Parrot Names for those with No Discernable Sense of Humor

Terry Pratchett or possibly Douglas Adams had a quote about people who name cats with puns to prove they have no sense of humor. I can't find the quote, but these tickle my funny bone.


Conure MacLeod
Jimmy Conures
Sarah Conures
Sandra Day O'Conure
Conure West
Tug Macaw
Tim Macaw
Cockatiel and Henatiel
Oats(for a Quaker)
If you have any ideas for this list, feel free to add to it!


Update: I'm disgusted that I missed "Chuck Conures"; now I feel Branded

I am republishing this for the sake of my own sense of humor.

My New Office Space


     So Sam now has the room my office was in, and my office is a sectioned off area of the front room. I like how the space turned out -a lot- and we are getting along most of the time. It's not easy to translate husband/wife to roommates, but it seems to be working at this point

     So what we did was wall off part of the room with bookcases to block sound, and partition it; I had to bring down some books, will need to bring down more to complete that sound barrier. I also have the DVDs in here with me, and who controls the DVDs controls Arrakis! (because I have the Dune DVD in here too)

     What I am most excited about tho, is my additional display space. I have my TFPrime and Classics style up and looking good

12-22-12

     So I feel I must post something about the feared end of the 13th Baktun, the date when the world as we know it, ceases to be...

     It was yesterday, and even tho I watched attentively, the seas were not overrun with fanged koalas on pontoon boats, the land was not boiling up with mole people from the center of the earth, and the skies were not filled end to end with flaming dolphins, each ridden by a Mayan with a stinger missile launcher.

     In short, just another day. Life goes on, la-la how the life goes on.


     On an unrelated note, yesterday was my wedding anniversary. My last, as we will be filing for divorce next month. There is a long story that goes with it, but I don't really feel like telling it just now. May the 14th Baktun bring everyone what they want, may peace guide the pla-anets and love steer the stars

Weird Place for Bacon

Weird Place for Bacon:
High efficiency washing machines.  

     This has been a weird, weird week.  Starting with Shawn deciding he was going to learn to play poker.  Yeah, that one was a real weird one for me.  Going to the laundry-mat to find bacon in the high-efficiency washing machine is another event.  You know how I knew it was super weird?  The guy who grew up in that family owned laundry-mat had never seen it before!  That's how I knew it was weird.  And then there's the story P.B. has got coming up here.  Let's just say the title of Ewwwwww . . . . is well earned!

     Are there any weird places you have found bacon?
