Taken on the mean streets of southern Idaho. Apparently this is a genetic condition similar to albinism, and it’s very rare to find one, because they’re so easy for birds to see.

Tldr; I cost GSC a bunch of money and now they’re not hiring me
I was working as a stewie this summer, but I got injured on the job and had to go to CHC for surgery. After waiting a bit over a week for an appointment, the surgeon cancelled at the very last minute. (Literally 15 minutes before surgery!) So I had to go back to the states and get surgery there. Between hotels, flights and workers comp, I figure that trip was not too cheap for GSC.
After I healed, I emailed my hiring manager. (Before I left, I had gotten an alternate contract for winter and just needed to get PQ’d again.) I was told that I was too late to come back for winter. That makes sense, I did leave just before the flight gap. So I applied to all of the Summer/Winfly jobs! I emailed hiring managers/HR folks, and after about a month I got a response. They don’t have any jobs available to me. Now, I know they’re hiring, because at that point they hadn’t even chosen all of the primaries, much less the alternates. Hell, my friend who got injured and sent home around the same time as me had got a contract by this point!
So, do you think I have a chance at a contract any time soon, or have they blacklisted me in some way? I know GSC has gotten in trouble for blacklisting people in the past, and that there’s currently a class action against USAP because subcontractors share these lists between each other. I hope I’m just being paranoid; besides being an enormous pain in the ass to get hired, I’ve actually really liked GSC overall.

Taken at the beginning of last summer. He vomited at me, then his mate came over and vomited at him, then they flew away together. Very romantic.
Hello, everybody! Adam (along with a few articles about the show, and a couple clips) have mentioned a 14-minute demo tape from 2002. I found Adam’s tweet sharing the video but sadly the link is dead. I was wondering, do any of you kind folks have it downloaded and willing to share? Hopefully it’s not lost to the ages. Thanks!
Pretty cool place to take inspiration from. It’s an encyclopedia of a world that doesn’t exist, with nonsensical writing and whacky illustrations
