Don't let Brendan Frazier near it.

Were they dead?

[jmacusa]

“Were they dead?’’ Indeed. More over, are they merely dead or are they really most sincerely dead?

[EQAndyBuzz]

What you two are really asking is whether they were pining for the fjords?

[SunkenCiv]

Hey, letting him near *anything* that goes on screen is probably a big mistake. Although he must be easy to cast. George of the Jungle III, anyone?

[SunkenCiv]

Wow, kudos, that resulted in a really complex mixed cultural metaphor, shaken, not stirred.

[bgill]

I want some in my tomb!

“Wow, kudos, that resulted in a really complex mixed cultural metaphor, shaken, not stirred.”

I must confess, it was either that or the “Miracle Pill.” However, I could envision giving the parrot the miracle pill. Will the parrot awaken? It will be a miracle.

They've always reminded me of lawn ornaments. OTOH, I wouldn't mind having an Etruscan-style terracotta coffin.

[SunkenCiv]

"...and the parrot, still shivering, asked, 'what did that turkey say?'"

The First Lego Minifigs?

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

"Meh...they ain't so bad."

[SunkenCiv]

:^) more evidence that Hollywood never has an original idea.

[SunkenCiv]

Minifigs used to issue Forth for 8 bit machines, but that was a long time ago... /reprise the rimshot graphic

[SunkenCiv]

My brain hurts.

If anyone reading all of this wonders how to get the Miracle Pill, macaw your doctor.

[jim_trent]

I thought that they were supposed to be called “action figures”.

[SunkenCiv]

Only if they're miniature terracotta versions of ancient hookers.
