Brevity by Dan Thompson for February 15, 2012

I like You. Warped.

“City zoo, how may I direct your call? … … Hold please”“Sir, it’s a ‘Dr Honeydew’ on line 1”

Should be a snap to tell the mascot from a real bird.

….Oh, did I say “snap?”I mean zipper.

Polly want a cracker??

They probably put salt on his tail!!!

good one.

The Lightning and the Rays both fired their mascots.

“There’s Gonna’ Be A Jailed Beak Tonight” is a great song by Thin Lizzy.

It was invisible before? I heard the dude in the costume got the name Beaker because he drank out of beakers in the science labs…that would explain a lot………

“Awwrrrk – Beaker wants a (safe)cracker. Awwrrrk”

How much did you guys get for that Dunkin’ Donuts product placement?

Today, Dunkin’ Donuts is America’s largest retailer of coffee-by-the-cup, serving nearly 1.5 billion cups of brewed coffee each year. Dunkin’ Donuts team of experts carefully oversees its coffee to ensure a consistently high quality cup – from the coffee cherries on the farm to the precise standards for brewing and serving Dunkin’ Donuts coffee in stores. As coffee is viewed more and more as a commodity, Dunkin’ Donuts Tree-to-Cup program is a revolutionary approach to coffee management. The company proactively establishes and monitors stringent specifications for quality starting at the coffee farms and throughout the entire coffee production process.

Odd, this giant parrot keeps saying, “My zipper’s stuck, my zipper’s stuck….”

Beaker was a physicians assistant on the Muppets. He could talk, but no one could understand him.

Making a costume of real feathers is not easy; only my mask was covered with feathers from my cockatoo, but I wore this for Halloween over 10 years.

Introduce him to Pilsner from Monty. They’ll make great buddies!

…This reminds me of poor Clarence Beaks in the Ape outfit from ’Trading Places".
