This thread is a cheap rip-off, errr reverent homage, of The Maltese Falcon. Instead of the priceless black bird, we have a tatty dead parrot that is apparently changing color as he decomposes. [Can't you at least put him in a Zip-Loc bag?]


Quote:
So ... we should focus on the dame who appeared in the office of our fearless detective. She's clearly a bad 'un! And will bring nothing but trouble and sleepless nights to Rock Lobster.

Rock Lobster indeed! More like Lobster Mayonnaise, with a side of sensuous escargot sizzling in melted garlic butter!!

[Give me one of the readers now or I'm adding recluse to the story line as the Sidney Greenstreet character!]

None? But I once saw a movie that was based on it, and I seem to remember everybody killed the person, but all with different means... Naturally, as I have a terrible memory regarding movies, I could be completely wrong...

Absolutely. There's nothing worse than an informed and unrestrained public able to see how they're being screwed. Who wants a world where an informed market determines the price of goods through legitimate and educated demand. No, as Montsnmags Enterprises Small Business Consultants always recommend (aside from "You want to work in this town, you pay us, for...protection"), "The key to success in three words: Dissemble, Restrict, Manipulate"

[Montsnmags Enterprises in no way endorses any illegal activity, including but not limited to global monopolistic standover methods, consumption of psychotropic beverages, nor the inappropriate use of bars of any avian variety, unless at all times accompanied by an enormously funded hoard of undead legal advisors]
