That is, count them, 8 life birds!
Although excellent birders, the Thompson family was still trying to get the hang of their new tabletop jigsaw.
When asked why they got a Boston Terrier, the Thompson family explained that the Rottweiler they'd had previously just didn't work out.
PEACE!
Isn't that the way we used to do it?
Bird is the WORD, yo.
Whipple in the HIZ-OUSE!
We only LOOK stupid!
Except for one family in Appalachian Ohio, cases of bilateral sansdactyly are rare in the medical literature...
LOVING IT!!! Long Live Caption Contests!!

The turf war between the Whipple West Siders and the Darbyville Dorks had been brewing for some time and had already taken a hefty toll. But photos of the Whipple Crew flashing gang signs took it over the edge. Retaliation was called for!
Use of the secret hex sign is occasionally required to ward off "them" neighbors. A barking, HYPER dog would also be useful... but he isn't !
We's birders and we's cool.
"Yo, yo, yo, we ain't havin' those Eastern Bluebirds. We gots ta see those West SIIIIIIIIDE Bluebirds. 'Nocs up, birds down."
"Whipple birders, can I get a "WHAT, WHAT, WHAT, WHAAAAAT!?"
Also, how about:
"Teaching the youth of America how to throw down nerd gang signs in the woods."
Stranded in a remote area, our brave family puts cheerful smiles on their faces while desperately trying to remember which digit to extend for hitching a ride from passerby.
"We seen THIS many birdies."
Take me to your leader.
Teeching a new degeneration the would craft sign for Presidtnt. ”W”
How you hitch hike in Appalachia.
Sign language for the hooded warbler song. Wichiti, whichiti…
Snapple addiction is a terrible thing.
I vote for cyberthrush.
My verification ws "anstr" I don't no the anstr to that question.
Them Thompsons is hyper.
Is that the birder's super-top-secret way of "flipping the bird"?
I came on here with a brilliantly funny caption, read cyberthrush's, and I'm bowing out gracefully. Perfect . . .
Dude on left: "Oh look! A palette of lavender pansies painting pretty the field yon!"
Dude in back: "Skewed hat dude be making me nervous!"
Dude in front: "I need be hookin' me some new peeps into the club!"
Girl on right: "If I knew J Mac was lookin', I'd of used different fingers!"
Hey, no need to send me the BWD subscription - I already get it!

Dayam, homes. Some good shiznit here, yo.
This photo illustrates that after the economic downtown, the hand sign for "Live Free and Prosper" has declined by about 40%.
