      Fucking love seagulls. Grew up at the beach, gulls everywhere. They used to dig in our trash cans and we had to put heavy weights on the lids. Still fucking love em. They’re awesome, amazing trash birds who give zero fucks. I have seen gulls fully steal food from people’s mouths. I’ve seen them sit on windshields and refuse to move so you can drive, including just allowing the wipers to fwap into them repeatedly.

      Seagulls aren’t cunts. Seagulls serve cunt, and I love them for it.

    Wikipedia on Larus marinus, or the great black-backed gull:

    The scientific name is from Latin. Larus appears to have referred to a gull or other large seabird. The specific name marinus means “marine”, or when taken together, “sea gull”.

    If that’s not a seagull I don’t know what is.

    Why does a seagull fly over the sea?

    Because if they flew over the bay they would be bagels!

    This joke echoes in my brain thanks to this one PBS commercial break snippet from my childhood. You’re welcome
