hey Guys. Here is a life cycle of an Annoying Whiner Bird from Thy Dungeonman 3 and a Possible Homestar Runner Movie:

For Most Annoying Whiner Birds, the breeding season starts in either spring, summer, autumn or winter. The Change in length of the days, known as the photoperiod, produces hormonal changes within the annoying whiner birds. These hormonal changes result in behavorial changes, such as the start of the northward breeding migration for those annoying whiner birds to their breeding grounds. Those Annoying Whiner Birds that don't migrate will begin to restrict their movements to the local area surrounding the nesting site.

The singing, Morbling and Ganching of the Annoying Whiner Birds is something that we all enjoy, execpt for Thy Dungeonman, but these songs, morbles, and ganches, are not without meaning. Most of the singing is done by the male and female and generally serves two proposes: to advertise and defend their territory against of males of the same species, especially Trogdor The Burninator, who stalks the Whiner birds, and to attract each other. Defending of a territory can include chasing, fancy displays, and even fighting, especially against Trogdor The Burninator (the Birds in the H*R movie will pecks his eyes out and kill him, causing him to roar in severe pain and falls into a lake and drowns himself.). Singing is reduced or stops completely once a mate is found and territorial are agreed upon by all the Annoying Whiner birds.

For migratory Annoying Whiner Birds, the females arrive shortly after the males determine their territories. The annoying whiner birds will then begin to "Court"--choose mates and form pairs. Non-migratory Annoying Whiner Birds begin courting after the males set their territorial boundaries. The Courtship involves direct interaction and possibly displays between the male and female, which results in a bonding or mutal benefit that keeps the pair together. Once Paired Up, the Annoying Whiner Birds tend to stay and move together around their territory.

After courtship completes, nest building begins. In General, it is the female Annoying Whiner Bird that builds the nest. The male, however, may follow the female around as she gathers nest materials. In Some Annoying Whiner Birds, the male will build the nest's foundations and the female will add the lining material. Yet, with some Annoying Whiner Birds, both Male and Female participate in building the nest.

Mating takes place with the Male Annoying Whiner Bird stepping in the female's back and bending his tail downward as she bends hers up. Sperm is transferred when the anal openings, called cloaca, of the two Annoying Whiner Birds touch. A few seconds later, the male steps off the female's back. The female will then lay one egg per day until all eggs are produced. Four to six to seven eggs is typical for Most Annoying Whiner Birds. The eggs are usually laid early each morning. Neither Male or female spend much time on the nest until most of the eggs are laid.

Incubation typically doesn't begin until the day before the last egg is laid, this may be so that all the eggs will hatch on the same day. Generally, only the Female Annoying Whiner Bird incubates the eggs. The female Annoying Whiner Bird develops extra blood vessels on her chest and may even lose feathers in that same area. This area is called the brood patch and acts like a heating pad that warms the eggs. The Male Annoying Whiner Bird's role in all this is to bring food to his mate and guards the nest while the female Annoying Whiner Birds takes breaks and feed. This process lasts 10 to 12 days for the Annoying Whiner birds.

Once the Eggs Hatch, there is no rest for the Annoying Whiner Bird Parents, who are constantly bringing food back to the chirping, morbling and ganching young Annoying Whiner Birds. At this point the young are referred to as nestlings or hatchlings, since they are confined to the nest and fed by their parents. The Annoying Whiner Bird nestlings do not have feathers for the first few days and cannot be warm on their own, so they must be brooded, which means to have an adult sit over them. Once feathers develop, they no longer need to be brooded. The nestling phase lasts about ten days.

After the young leaves the nest they are called Annoying Whiner Bird fledglings. The fledglings are, however, still dependent on their parents for food and will often sit and morble and ganch continuously. The parents will begin to feed the young Annoying Whiner Birds fewer, but larger pieces of food. Eventually, the young Annoying Whiner Birds will be able to find their own food. At the end of one to several weeks, the parents may abruptly stop feeding young but are still together with the fledglings.

Migration offers the largest number of Annoying Whiner birds because of either the spring, winter, summer, or autumn breeding. Migration usually begins after the Annoying Whiner Birds finish molting. Those Annoying Whiner Birds that don't migrate will stay near or within the region they bred.

During Winter, most pair of adults do not stay together, although some can. The disassociation for some Annoying Whiner Birds continues until the next breeding season.

And Finally, here's a picture of what the Annoying Whiner Bird looks like as an adult:

So there. What did you think of my Annoying Whiner Bird life cycle?

Obviously Troggie.

Unless the Cheat's Stache from Date Nite counts, then that.

Senor Cardgage, hands down. I'm thrilled every time he makes an appearance - he has won my allegiance away from Eh!Steve, who used to hold sole sway over my heart.

The minor characters are like my children that I don't have. I like them all!

But if I have to choose, then I'd have to say either Stinkoman or Fightgar. Fightgar's cool.

Okay. Numero uno? Definitely Reinforcements from the Cheat Commandos. Although the Blue Laser boss is definitely awesome too.
Next I'd have to say... Teeg Dougland. I suppose I have some sort of secret affection for characters who only say one thing.
The Grape nuts robot, however, takes the cake for me. "Now spell, carp for brains" :mrgreen:

Dogfood Gangsta is the single greatest. I don't care what you have to say. The best is now, has been since around Monday, September 13th of 2004, and always will be.

Hmm... Favorite...

Well, some I like are mere figments of my personal favorite wrestleman's imagination, for example, The Helicopter can shoot whatever birds need shooting. If you need punting, A Dinosaur should be there ASAP. The Cloud Monster is a friend of The Helicopter is something that I believe it is safe to believe. He makes a living getting rid of birds, and gets a tasty meal too. The No I In Team Guy is another favorite, because when you see him, you're always reminded of the moral strengths and ideas that make our world what it is. The Vulture And Bat are also quite nice, as they shall destroy those who are guilty of the Deadly Sin known as Envy. The Buzzsaw Sun also helps The Helicopter and The Cloud Monster whenever it's needed. The Thrift Store Person is helpful to all kinds of folk, letting them know that each item is 1 or 2 cent. The Possums can be quite angry if you get off on the wrong foot, but can also be as gentle as nomal possums. Brett Bretterson is another favorite, as he is faced every waking moment of his life with the reality that he is not one, but he overcomes it to live a meaningful life. Quarterback is the popular muscular man every Teen Girl wants to get to 1st, 2nd, and Quite Possible Even 3rd Base with. He was, though sadly, he has since been Cerebellum'd by my friend The Giant Brain Mech. The Fat Bird just has a glandular problem and is trying to get by in life, so it sits on The Ugly One. What a trooper! The Olda Boys are amazing, as they are completely willing to admit their miss for their mothers and video games. I myself am standoffish when near the cool or famous people, as I was under the impression they were deceased, however I do feel a connection to them as well. The Gift Exchange Lion is, like the Smiley Face Man, quite willing to do what must be done to make a living for his family. The Hawaiian Guy stole hearts of lady fans everywhere in 1987 with his hit single, "Wave O' Babies," about a fictional wave of babies, which turned out to be real, and laqsuits happened. The Gazelle was the lawyers for both, and when each party found out, they teamed up to make him but a carcass, and so they have patched things up in recent years, with him still singing his 20 years and going hit, Wave O Babies, whenever teenage girls need babies to wave upon them. Fat Man and Bill Bellamy are the best of pals, though not in public. Intercom, Floor Tom, and Mrs. So-or-So-erson.... What's not to like about them? Fatty never let his weight affect him, and he kept on aiming for his big chance. The Trolls were nice as well, kindly asking for an autograph. The Shark is too seaworthy not to love, and Learner's Permit Girl's slightly odd charm is easy to fall in love with. I don't need to say a thing about Science Fiction Greg, His Friends, Or D N'D Greg. Everyone knows the story behind the rise and fall of their relationship. Vultures and Port-O-John are both tortured souls, lusting and hungering for that special thing that shall make them... Whole. A Mighty Warrior started his days as a warrior protecting his family, but has since lost touch with them, as he has spent too much time in corn, which is obviously no place for him. Olympic Man suffered having no hands, and became famous all the same. Coach is not afraid to voice his opinions, though does not always admit to it later, and I respect him for that, as it is quite a good balance. The Scotsmen and Manolinos Ugly One are too awesome to say a thing about. I don't know about Sit Hotbod Handsomeface. The Grim Reaper and Shirt Folding Store Manager are both tough on the inside, though nice deep in there, like corn-whatsit. Astronaut is quite amazing. He's seen space. Raccoon Girl scares me, which I apologize for. Customer loves his wife so much so as to evwc go and get a present, even when he has a terrible cough. Leprechaun Strong Bad and Tentacle Camera serve their duties well. Camp Counselor Shortshorts seems a bit weird to me, though in a funny way! The Chumbly Wumbly Bear is too cute to dislike. Maniac In A Speedo, C'Dogg, Naptime, and Rubble D are tough, and may murder me if not on this list. However, I do not enjoy 12 or 13 very much, so I do not feel a reason to list characters from them.

And, the game characters. The ones who were needed tro provide hours upon hours of fun. Pageboy is not afraid of failing the pigs, as long as there is a chance he will save them. Rhino does what is needed to get food, and Algebra Rabbit, cousin of Reader Rabbit, simply wants to teach. 3-D sheild guy is able to somehow overcome the challenge of always having his head a splode, like Kenny, and just keeps going.

I didn't like Thy Dungeonman, and as such, no characters captivated me during my time playing it.

As for characters shot down as mere "toys," The Denzel is too grodalated for me to hate. Tony Stony loves everyone more than they love him, even though they all love him so much. Aunt Gert is simply too nice and expensive to hate. Remember the good old days when she made you up a fresh batch of cookies for when you got home from diaper school? Those were the days. The Dancin' Musical Nobots gave it all they could, and kudos on them for that. Santaman and Lord Quackingstick are fun for all. The Grabbo Arm demands respect. Doreauxgard is amazing in too many ways to list.
You're actually reading this?
And now for the psuedocharacters. The Bendettos were quite nice, and Frank was the finest friggin' soldier I'd ever met. The Wagon Fulla Pancakes does it all. It even won the Champeenship. (once in a dream, I actually had a crush on the WAgon Fulla Pancakes, who was real xD) All the computers have been amazing, serving Strong Bad loyally until their time came. Or so we say. Bear Holding A Shark is legendary, mysterious, a headhunter, and serves his duty. Wow. The Cardboard Characters are the sources of many, many laughs! Carol's music steals every heart, every time. Cinder Block, Tire, and Stop Sign are all amazing in their own unique ways. New Paper is still growing on me. I don't think I'll ever learn to say "Heunh heownh heunh heownh vvvvvt eangt clonk-a-donk." Wait, I believe I just did. Hurrah! Chairscoot and The Geddup Noise need nothing said. The Horrible Painting and Painting Of A Guy With A Big Knife are quite amazing indeed. Stooly and Homestar Jr. were both quite, quite amazing every time we've seen them, and the best is yet to come! Tofu Homestar may not say a whole lot, but Marzi still fell for him! The Stick and The Paper.... I have nothing to say. They're just....... So essential for life in Free Country, USA. Drive-Thru Whale KNOWS it's the greatest day.

As for the Commandos, I personally like them all.

Though, I should wrap this up before I begin to ramble. My favorite is easily... The one.. The only.... The Paper! I'm not sure if it is even "minor," as it's been in more toons than or as many toons as Coach Z and Homsar combined!

For the record, it took exactly an hour to write that.
