Tauber (und andere Gestalten, die nichts zu verlieren haben, wie der rechte Historiker Rödder) wird jetzt vorgeschickt als Testballon, weil die CDU wissen will, wie so ein Pro-AfD-Vorstoß allgemein ankommt. Erbärmlich.

Some big Bird with very little headfeathers had told Owlga and Owlfred there was danger and disruption coming from the left. They decided to be on the lookout, especially because according to Big Bird, the left was everywhere. Owlga had an inkling the real danger might actually be Big Bird himself.

Auf hoher See lässt Trump ja auch schon (angebliche) Drogenhändler liquidiren. Einfach, weil er's kann.

Feathers keep out the rain. Period. In case you ever wanted to know why Owls don't need raincoats or brollies: Their feathers are perfectly rainproof. No droplet disturbs an Owl's serenity, no downpour will make anyowl run for cover.
That said, Owlexander wondered why his noggin felt so wet.

Burrowing Owls are quite good at playing hide & seek.They are specialists in getting into hiding! "We have the same color as the earth around us", Owlizabeth explained. "If we don't want to be seen, noowl will see us." Which would have been true if Owlga hadn't forgotten not to get herself skylined.

Patriciowl's friends, of which she had quite a few, used to call her Trish. Her little sis Samanthowl, who cawed with a lisp, called her Trif. She found this so endearing that when her very rich parents gave her a whole industry complex for her birdsday, she had her nickname painted onto the facade.

Powla, Owlfred, Owlgernon, Owlizabeth (the eldest sister), Owlga, Owlexander.

Powla had to admit that her siblings were crap when it came to proper classic ballet. "But you need to dance SOMEhow", she insisted. "All of you." (Including Owlfred, who has no sense of any rhythm at all, she thought.) "Let's do a nice chorus line, shall we?" Most of the others obliged. Sort of.

CIOwl Agents Owliver, Nichowlas and Jessicowl had a top secret operation going on. It was so very extremely top secret that none of them actually knew what they were doing, or why. They were sure, however, they had to watch someowl or other. For whatever reason.

Monday morning. It was no use ignoring that a new week of woe-inducing work and tedious toil had begun. One had to risk an eye, Owliver concluded. "But no more than ONE eye", Owlga pointed out.

Mom had watched some humans behaving strangely in the park. They stood around in a circle, raised their featherless wings over their heads, or unfolded little mats on which they lay or crawled around. Standing on one leg and saying hello to the sun was part of the drill, which they called Yogowl.

Whenever an Owlet was in distress, or a sweet Owlette needed a knight in shiny plumage to save her from an evil Horned Owl or Eagle-Owl, SuperOwlfred was near. SuperOwlfred would fly in as swift as a Hawk, as silent as an Earthworm, and come to the rescue.He also delivered hot meals, e.g. vole stew.

In 1969, the Beatowls still wrote great music. When it came to posing for band photos, however, John Lennowl, Powl McCartney, Geowlge Harrison and Ringowl Starr grew more and more tired and irritated.

Mr and Mrs Fowler were not xenophobic, not in the least. But new neighbors called for extra scrutiny. It was necessary to know who this family with four (noisy! and spoilt!) chicks were that had moved in next door. Just in the event that one had to call the powlice one day.

It was 3 on sunday morning when Mom positioned herself in the Burrow entrance. Owlexander, Owlgernon and Owliver had promised - no, sworn - they'd be home by 11 at the latest. Mom was grimly looking forward to their booze-inspired excuses.

Owliver was fascinated by all Owls' ancestors, the Dinowlsaurs. Some of them, like Great-Grandad Stegowlsaurus, wore plates on their backs to defend themselves, or to regulate their body temperature, or because they thought plates were cool. Owliver wondered what they would look like on him.
