Owlga was not exactly the best Vole hunter in her family. In the timespan she needed to catch one elderly stone-deaf mammal, Michowl caught half a dozen juicy young ones. But when it came to overpowering sandy hillocks, noowl could match Owlga's dexterity. Gotcha!

It was Monday morning. Someowl should be at work. However, Owlexander could think of 368 reasons why this Someowl couldn't be him.

Mr Sheriff, Sir, enough is enough. You make us Burrowing Owls live in artificial Burrows, telling us there is no room for decent Owl-made Burrows. This in itself is offensive. But what I MUST complain about is you people dumping waste in Burrowland. This has to stop! Definitely NOT yours, Owlgernon

Coming home from a night of intensive clubbing, Owlexander came upon YET ANOTHER two new little sisters. "Fffee are Carowline and Powleen", the younger one lisped. "You mufft be our broffer Owlexff." Owlex was horrified. Couldn't Mom and Dad ever stop breeding? More little ones to eat HIS slug stew!

Frau Schneider ist ein Fall von Wohlstandsverwahrlosung. Selbstgefällige Rechthaberei - und auch noch stolz darauf, gegen die Demokratie zu sein.

If you want to have a little nap, you will naturally choose the position you find most relaxing. Some of us will just sit on their bum. But the real connaisseurs of relaxation will stretch out luxuriously. Greetings to Owliver from Timothy Tiger!

"It will be a nice and sunny day", Owlgernon declared importantly. "No rain in sight." Michowl and Owlga did not think much of Owlgie's forecasting skills - the weather had been exactly the same for weeks - but as he had been declared "very sensitive" by Mom, they decided not to hurt his feelings.

While Sherlock Owlmes scrutinized their latest visitor with one of his trademark piercing looks, his sidekick Dr Owltson watched in round-eyed wonder, not getting the deeper implications (as usual). "Owlementary", Owlmes mumbled.

Owlex was so hungover he even forgot the word "feel". He did definitely NOT feel up to facing Monday morning!

Owlexander's throat felt as dry as the desert and the sunlight kept hammering on his hungover brain. It had been a long owlcoholic weekend... and Owlex did definitely NOT up to facing Monday morning.

Mom had told Owlga in no uncertain terms that she expected her to come home from school with MUCH better marks in Owlology, Owlgebra, and Owlish Literature. Which was why Owlga dawdled a bit before entering the Burrow with her report card. And her marks in Owlistry were even worse...

After the disaster with his TOO BIG Burrow entrance, Owlgernon chose the opposite and moved into a prefab Tiny Burrow. The ad had promised things like "cozy", "unique" and "sustainable". In fact, it was depressing, claustrophobic and JUST HORRIBLE.

Owlgernon had taken to heart what the Big Loud Orange Bird (BLOB) hammered into his fans' minds: THINK BIG, BUILD BIG. It had taken Owlgie weeks to dig an entrance to the BLOB's liking.Unfortunately the Burrow behind it was now unfit to live in. Maybe THINKING was not the BLOB's forte, Owlgie mused.

Michowl and Nicowlas had found the perfect solution for the housing crisis: They'd left their Burrow behind and moved into a wooden cabin. Mike would never admit it was less romantic than he'd hoped, and quite uncomfortable. It didn't help that everyowl said their cabin looked like a pile of sticks.

Owlgernon had planned a romantic tete-à-tete with Charlowlte on his favorite rusty railing. He was delighted Charlie liked the railing too. He was less thrilled to find she used it only as a starting point for a particularly lengthy solo flight.

Long-suffering Professor Torpedowl had told Owlgernon over and over how to spread his wings and to take off. Flying, he had told Owlgie again and again, was the best and most superior way of moving from A to B. When the weekend drew near, however, Owlgie forgot all his flying lessons - and just RAN.

Michowl was a celebrated Owl artist, famous for his readymades and object art.His latest oeuvre, TyreNet Blues, symbolized (his fans explained) the futility of modern life, the final stage of capitowlism, and the longing for slug stew.The composition was auctioned at Sowltheby's for 1 million slugs.

Burrows, Butlowl to Lord Owldermere,did not see it fit to announce this inquisitive human visitor to His Lordship and Her Ladyship. The human had brought a camera (without asking) but could not produce a card, which fact made an introduction impossible.Really, Burrows thought, humans had no manners.

Yes, there were those who called Powla cute. Others, who looked a bit closer, came up with words like graceful, lithe, dainty, elegant. "Look at her stance, her pose! Isn't she the sweetest little Owlet elfin?" Powla didn't give a f***. All she knew was, she was gonna be a damn good ballet dancer.

Molting was not for the faint of heart. Owlgernon decided it was a tough time. But you couldn't even call in sick because, as the boss put it, "molting's not an illness, so we ignore it, and just work harder." Easier said than done (Owlgie thought) when you looked and felt like an exploded pillow.

Which was, of course, an excellent stratagem, designed by brilliant Burrowing Generowls. "A gem of a stratagem", as Richowld sometimes said, chuckling darkly.

History knows of several Eagle Owls who died laughing when someowl told them that "those midgets from the desert" claim to be real Owls as well.

Richowld and Owlroy were veterans of the Civowl War (Burrowing against Screech, or had it been Eagle Owls? no matter) and talked for nights on end about battles, victories, and wounds (Owlroy had sacrificed an eye for the Burrowing Cause, bless him).They could, however, not remember a single defeat.
