I heard this on NPR this morning. It's especially for you, Milo, because I know you're a bird lover and I expect you don't listen to NPR: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=14081591 (red-footed boobie)

Cool. I've heard of Easter Island but never Eastern Island.

Thank you AnnaStrophic, but even after having carefully perused your post above I am somewhat afraid that somehow someway you have called me a Red Necked Boobie. No matter, thank you. I do so very much love to know stuff about birds. And ants. Your Communist Pinko NPR report about the good ole Tennesse boy attempting to goad natural species diversity on the Midway Islands has inspired me to report in full to AWAD my conversation during Earthweek this past April with the Father of Diversity, the winner of two Pulitzer prizes, Professor E.O. Wilson of Harvard. I'll write it up this weekend and post it here in ANIMAL SAFARI or in INFORMATION.

Your Communist Pinko NPR report ...
This is probably the best noun phrase I've come across in the wild in quite some time. At first, I took it to mean:
a. Your communist report on [that] Pinko NPR [station] ...
But, I see that is probably not what was meant. (Not that any text means anything in the absence of falling diocesans in a vacuum.) How about:
b. Your report, which is both [sic] Communist, Pinko, and NPR ...
I like it, but not yet. Maybe it's more along the lines of a NP like:
c. Your huge big large book ...
But, lo! then, I realized that a rupture in the time-space continuum had occurred and this utterance had leaked out from a parallel Hubble sphere. In this dimension, not only are there Communist Pinkos, but also Communist bluestockings, Communist dowager empresses, and Communist Neo-Conservatives. And, they all own a piece of those radio stations which narrowcast Peorgie Tirebiter's Adventures in Shluburbia. At least, the next time I see a penduline tit, I'll know whether it's Chinese or African.

Trust Nuncle zmjezhd to turn this into a (gasp!) word thread.
And Milo, while Red Necked Boobie has a certain ring to it, I didn't say it. I'm just sayin' ...
