Given the number of geeks with blogs, I'm sure I'm not the only person to think of this, but I couldn't help myself:
This is an ex-parrot!
In the same vein, I once thought it'd be funny to title an article about the new F150 "Pining for the Fords", only to find that I was, like, the 5,000th person to think of it.
Before the web, I could delude myself into thinking I was of a singular wit.
Not that your gag isn't beautifully-crafted and totally original.
Cuz It is.

Is it okay that I totally don't get it? I even tried saying 'this is an ex-parrot' in a funny voice to see if it made a difference, but no dice.

It's a Monty Python thing, and it's ok that you didn't get it because neither did I--that particular bit goes on way too long for my taste and attention-span.
But I love the idea of you standing around saying, "This is an ex parrot" in a funny voice.

No, it's not. It's just resting!
