If you feed a pigeon bacon...

Hey guys,

I guess this one needs a lot of explaining. So, I'm hopping at you from
the finale of my Topdeck tour in Venice (I'll backtrack in the next blog
and video), but I just thought this was too bizarre.
Darren, Dan, Andrew, and I all went out to eat at this great Italian
cafeteria, and it occurred to us that we needed to get the true Venetian
experience and feed those pigeons!

In case you were unaware, these pigeons are ridiculous creatures who
flit and flutter in every direction at all times. Watch your heads, they
will land on you and attack you. (A bit exaggerated - but they're along
the lines of the Hitchcock film "The Birds".) They are actually like
this because they were fed contraceptives back in the day to keep them
from reproducing too rapidly.

Back to our story, though. So we decided, these birds have had enough
seed. Let's see what they think of people food! Darren had a piece of
meat wrapped in bacon that seemed to be suitable for pigeon consumption
and well, just watch the rest. Between the crazy little Italian boys,
hostile seagulls, and flock of pigeons - calamity did ensue.
Undoubtedly.

Hit me up in the "Ask Pat" section if you'd like to ask me questions about my crazy adventures. I'll fill you in when I have internet access...the middle of the jungle doesnt have broadband...wtf?
