Bad Parrot

Bad Parrot



A young man named John received a parrot as a gift. The parrot had a bad attitude and an even worse vocabulary.Every word out of the bird's mouth was rude, obnoxious and laced with profanity. John tried and tried to change the bird's attitude by consistently saying only polite words, playing soft music and anything else he could think of to 'clean up' the bird's vocabulary.

Finally, John was fed up and he yelled at the parrot. The parrot yelled back.John shook the parrot and the parrot got angrier and even more rude. John, in desperation, threw up his hand, grabbed the bird and put him in the freezer. For a few minutes the parrot squawked and kicked and screamed. Then suddenly there was total quiet. Not a peep was heard for over a minute.

Fearing that he'd hurt the parrot, John quickly opened the door to the freezer.

The parrot calmly stepped out onto John's outstretched arms and said "I believe I may have offended you with my rude language and actions. I'm sincerely remorseful for my inappropriate transgressions and I fully intend to do everything I can to correct my rude and unforgivable behavior."

John was stunned at the change in the bird's attitude.

As he was about to ask the parrot what had made such a dramatic change in his behavior, the bird spoke-up, very softly,
"May I ask what the turkey did?"

I always put my Christmas Tree up on Thanksgiving Day and my son decorates it while I set out all the other decorations. I got a new tree last year for this year so ALL the lights work! http://files.myopera.com/Tamil/Smilies/Applause.gif - http://files.myopera.com/Tamil/Smilies/Dance.gif -

The majority of mine was I guess, a Thanksgiving Day Brunch.
At that time it was just my parents, my youngest sister, her husband and her daughter and me. We didn't know for sure who all else was going to show up. We were hungry at 10:30AM, so we decided, what the heck. We'll just eat NOW. We had to sacrifice a little bit though. Since one of my nieces was supposed show up later with the Chile con Queso (Cheese Dip) and the Tostadas (Corn Chips), we had to make do without those at that time. And since one of my other sisters was supposed to show up later with the Pumpkin Pies, we had to also make do without dessert at that point and time. irked

But, the Chile con Queso and the Pumpkin Pies eventually arrived and we pounced on them. http://files.myopera.com/Tamil/Smilies/Whistle.gif -

And then later, I thought of you, Annette. Awwwww!
Okay, so it was when I was watching the Dallas Cowboys play the Miami Dolphins and Tony Romo threw 2 Interceptions. bomb mad Yeah, I remembered you were defending Tony Romo previously when I was allegedly a Fair Weather Fan. http://files.myopera.com/Tamil/Smilies/LOL.gif -

Day-Um! There were 5 lead changes during the game and it went down to the last seconds. I had already given up and chalked it up to a Cowboys loss. But, the Cowboys managed to Abracadabra themselves into Field Goal range and kicked the winning Field Goal as time ran out. The Cowboys won 20 - 19.

SummerAngel Friday, November 25, 2011 5:54:28 PM

See, Romo came through for the Cowboys! And, since I don't like the Dolphins, it couldn't have been against a better team! http://files.myopera.com/Tamil/Smilies/Happy.gif -

Suntana Friday, November 25, 2011 9:39:21 PM

Last week he almost pulled another one of his infamous unfortunate screwups and he might have cost them the game yet again if it hadn't been for some serendipity.

They were in overtime against the Washington Redskins.
They were now all set to kick the Field Goal that would win them the game. Romo is the Holder on Field Goals. Romo saw that the Play Clock was about to run out, so he called a Timeout. The thing is, the Cowboys had no more Timeouts! yikes That ill-advised stunt would have smacked them with a 15-yard penalty and probably taken them out of Field Goal Range. Luckily for Romo, about 2 seconds before he called Timeout, the Redskins had called a Timeout. So, the Timeout was charged to the Redskins. Crisis averted ... and Romo didn't get lynched.

Suntana Friday, November 25, 2011 9:41:52 PM

Wow! You don't like the Dolphins?
Any particular Player or reason why?

Dolphins players not fans of Tebow Day
Posted by Mike Florio on October 26, 2011, 4:22 PM EST
Dolphins tight end Anthony Fasano isn’t happy with “sick” fans of the team, who want the won-loss record to be sufficiently bad to secure dibs on Andrew Luck. Fasano and at least one teammate also aren’t happy with the franchise’s decision to celebrate Tebow’s college team during a Dolphins home game.

“It was awful,” Fasano told Joe & Evan of WFAN, via SportsRadioInterviews.com, regarding the celebration of the Florida 2008 national title team. “Showing up at the stadium and seeing all the Gator stuff and the Tebow stuff. It was disheartening,

"I think he’s a running back playing quarterback with a high football IQ," Bell said. "At the end of the day, when his career gets on down the road, he may even have to switch positions."

Meanwhile, multiple members of the Dolphins roster will eventually be faced with the prospect of switching careers, especially since they were unable to beat that running back playing quarterback with a high football IQ. http://files.myopera.com/Tamil/Smilies/LOL2.gif -

Suntana Sunday, November 27, 2011 3:10:53 AM

Speaking of GH, Annette ... well, we WERE talking about Chihuahua Kirsten at my Blog. lol
Anyway, sooo, was the Thanksgiving Day meal on GH ruined?
I've heard from my youngest sister that it is tradition that somehow, the Thanksgiving Day meal on GH is ALWAYS ruined and they usually have to end up ordering Pizza or going with some other Plan B.

The Quartermaines (Alan and Monica) usually had a big fight and ruined Turkey Day. After making up and while wearing remnants of their Thanksgiving meal, they ate the pizza they HAD to order. http://files.myopera.com/Tamil/Smilies/ThumbsUp.gif -

When that happens to me, I open up IE and insert the code. http://files.myopera.com/Tamil/Smilies/ThumbsUp.gif -

I know that would be hard for you using your dial up. Would you would have to close Opera to open IE, or could you have both open at the same time?

Suntana Sunday, November 27, 2011 9:37:53 PM

To use IE, I simply minimize Opera or preferably close it since my HP Pavilion is RAM-challenged.

It's the same when I use AOL.
Well, AOL of course always has to be ON / Connected since it IS my ISP. When I'm using Opera, which is of course most of the time ... my AOL will be minimized. But, if I do want to check out some things with AOL, I just minimize or close Opera and bring AOL to the forefront.

On the periodic misbehaving episodes by MyOpera, I do sometimes have to venture into trying out AOL and IE to ascertain whether the problem is with Opera, MyOpera, AOL, my computer or just exactly what.

In hearing the 5 Fox Sports Commentators on Sunday mornings, there seems to be a feeling of - the jury is still out - as to whether Tebow is gonna be able to fully make the transition to the NFL. The consensus is that he's underachieving at the moment.

SummerAngel Monday, November 28, 2011 1:11:54 AM

Tebow will be just fine once I FedEx him some Gatorade. http://files.myopera.com/Tamil/Smilies/ThumbsUp.gif -

He'll find his groove and he won't be the backup quarterback forever. Orton didn't fair well the first two quarters. The outcome of the game would have been different if Tebow had been the starting quarterback.

Suntana Monday, November 28, 2011 2:49:52 AM

If you want to double your chances of succeeding, send him some of that Walmart Pseudo-Energy Drink to pour into the Gatorade. http://files.myopera.com/Tamil/Smilies/LOL2.gif -

Was Tebow drafted #1 or thereabouts?

I'm trying to remember which of those 5 Fox Sports Commentators said recently that Tebow was his "my man" because he had "the Body of a Greek God." bigeyes http://files.myopera.com/Tamil/Smilies/LOL2.gif - It might have been Terry Bradshaw who said it.

First round draft pick, 25th selection overall.
http://www.usatoday.com/sports/football/nfl/broncos/2010-04-22-tim-tebow_N.htm And the Broncos paid a strong price to get Tebow, giving up a second, third and fourth round draft pick to move up.

L2D2 Monday, November 28, 2011 6:56:38 AM

Chuck, on GH this Thanksgiving, Jason and Sam were talked into attending the Quartermaines' dinner. They were squabbling and arguing as usual when Jason got mad, stood up and overturned the whole table, spilling the Thanksgiving dinner all over the floor, then he stalked out.

I must have went to sleep before that happened. I saw where Edward decided to break the Quartermaine Thanksgiving Pizza tradition and had cook prepare a traditional Thanksgiving meal for Michael, Jason, and Sam. I did see Jason get really mad when Tracy was talking smack about Sam.

I really don't like this rape on the honeymoon storyline. I don't look forward to seeing GH like I usually do.

I'm loving OLTL. I think Ford and Jessica make a great couple.

Suntana Tuesday, November 29, 2011 12:26:51 AM

Oh, Okay, Annette, with all the talk I heard about Tebow, I had the impression he had been a #1 Overall Draft Pick ... the Big Cahuna of his Draft. Not that any 1st Rounder shouldn't deliver.

That's what burns me up, chaps my hide ... seeing all these 1st Rounders demand the Millions and then Ohhh! They gotta learn the Fugging Ropes. WTF? If they ask and get more money than most of the veterans on the team, they should deliver immediately like a veteran.

I'll be seeing the Dallas Cowboys' Tyrone Smith (1st Round Draft Pick) being manhandled and pushed back on his Ass. I'll be, "WHAT? WTF are you doing on your Ass? You're being paid millions to knock your opponent on HIS Ass and to prevent anyone and everyone from getting anywhere near the Quarterback. WHY are you on your 300-plus pound Ass?" irked http://files.myopera.com/Tamil/Smilies/LOL.gif -

Suntana Tuesday, November 29, 2011 12:32:50 AM

Alrighty then, Peppermint, I see that the GH Thanksgiving WAS a traditional one. http://files.myopera.com/Tamil/Smilies/ROFL.gif -
I guess the Writers have to give the Viewers what they no doubt want to see. If a traditional Thanksgiving meal in Real Life is expected to be a certain way, then the GH Thanksgiving episode is expected to be a certain way. It would probably be a letdown and boring to the Viewers if the Writers surprised them with a nice, friendly, well-behaved syrupy Thanksgiving episode.

To my knowledge, Tebow didn't demand or ask for anything. All indications are he is a very humble guy who is truly thankful to be playing football.

Annette, I missed the episode where Sam was raped, and they have not mentioned that word since I started watching again. I had deduced that that is what happened to her by the conversations and way she's been acting.

P.S. You never did answer my question (on Chuck's blog) about where Kirsten Storm is now and why isn't she on the show?

Thanks. I have a great niece who had that so bad she ended up having to have a hysterectomy when she was in her early 20s. And she wanted babies so much. But that condition caused her horrible pain for many years before doctors decided she'd probably never get pregnant so went ahead and did the hysterectomy.

Suntana Wednesday, November 30, 2011 2:45:26 AM

Actually, I thought Annette HAD answered the question regarding Kirsten Storms. Or at least someone did somewhere. I distinctly remember someone saying that at the beginning of the show, they had been saying that "due to illness," Maxie will be played by _____ . Or was that you who said that, Peppermint?

Suntana Wednesday, November 30, 2011 2:47:35 AM

I take it Jason doesn't know that Sam was raped?
Otherwise, he'd Coon Dog the Scumball and in typical Jason style ... make him disappear. scared

Jason enters the shack in Hawaii and finds a bottle of beer with a note. He assumes it's from Sam. He sips the beer, opens the letter and reads, "A toast to the grand finale. You'll never guess what happens next." Sam returns to an empty house and finds a letter waiting and bottle of beer waiting for her as well. It says, "I'm way ahead of you."
http://soaps.sheknows.com/generalhospital/update/id/14171/The_Ladys_Looking_For_Trouble/
Jason wakes up in a strange room. He sees Franco's monkey on the TV monitor. The monitor switches to the Hawaiian hut so he can see Sam taking a shower. Jason desperately yells out for Franco to come after him and to leave Sam alone. He watches on the monitor as Franco approaches Sam in the shower.
http://soaps.sheknows.com/generalhospital/update/id/14185/Lead_The_Way/
In his secluded room, Jason watches on the monitor as Sam passes out in the shower. Franco catches her and carries her away. Jason desperately screams out as he sees Franco lay Sam on the bed. After Franco starts to undress, he talks to Jason through the camera saying, "I'd like some privacy. It is the lady's honeymoon after all." He blocks the view of the camera, leaving Jason to stew as Franco's monkey shows up on the screen.

Suntana Thursday, December 1, 2011 12:10:26 AM

Grrrrrrr! furious I don't know who Franco is, but point him out to me.
I'll tear him apart limb from limb. mad
Then after he's like Steve Austin, a man barely alive ...
I'll force him to watch a Baseball game, a Soccer game and a Golf tournament.
THAT will teach him to do that to Sam. norris

I'll have to download it tomorrow.
But, for now I read some of the comments.
What do you think of that person claiming he knows for a fact from a Spoiler that he's read, that Franco didn't actually rape Sam. He just made it appear that way to get under Jason's skin?

Mad Scientistqlue Thursday, December 1, 2011 3:02:18 AM
