Go fly a kite, you woodpecking vulture. I'm not gullible and I'm not showing off my titmouse.

Good thing it's a small enough town that the new owners won't have to worry about people robin it.

It's difficult when you have to be the early bird to get in on these puns.

James Lileks did a Link (new window)page on this place, it's a wonderland of tacky shag carpet, and shattered honeymoon dreams.

Is there a petrel station across the street?

I'm glad all these puns aren't making anyone bittern.

This is hilarious. I assumed it was some other restaurant, and I was going to post a picture of The Gobbler as an obscure joke. I thought they'd torn The Gobbler down years ago! :D

I wouldn't say TG actually looks like a bird, though. And it's a hotel too. Very ugly, regardless.
 
2009-12-12 01:00:51 AM
I'm robin someone elses' puns, but who will grouse? Sure, some of them will be turkeys, but I bet everyone will be chicken to call me out. I could be wrong; I could end up eating crow or with egg on my face, but I've hatched my plan and I'm ready to take wing. Wait, are these supposed to be puns or just bird references? I'm I acting like a bird brain? I'm going to get my tail feathers out of here.
 
2009-12-12 01:05:53 AM
Suck a dick UPI, you asshats always report on things that need picture but you fail to ever include one with TFA.

OMG -- It's the Gobbler!

lileks.com

The future has landed, and it's delicious! This brochure illustration shows the Gobbler Supper Club, which was one of the most elaborately empurpled structures ever conceived by the mind of man. I have no idea what that mast is intended to do - if it has a siren, it would nice to think they didn't just blow it during tornado warnings, but every time Happy Hour kicked in.

I know people here read James Lileks. I can't believe no one brought this up yet. An entire section of "The Institute of Official Cheer" is devoted to the Gobbler.

This Sunday, the Falcons play the Saints and the Ravens play the Lions. And the Hawks play the Nets.

Got nuthin, but this thread is kinda funny

I'm not too good with puns, but albatross a few out.

Reading all of geese puns is becoming very un-pheasant. Most of them are terrible, but I must admit that some seem to be inspired from God up a dove.

Okay, so maybe those weren't so great. But hey, a pelican try, can't he? But then a guinea, maybe he shouldn't. Please don't snipe at me. You'll get plover it. I just wanted to prove that you bustards aren't the only ones who can shiat on this thread. I can cockatoo.

Alright, I'm done now. I need some cigs, so I'm going to run to the stork. Then I'm gonna watch TV, because my favorite show swan in a half hour, and there's a full loon out tonight.

It will be a shame if the buyer doesn't preserve it's heritage. I'm finding the cardinal rules of our society being pecked away at by vulture like conglomerates which nest in our society. They preen the polycotton fake down pillows and provide a static, stoic environment that is consistent from location to location for the migratory flocks of wary travelers. Everything is designed to be as effecient as shiat through a goose, with little consideration for the nostalgia and novelty of traveling itself.

I would dove to see places like this continue to be able to provide a warm and comfortable place for dreams and memories to incubate. It's timed like these that I egret the fact that little businesses sren't sllowed to spread their wings in times of eceonomic strife. It's always the ugly duckling that get's left behind.

It's a foul statement about our society as a whole. To me the holiday inn just doesn't have the appeal that a strange 60's place would have for an adventeruos bout of twitterpation for young experimental lovers. I support free range humanity instead of storage in corporate chicken coups.
