DISCLAIMER - I am not planning on fighting a pelican.

there’s a brown pelican that hangs out on the railing of a very narrow portion of a boardwalk nearby. the only reason it makes me nervous is because it’s huge, but their nails look short, and their beaks are pointed, but curved downwards so they would have to try to bite me with that long thing instead of pecking me.

like, if a bird capable of clawing or eating my eyes out attacked my face, I’d honestly have no qualms about killing it immediately. but if I ever get attacked by a pelican, it looks like I could just kind of hold it off without having to hurt it. am I right in that?

    Dude, I’m not even Catholic, but I went to Catholic school, and all during Lent every single lunch was fish on Friday, and the freaking fire departments had fish fry Fridays randomly throughout the year.

    True it isn’t the entire year, but during Lent there is absolutely a proscription against eating meat on Friday, except fish.
