Goodfeathers

“When the birds hit the street
Looking for food to eat,
That's Goodfeathers!
(That's Goodfeathers!)

“When I'm cooing at you
And you're cooing at me,
That's Goodfeathers!

“Take no guff
'Cause they're tough,
Strut their stuff,
No cream puffs,
That's Goodfeathers!”

Bobby, Squit, and Pesto Goodfeather

Sung to the tune of Dean Martin’s “That’s Amore,” the above lyrics are the theme song for segments on Warner Brothers’ Animaniacs about three street-savvy pigeons: the Goodfeathers. The trio includes Squit, Pesto, and Bobby; each had a distinctive voice and personality reminiscent of characters portrayed by Ray Liotta, Joe Pesci, and Robert de Niro. Their antics were among my favorites when I was a kid, and I looked forward to each episode every day after school. But one thing was missing...

Their cousin: Blingo Mediocrewing.

Blingo hails from Texas. After his failed audition for the show, he gave up on acting and returned to Houston to seek his fortune in oil and gas. Unfortunately, he was hired by Enron. When Enron collapsed after their infamous accounting scandal, Blingo decided work in general was for the birds and flew the coop on a paying career. He instead played the lottery. After spending what little savings he had and never winning, he was forced to return to his mother's nest. He continues to roost there to this day. Please help me cheer him up by coming by for a visit.


If you use the trailhead waypoint, you'll have a much easier time of getting to GZ. Otherwise, LOTS of bushwhacking and two railroads to cross. Blingo’s perch is fairly easy to find. After you sign the log, please put Blingo’s bling back where you found it. He likes to look at and think of what could've been.
