Bird Watching - 05/09/2007

God bless the parents of this beautiful child for teaching him the value of expressing himself at such a young age.

In sixteen years that bottle won't have milk in it. But the finger and expression will still be the same.

Bird Watching - 04/24/2007

Hey! Tough guy! You lookin' at me? YOU LOOKIN' AT ME!?!?

Oh...that's for the person over my shoulder? Well, I'll move out of the way then.

What's better than having a bartender flip you off? Having the beer delivery guy flip you off.

Go to the source, I always say. Go to the source.

This fellow just earned his citizenship and he's celebrating by flipping me off. That's the beauty of being an American! And immediately after this photo was taken we handed him a gun, shipped him over-seas and told him to get to work protecting this great nation of ours. Thanks, pal!

"What is this? What could I do with it? How could I possibly use this one small thing to communicate to the world how I feel about it? Ooooohhhhh...I've got an idea!"

Bird Watching Video

Few people know where most of my bird watching takes place. This fellow does. So today not only marks the first ever reader submitted bird watching, but also the first ever video bird watching. It also marks the first time I've ever tried Ethiopian food, but that's really neither here nor there.

This is the first in a [hopefully] long line of reader submitted bird watching and I have to say that it brings a tear to my eye every time I look at it. Sure, it's one thing for people I know to flip me off, but it's completely different to have a total stranger flipping me off. Kinda like church.

Remember, you too can submit your bird watching photos by sending an e-mail to theunpleasantness@yahoo.com!

Bird Watching - 04/17/2007

My how time flies. Here I am waking up this morning, thinking it's Monday, all set to put up the first Bird Watching post of the week. Then I realize it's actually Tuesday! And I have no idea where it is I'm waking up! Or where my pants are! Or why all those studio lights are shining down on me! And what in the world is that stain?

Bird Watching - 04/13/2007

If there's one way you can piss off a restaurant manager, it's by asking her if you can do something that's normally against the rules and following it up with "we do spend a lot of money here." Another way to do it is by asking "do you know who I am?" But the best way of doing it is by impersonating a famous food critic, ordering everything on the menu and yelling "merde!" after each bite.

How, you may ask, does one impersonate a food critic? Monocles. It's all about the monocles. And if you wear two, then you obviously mean business.

Black nail polish? Dang...you just know she means it! Black always shows someone means it. That's why I'm so proud to have a heart made of cold, black stone. And sugardrops!

Never before in the history of bird watching has someone meant it as much as she does. They always say there's some truth to every joke. Do you know what else there's always some truth to? Truth. So sayeth The Unpleasantness.

Bird Watching - 04/10/2007


This guy insisted on not only giving me the finger, but then showing me all five...one for each member of my family. Even though he thinks he's being funny, what he's really doing is forcing me to have flashbacks to the backhands my father used to give me to "build character." Build character my ass! All they did was make me a bitter man unable to have healthy relationships. But I can take a punch. Come on. I dare you!

Fun Fact!
Did you know that gay bartenders are the best bartenders ever? That's because their limp-wristed pouring action in combination with the weight of the bottle results in gravity taking over and some of the best pours around. Don't believe me? Take a look at the pour below. That's a bourbon...neat. Oh yeah.


So tip your gay bartenders well. And keep hoping that your straight bartenders switch teams!

This guy is a good friend and a former bartender, which is actually kind of redundant. If you think about it, "good friend" is also sort of redundant. I mean, if you had a "bad" friend, wouldn't that be an enemy? And if you really think about what a bartender does to you, wouldn't that make him your enemy? Which means this guy isn't a good friend at all!

Holy crap! I just blew my mind!

You're getting a two-fer today because I neglected my bird watching duties yesterday. But give me a break. Being a superstar secret agent male model executive chef stud isn't all fun and games. Sometimes it's just fun. And games.

Many years ago I worked for this guy. Whenever I asked him for a raise, this was his response. It was also his response when I would ask him if he wanted cream or sugar in his coffee, or if he would sign off on my expense reports. Man, those were some good times!

Some people are ashamed to be seen on The Unpleasantness because the content of the site isn't necessarily family friendly. This fellow is ashamed for an entire set of other reasons, not the least of which is his pink shirt.

Oh, and that guy flipping the bird and holding the drink? In Mexico he's a very famous porn star. And superhero. And drunk. Usually all at the same time.

What happens when you meet some strange guy in a bar, feed him vast amounts of alcohol, invite him into your home and leave the medicine cabinet unlocked? Frankly, I have no idea. But the friend of mine who left me his keys to his apartment over the weekend should be finding out just...about...now.

Such determination is rarely seen in bird watching, but I gotta admit this guy really means it. Immediately after this picture was taken, he turned around and slayed that giant behind him.

They call this guy "Neck," supposedly because he doesn't have one. Based on that naming convention, people should start calling me "Morals." Or "Common Sense." Or "Hygiene." Any one of 'em will work.

If you've gotten this far, congratulations. You can read more by going to the archives. Or you can just imagine what else might be here without clicking anything. Might I recommend a fine bottle of bourbon to accompany your fantasies? I thought so.
