Title: No good deed goes unpunished
Post by: tp4tissue on Wed, 07 July 2021, 18:26:46

Tp4 play dat Dirt3 in basement.  Chirpchirp noise @ window.  Whuddup wit dat.

Investigates.

Mini-Birb fell out of nest. stuck in window well.

Grabs ladder, grabs birb, replace birb.

Goes inside.  10 minutes later, Holy poops, poison ivy.  Arm super itchy.  Now can't even really play Dirt 3.

Logical conclusion: Never do a good deed.

I will keep this in mind. Thank you Tp.

Indeed, if this same birb ever falls in the same window well, just gon' assume it' antivax republican birb.  Let nature take care of it.

I'm pleasantly surprised, good work tp4.  That little birdy couldn't even sit still in a nest, he certainly didn't aim for the ivy!

I hope your arm clears up soon so you can get back to playing properly.

if a good deed was free of consequence, would it really be a good deed? you have been tested by the powers above, you decided to sacrifice a bit of comfort to save that poor bird, now hopefully this will grant you superpower or something :)
(if the end did not give it away it is a joke, but well done TP, going outside to save a bird is from how you describe yourself a great feat :))
