When you're climbing up a huge hill and it's friggin' hot and you feel like you're going to pass out, what always seem to be circling overhead waiting for your final gack?

We do our spin classes outside, and this morning there were 2 huge vultures circling overhead. Disconcerting.

We have a similar concept in my mountain biking group (being eaten by an animal in nature). We often ride with one really slow guy named Phil. When we see a bobcat or worry about a wild animal chasing us, we say that we don't have to be faster than the bobcat, we just have to be faster than Phil.

Ummmm...maybe if you rode somewhere where there were buzzards. That'd be like calling the American bison a "buffalo". Not quite right. But I'm sure you know that.

Eagles are largely scavengers, too. How about "eagle chow"? Eagles have a better reputation than TVs, even though they often hang out together (goldens and TVs). It just sounds more classy.

How about "condor carrion?" Okay, okay, there are no condors in my area, but I grew up just a short flight away from the Sespe.
(Yep, didn't take it as a snotty remark as you know I would have said the same thing. Don't know my winged-LBJs but I somewhat know my quadrapedal BBJs. )

When I was on Kodiak Island, the lady showing us around called the eagles garbage birds! Originally Posted by yellow
