Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a warp pipe to find. . .

My little Warhawks of the sky (hummingbirds) are back. Funny as this might sound, I recognize two of them and they know me. The first one back came straight to where I kept the feeder last year, but it wasn't there yet. Then he flew right in my face to let me know I was slacking on my jobe of making nectar. Off I ran into the kitchen to find the feeder and make him sugar water. Never piss off a hungry hummingbird, they will kick your azz! Now, I have five, maybe six hummingbirds.

I opened my front door a few mornings ago, and found this atop my door wreath! The bird made a mess with mud and twigs everywhere. I felt horrible about movng it, but I had no choice. I moved it to a tree and the nest was taken over by a new bird. Had an encounter with another robin, too, and that robin won. Every time I walk near that darn nest, I get this crazy bird dive-bombing my head. I stay clear of that nest now.

Been bike riding every chance I get before it gets too hot. I enjoy all the flowers while running from the bees. I had to convince everyone to go a bit farther than they wanted to. Then it decided to rain and hard. So all the way back home in the pouring rain, I had to hear all about it.....Wusses....lol......and I had it the worst, cause I was the only nut in shorts.

I keep getting asked this question. I guess I should explain to y'all that want to know.

My original sign off...."Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a warp pipe to find .  .  ."

I'm old school. You old Mario schoolers know about "warping" already. One of my old favorites is Super Mario Bros III, but most of the Mario Bros games are great.

Started using the quote at another game site about 10 years ago. It just grew from there. It's a Mario thing. He's always jumpin' down pipes and looking for the ever elusive warp zone. I change it up depending how I'm feeling, just to goof off, or to get a point across.
