Attacked by ptarmigan? I didn't know they were smart enough to attack anything.

Although given the relative size of a ptarmagin to an Ellen, perhaps intelligence wasn't really part of its plan.

...sort of like Bush in Iraq, now that I think of it.

*snickers helplessly*

It wasn't exactly a planned attack, I'm sure. It was after dark, I was home alone, and I wanted an icecream bar. Our freezer is outside, so I opened up the door and startled the poor creature, who had apparently been scrounging for food by the front door. Ptarmagin are not the best of flyers, and it was pointed in my direction, so it sure felt like I was being attacked by a chicken-sized white, ghost-y, very flappy thing. I shrieked like a girl and slammed the door.

But I really wanted my ice cream, so I took some deep breaths and opened the door again. The bird had come back, so I startled it again, (this time I managed to not quite shriek) and it flew off this time. I still slammed the door and had to take more breaths before I could FINALLY go outside and get my darn ice cream bar.

Jake laughed and laughed when I told him the story! :P

... Oh! I thought it was someone's LJ handle (a friend of yours visiting) that you neglected to make into that icon thing. XD I didn't know it was an animal!

*laugh* The ptarmigan is the Alaska state bird. They're dumb, *dumb* birds.

I would rank Ice Cream, Coffee, and Chocolate (not necessarily in the given order) among the things with a pull strong enough to withstand a raging Ptarmigan... >grin
