@doctorfollowill So sorry St. Louis. We had to bail, pigeons shitting in jareds mouth. Too unsanitary to continue.

@doctorfollowill Don’t take it out on Jared, it’s the fucking venues fault. You may enjoy being shit on but we don’t. Sorry for all who traveled many miles.

Translation: A pigeon shit in bassist Jared Followill’s mouth. Now, this seems preposterous - except Hardy also said that opening band the Postelles dedicated a song “to our bassist, who just got shat on.”

Justin Burnett, 31, of Manchester, Missouri, confirmed Hardy’s observation - and noted that the Stills’ bassist, Oliver Corbeil, was also hit by what appeared to be bird shit. Burnett was in the front row, directly in front of Kings of Leon vocalist Caleb Followill, and said that the creature was in the rafters of the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater.

“It was so high up you couldn’t see it, but it was definitely a bird,” Burnett says. “And not to be gross, but when a pigeon shits, it comes out as a long line, and it’s very noticeable. We thought it was water at first, and when the opening act commented on being shat on, we knew it was a bird.”

I don’t understand why the headline to this story isn’t Pigeon Saves The Day but I guess everyone wants to put a negative spin on everything these days.

Sorry, TJ.

Don’t laugh at that. That’s not funny.

Today I discovered that there’s a Twitter account called The_Pigeon.

What’s worse is that this is a screenshot of “The Pigeon“‘s website.

I call that design “I pooped in your eye.”

I put out an appeal not long ago to see if I could find an iPhone 2G that was just sitting in a drawer somewhere because The Wife’s has been acting up, and, well, this is a dumb time to buy an iPhone since a new one is expected by pretty much everyone “soon”.

Jim Ray sent me his 2G (which looks almost brand new) and I am syncing it to iTunes as we speak. Well, as I speak. Well, we aren’t really speaking at all, I’m typing and you’re reading. Well, I mean, you will, eventually. What were we talking about? Oh yeah, iTunes.

Jim renamed the iPhone “pigeon” before sending it along, which was very clever of him. Either that or it was always named “pigeon” which is a little weird.

Anyway, I caught this screenshot of the game Bastard Pigeon being sync’d to my iPhone named ‘pigeon’ and thought I’d share it with you.

You’ll note that they call it “Bast * Pigeon” presumably so the name will fit under the icon when it is displayed on the iPhone, and also perhaps as a minor bit of censorship. (We’ve already taught The Boy to refer to it as ‘Bad Word Pigeon’ instead of its ‘official’ name.)

BTW I will be reviewing Bastard Pigeon for TUAW soon enough, but my summary review is this: 99¢ to fly a pigeon and score points by pooping on people and cars? Totally worth it. The sound effects of people screaming as they get hit? Just a bonus.

First they came for the pigeons…

Pigeon held on suspicion of spying

Indian police are holding a pigeon under armed guard after it was caught on an alleged spying mission for arch rival and neighbour Pakistan.

The white-coloured bird was found by a local resident in India’s Punjab state, which borders Pakistan, and taken to a police station 40km from the capital Amritsar.

The pigeon had a ring around its foot and a Pakistani phone number and address stamped on its body in red ink.

Police officer Ramdas Jagjit Singh Chahal told the Press Trust of India (PTI) news agency that they suspected the pigeon may have landed on Indian soil from Pakistan with a message, although no trace of a note has been found.

Officials have directed that no one should be allowed to visit the pigeon, which police say may have been on a “special mission of spying”.

No words…
