Angry Birds. Stupid, angry, jerk birds.

I have a Blackberry. Thus far this fact has made me immune from the dual scourges known as Words With Friends and Angry Birds. Of course, this being the Information Age, that hasn't stopped me from being able to hear about said dual scourges (constantly. Thank you, Twitter.) (Off topic: One of the funniest tweets I've ever seen was from my Twit Bro @manplaid; I'm paraphrasing because I can't find it to copy and paste: "I feel sorry for our ancestors who used to have to wait weeks to find out if somebody was laughing out loud.")

A few weeks ago hubs informed me that Angry Birds was now available as a Chrome plug-in! Well, good, I said, because I use Firefox. I'm still safe! I went on with my life.

This weekend I switched to Chrome; mainly because Firefox recently forced me to upgrade and apparently the new version of Firefox and Twitter are not yet friends (I don't want to hear one word about Tweet Deck or Twhirl or Echofon or any of that shit. Not one fucking word) and I'm tired of looking at a completely blank page when I try to load Twitter (NOT. ONE. WORD.) And then on Saturday afternoon, I was bored (read: sober) when suddenly ... I remembered! Hey! I can play Angry Birds on this thing! Let's give it a try, shall we? Finally I can understand what the fuck The Oatmeal was talking about here.

Here's something I learned about myself very very quickly afterwards: I suck at Angry Birds. I mean... I am REALLY bad at it. My birds constantly go flying in all directions and practically NEVER hit those stupid smarmy fucking asshole pig things. It's actually quite funny. You know, if it didn't piss me off so much.

Fuck you. I don't even care. I. Don't. Even. Care.

I quickly grew tired of playing Miss Pigs With Birds and went into the kitchen to make dinner (read: drink). Right before I left, however, Child 2 comes along and says "Hey! That looks fun! Can I play it?" So I say "sure!" and I start to explain to him how it works. "See, you drag the bird back and then try to aim it-"

"Yeah, yeah," he says, pushing me out of my chair, "I got it, I got it."

Whatever. Jerk kid. Show off. Mumble.

This guy? This guy can just go right ahead and fuck off.

I'm in the kitchen no more than 5 fucking minutes (seriously), when Child 2 comes running into the room yelling "Mama! Mama!! I've already gotten past the level you were on when I started playing!!"

Are you fucking kidding me?? I was at that shit for at least a half hour, and you've been at it for five minutes and you're already better than me? Seriously????

Hey! Did I mention go fuck yourself? Because go fuck yourself.

I HATE Angry Birds. That game SUCKS.

FUCK YOU, BIRDS. You're not going to suck me in with your chirping shenanigans. You're dead to me, birds. DEAD.

Lemme just go practice a little more first, though....

(By the way... the juggling chick is back. Just sayin')

I am constantly swearing at the birds and those damn pigs. Yet here I am playing the Rio version, this time trying to hit stupid monkeys! And what about the Seasons versions? Pigs in Christmas hats, then bunny ears, then arghhhhhhhhhh
My recent post Guest Star- Ilana from Mommy Shorts
Never played or seen "Angry Birds" , but I have heard of it. Funny thing is I am at work. In a childcare center and a lil boy (4) just came up behind me and saw me reading this blog and sad "Are you playing Angry Birds". LMAO
My recent post Brace YourselvesI am not gonna Complain
I'm actually getting my first smart phone this week--I know, where the FUCK have i been? But i am determined to ignore this game as much as possible. determined. Because, as you have proven, Ben will no doubt be much better than me in no time, and getting trounced by a 4yo is not my idea of a good time.

Get a Blackberry! You'll be immune to them both.
Kids can assholes, huh? Spencer speaks to me like I'm an idiot and he's only five. FIVE.

OMG I KNOW!!! FIVE!!!
I was helping Child 2 with an Angry Birds level he was having trouble with. I finished it for him and he says "YAY! Thanks Daddy! I'm still better than you though".
That is some funny shit right there. We got my mom addicted to it on the iPad when she came to visit. Bitch sat on my couch all during Thanksgiving playing. Wouldn't even make the broccoli cheese soup.

I've never played Farmville; I don't even know what it is.

I consider myself lucky.
Yeah I have had an on-again off-again addiction to Angry Birds. I not only have the regular game on my phone, but the "seasons" as well. This proves useful on car trips...

My recent post Vicious Cycle
Noooo no no no no no no....

The birds are supposed to be angry, not you.

Let the birds take care of your problems...

Fun 'did you know?' you can buy angry birds plushies at Toys R Us. I bought one of each for my 4yo nephew. He loves them.

But... no surprise... he THROWS them at things, going "BOOM! CRASH! DIE PIGGIES!!!"

It's adorable and disturbing, all at the same time...

LOL Hubs actually came home yesterday and told me that you can also buy them at Fry's. He offered to buy me one but I knew that Chlld 2 would just steal it. Kids suck.
I totally bought it. The red one. Friggin' 20 bucks. Happy anniversary.
Yeah. Thanks to YOU, I'm now doing the same thing. It is entirely your fault. Because, without YOU, I never would have noticed that Chrome introduced this game directly from Satan himself. And I wouldn't have spent four freaking hours launching brightly colored birds at evil little pigs yelling things like "die you fuckers!" Yeah. Thanks a ton, Jill.

Ooooohhhh, yeah. This is awkward, huh?
I hate those fucking birds. They piss me off worse than put-put. At least in put-put I can throw the fucking club. With those birds I can't throw a $200 phone. My husband would crap.

Welcome to the club - we have jackets.

We are also putting together a twelve-step program...
My recent post Reboot
This happened to me with a game called Plant Vs Zombies and my 4yo niece. I totally couldn't bowl to win the level. Threw my hands up and walked away ten minutes later I go and there's my niece, all smiley and playing 3 levels after the one I couldn't beat.

I have yet to attempt angry birds. I feel it coming in my future. Damn the internet games. Damn ALL the internet games!

Those fucking birds aren't nearly angry enough because if they were, they would launch their own damn selves at those motherfucking pigs.

So... they're not so much "Angry" birds as they are "Lazy" birds.

I fucking hate them so much more now
It is my intention to forever be better at video games than my kids.

Yeah good luck with that.

Yesterday when I was writing this very post hubs and Child 2 were playing this very game. Hubs says "Alright! You did it!" And The Child responds "yeah, but I'm still better at it than you are."
Aw, man.... I totally posted that already.
Now I can't tell if I'm going to play or not. Because you make it sound simultaneously wonderful and horrible.

Maybe I'll just stick with Super Mario Bros on the Gameboy.

Put down the crackberry and back slowly out of the room, you'll be fine......
I also have a blackberry, and I'm going to pretend I never saw this. Zuma Blitz on Facebook is bad enough. I don't need another time suck.
My recent post Paddling Up the River Denial
You and birds again? Like they say, once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, 3 times is enemy action. Now, you had a duck first, then a poor, innocent, but ready to cling to life like a frog on a window, and now video games. Let's go. Get the help you need.

Seems that Angry Birds has made you, well, angry.
I'm gonna go play it now and seek revenge on those assholes in your honor.
I love that game!
My recent post I Sure Hope I Get the Last Laugh On This One
Why can't I get my kid addicted to these annoying games? I try and try, but NO, instead he follows me around all day wanting to play with me and crap. Fuck, sling some birds, why don't you?

You're right, kids do suck.

Thanks! You always get me laughing hard!
My recent post How My Daughter Took the News
My hubby loves that game. I wont lower myself to play it, and now I feel particularly validated. xD
My recent post So Many Questions
Nice! This is too funny. Especially when you say the birds are dead to you! LOL! I got hooked on Angry Birds when I got my Android phone in December and I've been playing ever since. I've finished all of the boards and now I'm trying to register three stars on each board and I'm struggling! The Mrs. and I recently got an iPad, so I start playing on there as well and I'm pretty sure, as a Google Chrome user, that I will start up on that platform as well. Just like you, it's seriously addictive to me and I wind up very upset when I can't complete a level. But, once it's completed, you would have thought that I graduated college all over again! The sense of achievement is unmatched! More updates! More levels! More birds! By the way, I can be your sponsor at the ABA meetings every Thursday @ 6 PM.

I clicked! I clicked! (on the juggling chick). Sexytimes now? Your gayness will totally not interfere (inside joke).
When I first started playing, I had no clue you could like make the birds go faster or blow up or whatever. Katie showed me. Yeah, these games are totally made for kids. I actually got really good during my super-addicted-to-angry-birds months, but then my phone shit the bed and I LOST THE GAME. I would have to start all over!!! FUCK.NO. That pretty much cured my addiction.
My recent post When is Enough- Enough
I have not caved to Angry Birds and after reading your post, I still won't cave! Thanks, Jill! LOL
Hilarious!! Loved this! You are not alone, my daughter was better at Angry Birds than just about everyone when he was 3 1/2. My kid can kick your kid's butt at Angry Birds! LOL j/k

You should totally try Tweetdeck :P

Also, I love Chrome. Welcome to a better browser. Go look up Plants vs. Zombies! :D
My recent post Kids Dont Care
You made me laugh, I like you :)

However I am unclear about how to feel towards said Angry Birds. I am yet to play it. I am happily living in the dark ages, never having owned an MP3 player (what's wrong with a walkman?), or a cellphone that can get the internet thing, or a cap that you can drink beer from.

Mind you, that all might be because the BAP test says I am rigid and rather not keen to change my ways. Plus, I don't like beer.
My recent post A Gut-Feeling about Autism
Oh, Angry Birds is autistic crack. I knew I was in deep trouble when the Macbook version came out (I refuse to own a smartphone). And I was working a really rough gig at the time, so I'd just come home at night and work off aggression playing Angry Birds till 2 AM.

Quoth my roommate: "This game should be called Angry Nerds, not Angry Birds."
LMAO. I still feel left out of WWF with my Blackberry. that said I want no part of these birds. They look like the devil......
So fucking funny - and I haven't even played it. I'm a recovering Tetris addict - so I can't go near any of those damn things.

Oh just wait until you can play Angry Bird Seasons, Angry Bird Rio....it is a time and sleep sucker. I will not, will not (chanting) allow my Chrome to visit it...I would never get any work done.____Damn birds. Damn kids for being so freaking smart.
My recent post People Freak Watching at Mall of America
I love that game!!! It's addicting though and yes, I am not good at it either. You should try Plants vs Zombies. Now that is addicting.
We all know your little problem with birds... Now there is a game where the bird is the protagonist?! And you "help" the protagonist?! It was doomed from the start. Now if the piggies were flung at the birds, I'm thinking you'd be in some top 5 competitive play...
