Choir Invisible? Yup. That's one dead parrot. (Marvelous plumage, though!)

[gardnerhill]

The plumage don't enter into it! It's bleeding demised!

Guess I better replace it then, eh?

[pompey01]

Only Holmes can make the sanitized version of "mf snakes on this mf plane!" sound just as badass as the original. :)

I'm ashamed I didn't catch the "choir invisible" Monty Python reference, but the ending line was wonderful and I thoroughly enjoyed Watson in the role of Fey Wrey. (or however it's spelled)

I tried to recapture the emotional equivalent of Sam Jackson's rant, Victorian-style.

I threw a lot of stuff in this one - Snakes on a Plane, King Kong (with Fay Wray), and couldn't resist making the one parrot casualty a Norwegian Blue.
