CUSTOMER: "Look, matey, I know a dead parrot when I see one, and I'm looking at one right now."
PET-SHOP OWNER: "No, no he's not dead, he's -- he's resting! Remarkable bird, the Norwegian blue, isn't it, aye? Beautiful plumage!"
-- From "Monty Python's Flying Circus"
11:45 a.m., Melrose Hotel, Foggy Bottom: It's Day 7 of the Clinton Campaign Death Watch -- a full week since the official arbiter of the Democratic primary, Tim Russert, declared the campaign over and Barack Obama the nominee. Hillary Clinton's advisers continue to insist that the candidate's prospects are very much alive, but the press isn't buying it. Exhibit A: There are two press buses waiting at the hotel here for Clinton's trip to her victory rally in West Virginia, but the entire press contingent doesn't quite fill one. It isn't until the entourage arrives at Dulles Airport that Clinton aides learn that the second bus is still idling, empty, at the hotel.
If there is importance in the results of the primary in West Virginia, the press corps isn't letting on . . .
CUSTOMER: "That parrot is definitely deceased, and when I purchased it not half an hour ago, you assured me that its total lack of movement was due to it being tired and shagged out following a prolonged squawk."
PET-SHOP OWNER: "Well, he's, he's, ah, probably pining for the fiords."

How funny is that!!
Bring out your dead.
I’m not dead yet.
Yes he is.
Don’t be such a spoiled sport.
Look, matey, I know a dead parrot when I see one, and I’m looking at one right now. It’s not pinin’, it’s passed on! This parrot is no more! It has ceased to be! It’s expired and gone to meet its maker! This is a late parrot. It’s a stiff. Bereft of life, it rests in peace, if you hadn’t nailed it to the perch, it would be pushing up the daisies! It’s rung down the curtain and joined the choir invisible! This is an ex-parrot!
She’s pinin’ for the fjords?
Of course she’s pinin’ for the fiords, she’s a Norwegian blue.
Where are the reports from inside the clintoon camp?

The ashtrays will come out if Barak is announced as the nominee.

Looks like you’ve already been directed to the HTML sandbox thread - good instructions there.
You first need to host the pic somewhere like photobucket.com, or tinypic.com, then you get an HTML link generated to cut and paste into your post.
Cheers!
