Ding Dong Norwegian Blue

I won't walk in the rain but I am willing to walk in the snow. It verged on sleet at times but remained reliably solid form for the time I was out there. It was really very pretty.

In response to the questions about the fate of yesterday's lead character I am torn between the reply suggested by this:That response would quote the coroner who says, "And she's not only merely dead, she's really most sincerely dead."

Or I could reply as suggested by this:That response would be as spoken by Mr. Cleese and for which Mr. Chapman also receives a writing credit:" 'E's not pinin'! 'E's passed on! This parrot is no more! He has ceased to be! 'E's expired and gone to meet 'is maker! 'E's a stiff! Bereft of life, 'e rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed 'im to the perch 'e'd be pushing up the daisies! 'Is metabolic processes are now 'istory! 'E's off the twig! 'E's kicked the bucket, 'e's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisible!! THIS IS AN EX-PARROT!! "

A house has fallen on that ex-bird and the only way it will stand on a perch ever again is if it is NAILED there.

Happy Thanksgiving. May it be bird free. Except for the turkey, of course.
