We’ve all been present at some party or event at which someone trots out the funniest part from a Monty Python sketch, or even worse attempts to do the entire 200-line routine in two or more poorly punctuated British accents. If this hasn’t yet happened to you, you obviously haven’t been a techie long enough. There are, you see, 10 types of techies in any organization. There are those who repeat Monty Python jokes and those fated to listen to them over and over again.
Generally speaking there is no median, no in between. It is either A or B, on or off. Nothing but dead air separates those who trot out the old skits and listeners politely repressing their inner psychopath. One should consider that frightening fact before leaping into the frivolity of the dead parrot sketch but since we’re talking about the closing of the Open Directory Project, or DMOZ, today I think it’s worth taking the risk.
So this guy walks into a pet store, or more realistically, blogged a complaint about DMOZ in 2006…
Customer: … I wish to complain about this parrot what I purchased not half an hour ago from this very boutique.
