When you are a famous and feathery actor, you get used to having admirers. It’s not like you are doing anything special to get fans.

Parrots like to travel – why else would they have wings? But they aren’t well-suited to the “economy style” traveling favored by many of their large featherless flock mates.

Some Mondays each year are definitely more preferred than others. Some Mondays, in fact, are so preferred they can even out-rank non-Monday days (such as Tuesdays or Wednesdays, for example, since typically the popular event known as “happy hour” doesn’t happen on those days). One such Monday is the annual event called “Christmas.” While notContinueContinue reading “Monday Happys: Happy Holidays!”
