Gustav Says...


Summer ain't over until I say so.
Now back off before I bite you in the knee cap. Or worse.
It's time for my daily dip in the pool.
- G.

For more attitude from Gustav, my mother's killer goose, visit him on Facebook by doing a search for Gustav (no "e") and selecting the beast that resembles the nightmare above.  He's listed as a "public figure," but really he's a public nuisance.

  1. A lot of public figures are a public nuisance. The present Prime Minister of Canada is a prime example. Gustav looks a lot less dangerous, not to mention a whole lot cuter.

  2. I don't even want to know what or who he's telling off in that photo...I'm scared of a big white goose-devil. There - I said it.

    wv: dothst- why dothst that Gustav try to nip everyone and everything in his path?

  3. Kay-Gustav might look a lot less dangerous, but looks can be deceiving. (You won't find cute anywhere in the list of words I'd use to describe him, but I'm sure my mother would agree with you.)

    deborah-He's telling off the calendar, which officially declared summer to be over. But, he was headed to bite me, as he always does whenever I set foot in his yard.

  4. But we all love him just the same. And I think I may have had his uncle spread on some toast points while in Italy....

  5. I was merely saying, "I think I'd like some gaspacho," but as usual you humans have read me ALL WRONG. Just for that I'm gonna bite your tushy, Horrible Woman Next Door. Fair warning.

    And after you get done doing...whatever it is you do at THIS joint...swing by my Facebook fan page and give this photo it's PROPER title. HISSSSSSSSS.

  6. Gustav the Magnificent? Can't write - choking with laughter.

    Yo, Mr. Magnifico. You come near me and I'll use you as the main ingredient in my new favorite: goosepacho.

  7. The fact that I'd rather have an on-line conversation with a goose than do all the work on my To Do list is mildly disturbing. But only mildly.

  8. What would you have a vigilant watch-goose to do, who is charged with discouraging Jehovas's Witnesses, et al? The cost of freedom is eternal vigilance, no? Your honors, we rest our case.

  9. Hi, Mumma.

    Mother Theresa, Jehovahs Witnesses, innocent young grandchildren, butterflies and puppy dogs--it's all the same to that goose. Charge, hiss, and bite. Rinse, repeat.

  10. He's a GOOSE, not Albert Einstein.

  11. I'll tell you who else isn't an Einstein - yours truly. Just realized I'd referenced a "google search" when describing how to find Gustav on Facebook. Google has nothing to do with anything (just corrected the post).

    Just get on Facebook and search for Gustav without the "e" and select Public Enemy #1, the killer goose never to be confused with Einstein. Or cute.

  13. mer - Touche'.

    The thing is, I am willing to extend the olive branch to this goose, but there is no reciprocity.

    Therefore, I'm pressing the rewind button on one of your previous selections, Psycho Killer.

  15. mer-far - No worries, the other Anonymous comment was my mother, who is very protective of her killer goose. She and I have years of bantering experience under our belt, especially regarding Gustav...before that there was Ralph another killer goose, but that's a story for another time.

    You have to tell me what the "mer" stands for, I can't figure it out and have been guessing for days now. It's driving me crazy - it's not a very long drive.
