Ha ha, my s.o. just quoted the whole above Dead Milkmen reference when I told him about the Burrowing Owl. He won't stop. I hope the owl finds a hole to burrow in, if that what he's seeking. It's a beautiful bird. The wings look ginormous.

You know that Johnny Werzner kid - the kid who delivers papers in the neighborhood? He's a fine kid. Some of the neighbors say he smokes crack, but I don't believe it. Anyway, for his 10th birthday, all he wanted was a burrow owl, just like his old man. "Dad, get me a burrow owl. I'll never ask for anything else as long as I live". So the guy breaks down and buys him a burrow owl. Anyway at 10:30 the other night I go out into my yard and there's the Werzner kid looking up in the tree. I said, "What are you looking for?" He said, "I'm looking for my burrow owl." I say, "Jumping Jesus on a pogo stick! Everybody knows that a burrow owl lives in a hole in the ground! Why the hell do you think they call it a burrow owl, anyway?!"

I am sure the homeowners will appreciate having $300,000 added to the cost of their landscaping project. Now that these guys are gone ("San Francisco's Department of Building Inspection has a history of accusations of cronyism and corruption."), who does one bribe now to take of this kind of thing?
