****** The return to SCT of the silly old fool Krypto reminds me of
the dead parrot sketch from Monty Python.




Mr. Praline : I wish to make a complaint!

Owner : (hurriedly) Sorry, we're closin' for lunch...!

Mr. Praline : Never mind that, my lad. I wish to complain about
Krypsis, what I purchased not half an hour ago from this very
boutique.

Owner : Oh yes, the, ah, the Norwegian Blue... What's, ah... W-what's
wrong with it?

Mr. Praline : I'll tell you what's wrong with it, my lad. It's dead,
that's what's wrong with it.

Owner : No, no, 'e's ah... he's resting.

Mr. Praline : Look, matey, I know a dead Krypsis when I see one, and
I'm looking at one right now.

Owner : No no, h-he's not dead, he's, he's restin'!

Mr. Praline : Restin'?

Owner : Y-yeah, restin.' Remarkable bird, the Norwegian Blue, isn't
it, eh? Beautiful plumage!

Mr. Praline : The plumage don't enter into it. It's stone dead!

Owner : Nononono, no, no! 'E's resting!

Mr. Praline : All right then, if he's resting, I'll wake him up!

(shouting at the cage)


'Ello, Krypto! Mister Krypto! I've got a lovely fresh cuttle fish for
you if you wake up, Mr.Krypto...

(owner hits the cage)


Owner : There, he moved!

Mr. Praline : No, he didn't, that was you pushing the cage!

Owner : I never!!

Mr. Praline : Yes, you did!

Owner : I never, never....

(He pulls the old fart out of the cage and screams into its ear.)

Mr. Praline : 'ELLO KRYPTOOOOOO! KRYPTOOOO ! WAKE UP!

(He bangs its head against the store counter, horribly hard.)


TESTIIIING! TESTIIIING! THIS IS YOUR NINE-O' CLOCK ALARM CALL!


(He does it again, harder.)


KRYP....TOOOOOO!

(He tosses it up in the air and watches it plummet to the floor.
Longish pause.)


Now that's what I call a dead parrot.

Owner : No, no.... No, he's stunned.

Mr. Praline : STUNNED?

Owner : Yeah! You stunned him, just as he was wakin' up! Aussies stun
easily, major.

Mr. Praline : Look my lad, I've had just about enough of this. That
Krypsis is definitely deceased, and when I bought it not half an hour
ago, you assured me that its total lack of movement was due to it
being tired and shagged out after a long squawk.

Owner : Well, he's... he's, ah... probably pining for the desert.

(Praline looks angrily back and forth, stuttering.)


Mr. Praline : PININ' for the DESERT? What kind of talk is that? Look,
why did he fall flat on his back the moment I got 'im home?

Owner : The Norwegian Blue prefers kippin' on its back! Remarkable
bird, isn't it, guv, eh? Lovely plumage!

Mr. Praline : (coldly) Look, I took the liberty of examining Krypsis
when I got it home, and I discovered the only reason that it had been
sitting on its perch in the first place was that it had been NAILED
there.

(pause)


Owner : Well, of course it was nailed there! If I hadn't nailed that
bird down, it would have nuzzled up to those bars, bent 'em apart with
its little pecker, and VOOM!

Mr. Praline : "VOOM?"

(Praline puts the cage down and take the parrot into his hands.)


Mr. Praline : Look matey, Krypsis wouldn't "voom" if you put four
thousand volts through it! It's bleedin' demised!

Owner : It's not! I-It's pining!

Mr. Praline : It's not pinin,' it's passed on! This Krypto is no more!
It has ceased to be! It's expired and gone to meet its maker! This is
a late Krypto! It's a stiff! Bereft of life, it rests in peace! If you
hadn't nailed him to the perch he would be pushing up the daisies! Its
metabolical processes are of interest only to historians! It's hopped
the twig! It's shuffled off this mortal coil! It's run down the
curtain and joined the choir invisible! This.... is an EX-KRYPSIS!

Krypsis

The subject was the grabber intended to make people react.

Mission accomplished.

As to the validity of the of the subject, it's just pure bunk.

The trolls do what the trolls want to do, not for any altruistic
reasons, but "because they can".

The reason that Yahoo! lists and moderated forums are taking away
members is because most of these lists are unmoderated, and allow
antisocial behavior.
