Best Nest Nation?

[packman]

An extended metaphor: The rich took the birds, then the eggs and left us with only the nest, which, after we cleaned out the shit and crap, made a soup out of its dried spit to live on. Then the rich decided that even that was too much of a good thing for us and made it too expensive to live even on that.



"Male birds gorge themselves on seaweed, which causes them to salivate like a Labradoodle at a picnic. Saliva threads, which contain a bonding protein called mucilage, spew out of the bird’s mouth. Once dry, the saliva acts as cement."
