Arriving at 419eater HQ post this morning was a surprise gift from a member here (I won't reveal the name just yet!), my own dead parrot!

As many of you will know, I like to use the dead parrot logo in some of my YouTube videos (example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDR9fgg-Uj4 ) and it's great to finally have my own DP to abuse Smile

A couple of pics are below, and I will try to find some way to incorporate my parrot into a bait soon:

Is it a Doctor X-Parrot?

Did it arrive from Notlob?

I want to see it holding a sign: PINING FOR THE FJORDS.

Look, I had the opportunity to examine that parrot at home, and the only reason it kept on that bust was because it was nailed there!

Can't blame British Rail for that!

Ah! the Norwegian Blue.

But it looks like 'E's a stiff! Bereft of life. Shocked

Did that vicious feline terminate him?

There was a minor skirmish a short while ago when R8's Eater van decided to try to get rid of the newbie arrival:

But the parrot won through in the end!

(Right. That's enough for my stupid photos for today!)

Does it talk?

No.

Then it's not much of a replacement then, is it?

Man: Good morning, I'd like to buy a cat.
Shopkeeper: Certainly sir. I've got a lovely terrier (indicates a box on the counter)
Man: no, I want a cat really.
Shopkeeper: (taking box off counter and then putting it back on counter as if it is a different box) Oh yeah, how about that?
Man: (looking in box) No, that's the terrier.
Shopkeeper: Well, it's as near as damn it.
Man: Well what do you mean? I want a cat.
Shopkeeper: Listen, tell you what, I'll file its legs down a bit, take its snout out, and stick a few wires through its cheeks. There you are, a lovely pussycat.
Man: It�s not a proper cat.
Shopkeeper: What do you mean?
Man: Well it wouldn't miaow.
Shopkeeper: Well it would howl a bit.

Agreed, Gnasher. That cat is truly outstandingly beautiful.

Yes, it is a specific breed Gnasher. She's a British short hair Silver Tabby. Here's some pictures of her, starting with pictures of Rosie when she was a kitten back in Feb 2005.

WARNING: Non cat people, don't scroll down!

She is an absolute beaut Shiver Razz

Posted: Sat Aug 11, 2007 2:29 pm

That is a gorgeous cat, Shiver (even though she is blowing out the forum Wink

) So......any dead parrot sculptures coming up any time soon?

Posted: Sat Aug 11, 2007 2:47 pm

Your cat is so photogenic Very Happy

Nice parrot, too.

Shiv - that Norweigan Blue has definetely shuffled off this mortal coil! Classic...
BTW - Rosie is absolutely gorgeous! Love the pics especially her snuggling up with the dogs. I've just lost 2 of my 3 kitties in the last couple of months - old age 14, and 15 yrs and now my 16 yr old Siamese is looking poorly. I think he's missing his buddies. Maybe it's time to introduce another one into the mix. What with a one year old grandaughter, a 5 year old dog with epilepsy and an aging moggy I just can't quite bring myself to do it just yet!

I also want to see it holding said sign Very Happy

also, excellent pictures, Shiver ^_^ I'm especially fond of the one with your cat looking as if it's seen some mugu's bad MS paint job Very Happy

I can just see it saying "What is it with these mugus and MS paint?"

Nice parrot, beautiful cat and while I'm at it, I also liked your fish tank with the calendar/clock in it. The leather couch wasn't bad either. . . Smile

Is it bad to have the hots for a cat?

Posted: Sat Aug 11, 2007 10:45 pm

@ yastreb

"We" don't get along because "we" don't nap, or atleast most of us gave it up at Kindergarten! Shocked

@ Shiv

Cute does not describe your cat! Cool
