POLLY WOLLY

Polly is one of those words that you can just repeat. You know, say it over and over and it won't be long before it becomes funny.

Or stupid, I guess. I don't think this picture is of a polliwog, it's far too big, but it made me think of one. Which got me to thinking about Polly Wolly Doodle all the day. Or Polly want a cracker? Why would a parrot want a cracker anyhow?

I met a guy from Bolivia yesterday who had a parrot on his shoulder. The parrot's name was Blondie. She was 18. He about 70. He said Blondie should live to be 80, so he drew up a will and is leaving Blondie to his son. The point? Blondie didn't want or have any need of a cracker. The guy's collar was attractive enough to her.

"Maybe you have to figure out who you were before you can figure out who you want to be." Noah Bennett from the tv show Heroes. I like that quote and it directly relates to Polly. Somehow.

If Steffie Graff, the athlete, got married in one of those states that allow same sex marriages, to a woman named Polly, would her partner be named Polly Graff?
