This is to the creepy wierd balding man who resembles The Penguin in one of those batman movies, who lives in the South End. Go get a life and stop making a point to make eye contact with me and everyone else who walks by. You and your creepy pet crow are SICK. I see you standing outside your building petting it and rubbing your face all over it while it probably just wants to fly the FUCK away from you. Oh yeah and how are those weekly yard sales working out? Terrible I bet. —disgruntled passerby-er

I make eye contact with people who walk by me and smile… is that really creepy? I think it’s just the Newf/friendly person in me coming out.
Too many people are paying attention to what other people are doing, methinks. Hi, PF. 🙂
I’ve lived in South End Halifax, and have friends down there who I visit….and I have never seen or heard of the creepy crow-man or his yard sales. Where in the South End? Caw caw…
If you don’t like to be looked at, stop going outside. You’re obviously too fragile a creature for this world OP.
Sorry, OP, but
1. pet crow = awesome
…and whether it’s a pet or wild, it obviously wants hang around the man since it could walk or FLY away anytime it wanted to.
2. OH NO…not eye contact!!! Way to try to make society a little less social.
3. It sounds like YOU are choosing to walk by HIS home, and he is staying on HIS PROPERTY. Do you also complain about doggie doo you see and decide to step in anyway?
You know what I like? I like that I can walk down the street, make eye-contact & say hi to people, and get a hi back. It’s just one of the many joys of the small town mentality of Halifax.
I think OB would do better in a city, where anonymity is foremost, like LA. That way you woldn’t have to put up with the likes of me. Just the rest of the bullshit that goes along with big cities.
And all the other crows are saying to the one on his shoulder, where did you find that piece of shit, he’s an eyecontacter and has yard sales?

“The crows seemed to be calling his name”, thought Caw.
No, it’s not creepy, PF and I’ll bet if the guy who’s making eye contact with OP was hot, she wouldn’t be complaining.
Ooooooh he’s making eye contact with you ooooooh scum of the earth that guy is! He should be shot with a ball of his own shit! HOW DARE HE!
If he bothers you that much can’t you just choose to not make eye contact and keep going? I don’t understand why this is an issue.
I remember when I was in France and it seemed like every woman made eye contact with me whether I wanted it or not. After I got used to it I was fine. Seemed a little weird at first. I try doing it here and most look down and away, WTF?
HE MADE EYE CONTACT – THE UNMITIGATED GALL OF THAT MAN AND HIS EVIL PET!!!! SHOOT HIM AND HIS CROW WITH AN AK-47 BEFORE THEY CREEP OUT ANOTHER HUMAN BEING!!!!
@Kellis – One of my favorite Deep Thoughts. On behalf of all creepy baldies who love crows – OP – You can get knotted! Fly my evil minions and give this spacktard a good pecking. There, you been served.
A pet crow? Cool! I love crows, they are pretty and smart. I want to have a conversation with this guy!
I want a pet crow <3 I hope I see this dude!
Quoteth the raven nevermore.
Crows rule! They’re pretty smart little buggers, just love watching them do their cocking little strut like they’re saying ‘I eat pigeon testicles so fuck you, pal.’
Seriously. The guy has a PET CROW. I don’t care if he’s fat, bald, or has a friggin pegleg, this pretty much makes him a gazillion times cooler than you, OP, if not the coolest guy in the South End. Not only would I want to make eye contact with him, I would want to talk his ear off about how awesome crows are. And he has weekly yard sales too? SWEET. I would way rather have friendly and slightly eccentric people like this guy in my neighborhood than uptight judgmental assholes like you, OP. You need to get over yourself. Also, it’s “passerby”, not “passerby-er”, dummy.
Holy crap, I thought that guy was just a weird quasi-hallucination I’d had walking to school one day. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a guy standing next to a fence where a large crow was sitting. I looked again a second later and both of them were gone. As cool as the idea of a pet crow is, I have to admit that seeing a guy who actually has one was something surreal.
gee, you met augie and chloe. thought he got rid of that bird, he has had it since a cat grabbed it years ago. thing must be 10 years old by now. p.g., you would love this guy.
ooooh yucky 🙂
Pet crows are very cool.
We had one for about a year when I was a kid.
We kept it over the winter & released it the next spring. It came back for months to get a treat off the deck. By the following year it had matured & it didn’t come back.
I used to like how warm his feet were, and how he could fly from my brothers room in the basement right up the stairs to the kitchen & around the living room. Used to scare the shit out of the cat ~:)
yeah more, i had one a number of years back too. actually had 2 different ones. when i was about 12, and another when i was about 25. first one came from an egg, thought i was the mom, the other one flew under my car when i pulled in driveway. little bugger got a bit banged up, but he stayed all that winter after he got mobile again. the first one i almost had trained to talk by the way, it is a long process, don’t ever bothering to try.
That crow’s named Chloe.
Where is this guy? He sounds great. I want to meet him so he can hang out with me and my friends and go on disrespectful adventures.
I live in this building, the man you speak of is the Superintendant, and is probably one of the nicest people I have ever met. He has a permit for rehabilitating injured birds. The crow’s name is Sooky, and he was born with his feet turned in and can’t get around well/wouldn’t be able to survive on his own. Grow the hell up, and try not to judge people when you know nothing about them.
