What good birbs! (But, technically, probably not actually birbs. See Audubon’s “When Is a Bird a ‘Birb’? An Extremely Important Guide ” and “What’s the Difference Between a ‘Borb’ and a ‘Floof’?”)

Not pictured: the 11 hours you spent sitting in wind and sleet wishing you hadn't drunk all your cocoa in the first 15 minutes and if you go to the bathroom you'll miss the ten seconds of action that would make the whole thing worthwhile.

MetaFilter? It would have made more sense to tweet this.
