Of course there was nothing there, but it diverted their attention long enough for me to run and hide.

I'm not sure which is funnier you being attacked or the wife 'hittin' the deck!'.
I'd say the latter...

I seriously wanted to smack the fuck out of her. The second it started happening i turned around and yelled, "What the hell is that?!" Her and her husband started laughing and whispering to each other while she scrambled to start the camera.
The bird was hitting me so fast I couldn't look up.

I stayed in the reptile house until they closed 30 minutes later. When they kicked me out I ran from canopy to canopy like I was being tracked by some hidden sniper.

But then I thought, "I can't be afraid to go outside anymore because if I am, then the birds have won."

The REALLY fucked up thing is that I'm slightly agoraphobic, and have let it get the better of me lately. My outing to the zoo and conservatory today was to try and break this terrible habit of not leaving my house unless I absolutely have to.

Crazy. I was walking through the Lincoln Park Zoo on Mother's Day and saw an elephant take a big wet dump right in front of a whole crowd of kids and mothers.
The glee and joy I felt witnessing that was in some ways better than sex.

ha ha..I was attached by a bird at the street corner of Lincoln and Wilshire (in Santa Monica) as well as some of the people I worked with back then.
Must be the curse of Abe Lincoln...he was assasinated, you know...by a man with bird legs...

Y'know birds are the descendants of dinosaurs. So you were stalked like Tia in Lost World by Velocarapters
