The Crazy Rants of Samantha Burns

We here in Nottingham England have Canadian geese on our Trent embankment..The shit a lot and piss folk off who are trying to find a place on the grass to sit!..Me i ain't fussed about um but i do like the idea of that Fabio copping one in the face..

Have a good one!

Why does everyone get a kick out of poor Fabio's tragedy? His likeness helped spur sales of countless romance novels by sub-par writers. His presence on a book cover was supposed to help put money in writer's pockets while lining his own.

Fabio is the struggling author's champion.

The blogosphere already contains many bloggers who may benefit from a Fabio cover image.

Examples here:http://www.fabioifc.com/fabio/FABIO_PHOTOS.html

If bloggers were in the same boat as struggling historical romance authors, every third blog you visit might soon be plastered with Fabio art.

But what sort of PR guy invented the Fabio name? Or did his first photo-shoot go something like this:

'Artsy' Photographer:
"Ok. Now hold it...yes...ah perfect, yes, yes Hey Fabio. Go bring me my other camera!"

Unknown model:
"Fabio? Oh is that like Italian for Fabulous?"

'Artsy' Photographer:
"No..Fabio is my assistant. He sets up the lights and holds up that reflector screen."

Unknown model:
"Fabio. Hmmmmmm. Hey...that'd make a good stage name. Fabio. Yeah! I like it. Fab-eee-ooohh. From now on, call me Fabio!"

Assistant:
"Mamma Mia!"

The rest as they say is history.

Yes it is easy to get a cheap laugh from at Fabio's expense. But before you do, ask yourself this:

How many poor and untalented blog authors will now have to fend on their own blogs merits now that poor Fabio's face has been horribly disfigured by these socialistic Canadian geese?

ha! I've seen video of that. I laughed soooo hard.

I am an avid reader. I will read almost anything except romance novels. I'd rather flip through the phone book. ^5 to the goose!

"shot it dead" No offence if you wrote this sam but I can't stand this saying. It should be "shot it" if you killed it and "shot at it and missed because you shoot worse than my wife after a case of beer." That's much better, anyway if you shot at it and missed your probably work at a PETA shelter anyway. F$#!ing P#$$y! What were we talking about again?

Jeff - I had to write it that way for those who would have said, "oh, the poor birdy. Did it live?" And, I know there are some out there like that; but I like your second suggestion there, only people would be wondering about it if I said the "wife" part, lol.

The geese you refer to in this post are Canada Geese, not Canadian geese.

It seems a fine point to me, but apparently the Canadians want us to understand that they are not sending their geese down here, but rather a type of goose called Canada goose has made it here on its own.

I still don't quite get the Canada/Canadian distinction, but it seems important to them.

Suzette - na, they're Canadian. We just want you all to believe they aren't from Canada when actually they are our secret army force. If wondering about Canada's secret mission, refer to the whistle blower article in this site; the attacking geese are an alternate plan.
