So I was taking some pics of stuff to sell on Ebay...
I bought a bunch of silverplated dishes at an estate sale a few weeks ago, and I was taking pictures of them to list on Ebay when I realized there was no way to convey the size of these things. I don't know where my tape measure is, so I figured it might be a good idea to take their pictures with some piece of food for scale. Food goes with dishes, right? I had an apple lying around, so I decided to use that (we all know about how big an apple is, and it's non-messy and self-contained, and pretty-loking).

I had everything laid out, ready for the big shoot, and then my digital camera ran out of batteries. I walked into the bathroom to get batteries out of the charger, and look what I found when I got back!





So now some of the Ebay postings I make will just have to show an apple with a "bite" out of it...

Runs around in underwear
Beakazoid! Beakazoid!

Rescues Washington D.C.
Beakazoid! Beakazoid!
Unless something better's on TV
Beakazoid! Beakazoid!

His brain's overloading
It has an apple coating
Textbook case for Sigmund Freud
Beakazoid! Beakazoid!

Check out Gideon the bird
Sick fighting with class
Went surfing on the internet
Watch out or he’ll bite your ass

He turned into the Beakazoid
He's strong and super-quick
He drives the villains crazy
'Cause he's a lunatic

He likes to fight the Beakaspring
Beakazoid! Fricassee!
Floyd the Vet clips his wings!
Beakazoid! Chimpanzee!

Rides around in the Beakmobile
Beakazoid! Beakazoo!
Hopes to make a movie deal
Beaka me! Beaka you!

He's here to save the nation
So stay tuned to this station
If not, we'll be unemployed
Beakazoid! Beakazoid!
Beakazoid!!!

2. Just out of curiosity....
does your bird, you know, use a litter box or such? Since it roams free?
I always wondered that when you post pictures of him/her wandering free causing trouble.

5. I can usually catch him in time to get him to go on a puppy pad

He will also go when told, "Go potty!" and I can take him outside and have him do that.

For the occasional accident, there is a product called Poop-Off that works wonders.

And when we're out, or in the car, he'll say "Potty!" when he needs to go.
