Apparently, all the news has been covered
KTRK-13 has the scoop on some just-barely-news tonight:
It's happened again. A bird was attacked in Katy, but not just any bird. It's over eight feet tall, bright purple and the guy inside is getting sick and tired of being pushed around.
This big bird's office is the easement along Frye Road where he advertises mattress sales most weekends. Sunday he was attacked on the job.
"I saw shadows behind me," said the mascot Kyle Lincecum.
First came the shadows, then the mascot says came the push.
"Then I turned around and he shoved me real hard," he said.
A couple of assailants took part.
"One was videotaping while the other was harassing me," Lincecum said.
The assailants got away. Consider though this is the fourth time the mascot has been attacked. Each one happened around this same Katy intersection.
"They just look like hellions and ruffians and they say, 'There's a big bird, I'm gonna get it,'" the mascot's owner Russ Vogel recounted. "Sometimes I don't think they're aware of whose inside and it's a person just like them."
It is not nice of hellions and ruffians to attack people in bird costumes, but it is good that KTRK has gotten the word out (and that it's apparently such a slow news night that they were able to devote time to this problem).
In case the hellions and ruffians are roving hellions and ruffians, people in bird costumes citywide now know to watch themselves.
