When Gulls Attack

Uploaded: June 16, 2006

Description

Could this be the next Hitchcockian thriller with gulls threatening human existance? For years, Jaws evoked a fear of the water, but perhaps now there is just as much reason to fear the land. Don't miss this terrifying dramaa coming soon to a theater near you!!

catagory: monthly theme (motion)

Nadya Johnson June 16, 2006

Cool image, Don! They DO, you know!! Attack, that is! I got one angry at me once (I guess I should have brought more popcorn to the lake). He dove at me a couple times and pecked me on the head! It was a total spectacle; I was screaming, trying to bat him off. He got entangled in my hair, I went running, everybody stopped to stare, and in the end I should have charged admission! I tell you - never tease them with a tiny bit of popcorn; they want MORE! Hitchcock had it right: "Beware, the Angry Gull." Hope your experience was not as totally ridiculous as that! #2904010
