we're just like a big family

Ian, circa 1886

You may have noticed a decrease in posts around here lately. We're sorry, but there were some mitigating circumstances: Jared's sole remaining typing finger was shattered in the recent Kingston bearbaiting incident, and Chris has been nearly catatonic since as far back as November 1991.

It is thus a lucky break that our old friend Ian (see photo) may be writing some things for Small Flightless Bird every once in a while. He and Jared scared the hell out of me when I met them eight years ago, but they're older now and only slightly less reckless.

Please be kind to our new co-blogger, and for god's sake do not feed him after midnight.
