Hard to get mad at this little guy. He may have a career ahead of him as a politician. ;-)


BBC NEWS | UK | Scotland | North East/N Isles | Seagull becomes crisp shoplifter
"A seagull has turned shoplifter by wandering into a shop and helping itself to crisps.

The bird walks into the RS McColl newsagents in Aberdeen when the door is open and makes off with cheese Doritos.

The seagull, nicknamed Sam, has now become so popular that locals have started paying for his crisps.

Shop assistant Sriaram Nagarajan said: "Everyone is amazed by the seagull. For some reason he only takes that one particular kind of crisps.""

Seagulls only know how to do two things in life: steal food and crap on you. F***ing seagulls.

Any ramblings are entirely my own, and do not represent those of my employers, coworkers, friends, or species

That isn't as cool as the cat in China that takes the bus on its own each day.

People ask me why I don't like seagulls and my response is usually, "They squawk, **** and steal my french fries."
I like my water with hops, malt, hops, yeast, and hops.

I have never felt closer to you than I do right now.

I think that came out a little gayer than I meant it...

Chips are fries, as in Fish n' Chips. So they call potato chips crisps.
