Ken,

I'd heard the Goony bird as "FuzzyBurger;"  A friend of my Dad's was a
hunter and taxidermist who had mounted the rear of a deer, antelope or
something, put eyes on it, and hung it on the wall.  The resulting
"creature" looked kind of like a big owl's face.  He told the joke and said
the "creature" was a mounted FuzzyBurger.

An unreasonable man (but my wife says that's redundant!)

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one
persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress
depends on the unreasonable man.

-George Bernard Shaw 1856-1950
