(when _is_ talk like a parrot day anyway? truly it would be most convenient for the likes of me if it fell at the fall of talk like a pyrate day: that would be, the day after. while stand the talks of pyrates, talks of parrotts shoulderstand. when fall the talks of pyrates, talks of parrotts fall!)

(perhaps you could persuade your grandmother it was actually speaking french, or something.) hey! we could have talk like a pirate parrot day! matey want a cracker? aaaak!

The Elegant Emsworth Sun Sep 21 17:44:00 2003 Re: R!!: ahoy, maties! Mon ami, my little grey cells are anxiously waiting International Talk Like Poirot day. Bon dieu, but such an event would prove pleasant and instructive and add an extremely literary flavor to the quality of life, n'cest pas?

Bon dieu, but such an event would prove pleasant and > instructive and add an extremely literary flavor to the quality of life, > n'cest pas? mais oui! it would be, how you say, first speed! and if we run out of wisecracks, we can always opt for 'talk like pierrot' day.

Teach it to say: Scuse my French. Now say: Scuse my French. Comeon, say it: Scuse my French. Say it, bird! What's wrong with this bloody bird? Defective parrot! Stew it in rum and serve it on toast! -- Stew it in rum and serve it on toast, yer eye! arrrk! ::nip to the earlobe, nip to the eyebrow, nip to the nose::
