Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for August 03, 2010

This man gave Monty Python his parrot after he killed it and had it stuffed. (Ref. The Dead Parrot Sketch)

Polly want a coffin? You can be replaced….

Does Polly want to start “pining for the fjords?”

“Can I have that paper when you’re done with it?”

Y’know, since he has a glass of wine by him how does he know the parrot is really saying that or if it’s just alcohol induced?

Sheik Yerbouti great video clip.

Polly want to sit in the oven @ 350 deg. for 20 min/lb?

pawnraider, after that comment by Polly, I’d be worried about what the bird slipped into the wine.

Sheik, that was just a mild version why I hate Family Guy.

I hate Family Guy also. For both the swearing and the stupidity.

“What did the chicken do to deserve such a fate?”

I love Family Guy just for the record. I love swearing and stupidity because I have choices. I chose to watch it and chose to NOT let my kids watch it. I know some people who hate Sponge Bob! How can ya hate Sponge Bob? Jeez relax people! I thought we were all here for the entertainment….just sayin”

I want that lamp!

Cool “WHHHip”

Newspaper guy has to be a lawyer. You reap what you sow…

polly needs that newspaper under the perch

Either that or a doctor.

Polly wants to neuter the spammer!

Sheik, et al.: Family Guy can make me laugh, and cringe in horror for laughing, at the same time. And yet, I keep watching, because once in a while it’s actually funny without making me feel like a need to take a bath afterward…once in a long while.

Seth MacFarlane is a brilliant comedian and voice actor (and not a bad singer, either). But he is One Sick Puppy.

Reminds me of the old joke about the parrot in the freezer…..

What is the joke?

It is when Polly wants to be in the “Witness Protection Program” that you need to worry. Of course that would mean that polly has become a stool pigeon and who would call a pigeon, Polly?

Should have signed a pre-nup with Polly.

I trust my pet more than I trust my [human] next of kin.

Iwa Iniki: A man owned a parrot who had belonged to someone with an extremely vulgar vocabulary. Having small children in the house, he tried everything he could think of to curb the bird’s use of such language. One day he got so fed up, he put the parrot into his freezer and left it there for a few minutes. When he released the bird, it was so polite and never said a bad word. After a little while, the parrot addressed the owner and said: “Excuse me sir. Might I inquire as to what the chicken did?”

That chicken spoke foully too, but didn’t learn to change after the first freezer event.

I like Family Guy too; but when you get five-minute-long Chicken fights and long Conway Twitty excerpts, you know that the writers are running out of material and the show is well on the way to Jumping the Shark.

@colt380 - I have heard a recipe for parrot soup - it goes: boil a large stone with your parrot until the stone is soft and tender. Discard the parrot and eat the stone.

I can just see my two children faces when Polly reads the will.
