    • Chipping Fog?


      Ambrosia's African Grey parrot mascot, Hector D Byrd, is quite a character. Just today he nose-dived into the smooth tile floors there at Ambrosia, with a remarkable "thud", and waddled into my office (leaving a trail of bird-droppings, no doubt to mark his return path).

      Hector climbed on on the chair next to me as I was busily working away, and he started mumbling something about "chipping fog". I really have no idea what he meant, but then again, he speaks with a slight speech impediment, so it could have been anything.

      "chipping fog chipping fog chipping fog chipping fog chipping fog chipping fog"

      His behavior has really been rather off lately. He then lapsed into speaking French, babbling on about "Sortir le jeu PoG" -- and then he turned around and mooned me! I think the (url="http://"http://cbc.ca/cgi-bin/templates/sportsView.cgi?/news/2001/08/23/Sports/mooner010823")French Candians are a bad influence(/url) on him.

      Well, whatever, I'm just going to get back to work here.

      Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level then beat you with experience.

    • Can I post this at MacGamer? I'm not sure what "chipping fog" is, but I'm sure it's significant.

      Granted, this case of mooning was poorly timed, but can we really blame Tamás for everything? The answer is yes, yes we can. 🙂

    • Heh, very interesting. This topic was on Ambrosia Banter and the Coldstone board. I would be willing to bet a lot of money it's on the PoG board too. 🙂

      Will I be the willow or the rod? You decide.

    • Isn't Hector a female? Or did you get him/her re-sexed and found out she/he is actually a male after all?

    • Thank you Andrew, for posting this enormously funny bit of information and thus making my day worthwhile due to the laughing I have just done! 😄

      I never knew it would be so difficult to think of a good signature.

    • Ok, so Hector was actually saying "Shipping PoG", but no one answered me. Has Hector been confirmed a boy or girl?
