I knew an amazon that did the music from Jurassic Park. Perfect for the little T-Rex. When the T-Rex's pupil would narrow from the flashlight in it's eyes, so would the pupils on Bogart the amazon. If you know amazons, that means hide your fingers or they might get bitten off.
My daughter's conure was about the same size as an Amazon Parrot, and it would bite too. It hurt but no where near finger removal. I gave it a fingernail flick on the beak when it did that and it soon stopped doing it to me. [:-]
Couldn't train it not to poop everywhere in the room though. Nor to give up its shrill whistle that hurt the ears.

I was being hyperbolic about biting fingers off. I should have been parabolic.

Don't Gorns already have x-ray vision? Or is it infrared vision?

[:D] I didn't know Darth Vader had a pet!
Oddly enough, even though I am retired, the wife and I and a couple of others started a hemp drying biz (hemp, not weed). So one of our biz partners was so tired of seeing biz cards at trade shows with the normal titles of CEO, CFO, etc that he suggested we give ourselves Star War names. I am the negotiator so my card reads Darth Vader. And I have 5 dogs! So there you go.

Did they give you the Darth Vader title because of heavy breathing and a short temper? Did your Emperor have wrinkles?

My dad (an ex-navy man) had both hemp and sisal ropes in the basement that we kids used in a lot of our play - like tying the "bad guys" to a post when we played cops and robbers. Never forget the smell of hemp. I think it was also used to make burlap sacks? What do you do with your dried hemp?

I know a nice young man who's been waiting forever for a woman...he's rich, too. They should hook up. His name is King Tut.

What does his hookup profile read? Must love scarab beetles? Love their mummy?

While I do have heavy breathing and sometimes a short temper, it was more about being merciless in negotiations. We just dry the hemp and give it back to the farmers, but many of them are looking for a more 'full service' product. Most of it eventually gets turned into CBD oil, tinctures, etc. But it is the Wild West in terms of regulations, people of questionable reputations etc. We might eventually invest in being able to produce CBD oil but in the current environment we are in a bit of capital preservation mode. Has been an interesting learning experience though. And I like to learn.

It is odd how hemp got regulated out of commerce years ago when it makes some of the best ropes. There's also a product called hempcrete. Basically cinder block shaped things that weigh almost nothing but you can use to face your basement, etc. Made from the stems of the plant.

I wonder why so many assume that hell is a warm place. What if it is a really cold place?

Scandinavian Hell is cold but for the people in the Middle East, that might have been a nice change - at least for awhile.

If you drive to Trandheim, you will either drive through Hell or near it.

I think there is mention of fire and brimstone (Sulphur) in connection with the biblical Hell (and sometimes my bathroom ...)

[&:] I've never read to fish before. Do they have to be perches or will large mouth bass do? Should they have a law degree?

No, you have to find some Perches before you can read it. One just won't do, you have to have two or more there.

I can't be satisfied with my porches either - I live an apartment and my little balcony does not qualify as a porch. It is creepy that they want to stand behind me on my porch though ...
