Do the pigs actually die in Angry Birds?

For some reason I thought that they were just knocked out or beaten up. Not that it bothered me. Then I read a review for another game on Amazon. The reviewer was apparently unable to play Angry Birds .... because they were not comfortable with the idea of killing the pigs. Yes, really.

But I guess he was OK with putting birds in a slingshot and shooting them all over the place :rolleyes:

About as deep as the meme I read that was wailing over the use of the phrase "kill two birds with one stone". "Why, " she whined, "would anyone want to kill a bird with a stone ?".

The things that make ya go "hmmmmm . . . " ?!?:rolleyes: (unfortunately for me I've actually met someone like that before)

I like the other comment about not letting that one in the lifeboat - I'd call that community service.

If you play long enough you may be able to smell the decaying pigs.

Actually, the people who play that long still live in their mothers basement. Chances are, its been a long time since a bath or shower and it would be difficult to identify the source of the stench.

I tried to play the game a couple of times, but my 6 y o grand daughter got disgusted by the angle of my shots so she gave up trying to teach me. I feel so ashamed.

Thank goodness.. I thought it was only ME!!:eek:
 
Problem with angry birds is sometimes you get wrapped up in the moment...which is not a good thing when you are playing it at counsel table waiting your turn on misdemeanor arraignment day. :rolleyes:
 
I used to have a comic of two young teens walking in from a badmitten court with rackets. The matronly woman standing there asked them if they were done so soon. The reply was "yeah, the parakeet died". Same idea.

We got a starling in the old house up on the hill. I couldn't figure out how to catch it, so I used a tennis racket. Man do you get a satisfying thump when you swing and hit it! :) Then I upgraded to a more automatic system about 10 years ago. Its called a cat. Well, really a whole herd of them my wife tends. She opened the basement door for some reason and out into the living area flew a bat! Talk about fun. Watching the critters fall all over each other trying to catch it. Except my favorite little female. She just took up guard duty at the archway between the living room and dining room. Then Mr. Bat made a tragic mistake. He flew that way. She saw him coming, timed her jump and had him about 6 or so feet off the floor. One jump. Then I rescued it, tossed a small towel over it and set it free outside in the cold.

The stupid game doesn't make much sense. It'd make more sense if they tossed pigs at birds in rickety buildings. I can attest that birds don't smash buildings. The house my wife built has a glass front aiming right toward town and upriver. Birds smash into the glass all the time. Some die, others get knocked more senseless (stupid to fly into a glass wall). None have broken anything except their own necks so far. Those do get a last flight. I shovel them up off the deck and toss them onto the house next door. Its been vacant since this time back in 2005. Did y'all know dead birds roll? Must be their aerodynamic shape. You toss a dead birdie on the roof and they roll down and into the gutter!
