This is it!! The Superbowl of Superbowls!

What a season! We saw some fascinating play by Verreaux’s Owl who racked up big wins but in the end couldn’t pull it off over more established owls. Some heartbreakers like my boys The Burrowings but hey, sometimes it’s just not your year, y’know?

And fan favorite Ruru shook up the world in that round but, alas, had to give way to our eventual finalists. Not to mention Barnies, GHO, EEO, LHO, SEO! All so worthy, but like they say in baseball: Post-season is a crapshoot!

So here we are with a can’t-lose slate! The venerable Screechie - hero, prankster, guardian of that little notch in the oak. Romantic, comfortable, in multiple flavors with just a soupçon of goofiness that the kids love. Who wouldn’t love them as OotY? They’re a natural!

But for me, this is Buffy’s year. I’ll be honest, I’d never seen a Buffy Fish (that I’m aware of) before their appearances on superbowl, but wow - what an owl! Part lumberjack, part daffy mad scientist, part inscrutable mystery! Living on their own terms out in Buffy Fishlandia so far the photogs can barely find them - and when they finally get the shot - click - the expression is like he got caught farting while bending over! Can you not relate?! They’re not afraid of jumping right in there - they’ll take on a crab, hell yeah they will, and a fish or two to go! Shake off the river and enjoy some good food before turning in, another good day’s work. The Buffy Fish Owl! Yeah!

Thank you anon6789, this is the best thing Lemmy’s seen!
