Christmas is Coming, the Goose is Getting Fat.

File under telephone calls I never thought I'd receive. I'm at Red's parent's house having dinner with her family when I get a call from one of my roommates:

Roommate: "Hey, when you come home tonight... are you coming home tonight?"

Me: "Yeah I should be home later, why?"

Roommate (in a matter of fact tone): "When you get home come in through the front door, not the garage. We don't want the goose to get out."

Me: "Wait, what???"

Roommate: "We're afraid if you open the garage door the goose will get out."

Me: "What goose???"

Roommate: "Well see we came home and there was a goose in the road and we were afraid it would get hit by a car so we chased it into the garage and called animal shelter. They said they couldn't come get it if it wasn't a dangerous animal so we're trying to figure out what to do with it."

Me: "Okay... uh.... I'll be sure to use the front door."


Why do I feel like Chandler from Friends all the sudden?

So what state is your garage in now?

Wry: Haha The goose was NOT cooked, it was lovingly released at the park the next day by my roommate and his girlfriend.

Randy: The goose was surprisingly placid and mostly kept to itself. It would lift it's head and give you a quiet honk if you peeked in on it but was otherwise quiet.
