I disagree with you
There is a species called Canada Geese, and they range through out North America and northern Europe. Geese of any species hatched and raised in Canada would be Canadian Geese.
if only this were a goose version of this gif:

Lots of bird people get pissy about this, also about the word "Seagull." Doesn't bother me though, I am usually just happy that people are talking about birds at all.

OK, I'll bite - what's wrong with "Seagull"?

Guessing it's technically just a "gull" and prob more specific kinds of gulls.

because Searat is the more appropriate term

cookout = blabbermouth?
No such thing. There are Herring Gulls, ring billed gulls, black backed gulls, laughing gulls, Glaucous winged gulls...but no sea gulls.
I wish they all could be California gulls.
In California there are California Gulls, Western Gulls, Heerman’s Gulls, Mew Gulls, Bonaparte’s Gulls (they are very small gulls), Black legged kittiwakes, and several more. All Californian gulls but only some are California Gulls.

I’m sure this has been covered, but people who drive slowly in the left lane with other cars behind them.

Again, the fucking PP boards. I've been told that I'm banned for a month, year, and ten years by various mods. And it's radio silence from some of them. Fuck me.

And shit all over my golf course.
There is a golf course near Valley Forge called General Washington. I think it's the 15th hole (haven't played there in 35+ years). It's a dogleg to the right. You could cut off about 50-70 yards by playing just inside the tree (and pond). The problem is if you went too far right you could be under a tree or in the water. The other problem was the geese and the goose shit.
Geese are not nice birds.

Tore into one of the staff reporters for having VIP posts littering the public board. They showed up as an ad to buy a subscription. He tried to throw a sympathy card down, which I knocked off the table. I'm still getting no replies from the mods I've contacted.
This was all in PM, and not on the boards, so revoking my posting privileges is kinda dumb.
Is it the geese’s fault that someone built a golf course through their latrine?
Hey Birdman - some golf courses supposedly get swans to hang around their ponds and chase off the geese - it is true that swans and geese don't get along and that the geese will leave? Are swans territorial or something?
