Wanna see a Philippine bulbul?
I’m all for a good pun, but this is taking things way too far.
While doing research for work, I learned about the Philippine bulbul, and how Bohol seems to be full of it. Want to see a Philippine bulbul? Click after the jump.

he Philippine bulbul is one of the dozens of bird species found in Bohol. Now, even the cleanest-minded Filipino (which I am obviously not) would beg to rename some of these birds, because these names are just too fowl.
Some of the birds found in Bohol whose names are just a few letters short of offensive include the following:
- Philippine bulbul (Ixos philippinus)
- Yellow-wattled bulbul (Pycnonotus urostictus)
- Red-keeled flower pecker (Dicaeum australe)
- Brown tit-babbler (Macronous striaticeps)
To the uninitiated foreigner surfing in here, bulbul, unfortunately, sounds terribly close to the Filipino word for, um, pubic hair. As regards flower peckers and tit-babblers, well, you get the general idea.
This is still a Christian blog, by the way. It is by unfortunate coincidence that this Lit major is such a fan of the cheap art of the double entendre.

Cands: Thanks, dearheart. Coming from you, I’ll take that as a huge compliment.
It was a compliment!
I think with anyone else, the constant pun-ning would be corny, but your utter glee and quick wit (I practically hear and see you) makes it all enjoyable.
LOL. best read of the day.
Thanks, insomnity!
