I could understand your lack of expertise when it comes to maritime vessels, however with your hunting skills I am shocked that you could be confused about deceased Psittaciformes.

wtf is a Psittaciforme?? I take it from the latter posts that it may be a parrot... If so, where would my fishing/hunting knowledge help me decipher the scientific term for a parrot?? :no2:

You won't understand any of this until you are in your forties; it's just not allowed. :no2:

Upon entering your fifth decade, you will begin to attain a clarity of mind and thought which will enable you to decipher certain things, and, if you work at it (it does not refine itself, you see), you can do as we do, but not until then.

'Tis the price of youth, and the privilege of the aged. :)

J2 makes a vailid point about the age requirement to understand but my pointing to your hunting skills would be more about you knowing a dead parrot when you see one-------- In other words being able to tell the difference between a dead parrot and one that's pining :P


But in a penn and teller fashion see the dead parrot sketch here and be enlightened..... It's not the version that leads to the lumberjack song.:(

Which is too bad.
Those two sketches, originally aired back-to-back, are certainly amongst the highlights of 20th century comedy.

Ah, to be young, stoned and have those sprung upon your unsuspecting eyes for the first time again.
Good times, good times.:P
