How Many Blockbuster Employees Does it take…….

To get a bird out of the stores? 3 to be exact. I should start this story off from the beganning………

Josh, was at the store by  himself before we openned. And heard
something walking around in the ceiling.  He thought it was
squriels. But anyway soon after this bird falls  thru the ceiling.
It starts flying around. To say the least on its last “victory” lap it
hits the window and is now stuck between the window and the drop box
counter. If I had a picture to show you to demonstrat this point I
would. So anyways…….

I come in and Josh is all hey we got a new pet what should we call it,
I was like um what? Yeah a bird its stuck in here what should we call
it. I ofcourse at this point dup it Darth Feather. So I clock on and
after an hour of being there the bird is driving me and Josh crazy. So
we’re trying to do anything and everything to get it out. Josh of
course is cursing at the bird and yelling at it how it’s stupid cause
it won’t fly.

So first we try a shirt with the sleaves tied and the bottom tied and a
hanger in the neck. Hoping it would make a nice little bag.But we
couldn’t get it down there far enough. We did the same with a plastic
bag. Then it was hey lets take off the drop box. Which we did, with
help from a couple customers. Anyway Josh tries againt he bag idea
again from another angle. Again failed.

So we discuss several things, one being a shot vac or a bebe gun. But
we both remebered we have a concious and even if this bird was the
Darth Lord of stupidity we couldn’t kill him. The next idea was cut a
whole in the drop box. Which we decided was our last chance play, when
all else has failed. So Pat finally calls and is like do not cut a hole
in my store. She said to just not worry about it, the bird would leave
on his own.

So when Brandon W. comes in he has a brilliant idea. Which incorprated
one of my early ones. So we take a long but skinny piece of cardboard
hooked with some string. (Much better then using a movie case) Anyway,
at first its just him and Josh, then out of no where Josh falls to the
ground laughing so hard. The bird walked under the box. Which was
funny. So anyway, next round I’m on top of the counter with a metal
rod, and I’m trying so hard not to poke the bird, cause I ain’t no bird
killer. And so we fail this next round but we get the bird onto the
box. But I got the bright idea lets stick some dvd cases where we’re
trying to get the bird to go out at so it can’t run away. And it worked.

The bird flew away and there was much rejocying had. I think if Brandon
W. didn’t have to work, I think the 3 of us would of gone out and had a
drink in celebration of freeing the bird!!!!! Okay, well that was my
exciting day. Talk at you guys later!!! Love You Always!! Peace!!
