I don't like "Ice Road Truckers", I don't like "Pawn Stars", I don't like "American Pickers" And (another channel) i don't like "Orange County Choppers".
History channel used to be my favorite channel, but with the above offerings they seem to be diluting the intellectual content in preference to the "reality TV" mentality depicting the daily struggles and interminglings of the principals ...And I could care less about the sociopathic failures of these groups/families as they strive to amuse us with their dysfunctional existences
I think that the city might have put up the signs to make self-centered human types to think before acting out their "the world is my oyster" fantasies, and to that extent the signs are good.
it's too bad that geese don't have fangs like snakes do, then some of those bastages would get their just desserts!!
Anyway, CNG, if the property owner has the ability to communicate in geese language to the geese, then the property may have a case of banning the geese. Else wise, the geese have as much right to the property as the human does.
The point of the thread is,that out of hundreds and hundreds of geese that I've become familiar with, not a one of them I can think of would cause huimans a problem, if just left alone. But the people element seems so obsessed with the delusion that every aspect of this planet is placed here for their consumption, so I'm sure that the sign is there because some human previously just couldn't leave well enough alone, screwed around with the geese while they were protecting their progeny, and lit one of the gander's fuses. And probably went whining to the city about the "bad ol' waterfowl" that had the audacity to fight back.
That's just my suspicion, but that's generally the way it seems to unfurl
Actually, I noticed that the Discovery channel's show titled "Auction King" seems to do right everything that "Pawn Stars" does wrong...They present very interesting items, expert consultants for evaluation, and none of the interpersonal garbage that the Harrisons seem so stuck on.
Plus the presentation is geared towards the prospective seller getting as much as possible for their goods, instead of the buyer's smug "take it or leave it, I gotta make money on this deal" approach common to pawn stars.

~ 4 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
~ 4 tbsp butter
~ 2 onions, chopped
~ 1/2 to 1 cup whipping cream
~ salt
~ pepper
In a pan, boil the potatoes until tender. Drain.
In a sauce pan, melt the butter and saute the onions until soft.
Place the potatoes in a mixing bowl and add 1/2 cup of cream. Beat until smooth adding more cream if necessary.
Salt and pepper the potatoes to taste. Add the onions and mix until combined well.
Stuff the goose with the potatoes. Either skewer the cavity closed or sew shut.
Place goose on a rack in a roasting pan and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
Cover with foil and cook at 325 degrees for 3 to 3 1/2 hours.
If you want to crisp the skin, remove the foil and spoon 3 - 4 tablespoons of ice water over the goose during the last 15 minutes of cooking.
Serve and Enjoy!
