We were in a PetCo the other day, the one in Natick that often hosts adoption events, etc. We were just there to pick up some bunny treats and visit the critters. I walked up to the bird area, and said "Oh, look at the cockatiels!"
and Paul said
"I thought those were called Popcornbirds!" ;)
Haha, that's so funny :D:D:D Way to make a website that messes people up, Karen. ;);) hehe, just kidding. You know we love it.
*snicker*
Lmao!!!!!!!
Lol, I guess we are all brainwashing each other ;) :p
Well I think Paul has the right idea and who knows, it may catch on. There are certainly enough of us sprinkled all over the country/world to plant the seed. Cockatiels, aka Popcornbirds. Our Popcornbird certainly deserves the honor of having a bird named for her.
Oh, that's just TOO funny! Thanks for sharing this, Karen! It put a smile on my face! :D
*giggles* ..
so paul didn't closed his eyes afterall! ;)
aw, ((paul))
:D:D:D
That is so funny! So, so funny. So now, in Paul's world, tiels are all known as Popcornbirds? HE HE HE. I will HAVE TO tell the tiels that. ;)
How funny!!!
In fact I am doing a similar thing! EVERY time I see a cat (or a dog too), I always immediately think "He he, that cat looks exactly like ..... on PT!!"
I don't mind being brainwashed :p ;)
Lol!!!:d :d :d
Way to go, Paul! That is the correct name for all Cockatiels!
Willie :D

:D LOL! This thread is so funny!
This made my day! (But I know how Paul feels, I do the same thing!)
WAIT! Pet Talk DOES RULE! (Our way of thinking )
I LOVE it! Way too funny.
I met a couple last night that told me they had 14 cats. My first reply: "Are you on Pet Talk?" I then went into this conversation about pillars, the dog house, etc. Everyone in the room looked at me like I am a complete moron!
LOL, sirrahved! :D That's too funny... and no, you're not a moron! :)
I do that too when I meet people at PetSmart or anywhere there are animals. I am always saying "I have a friend that has one like that", meaning someone on PT. I met a lady at a cat show and went on and on about PT and what wonderful things people here have done and how someone is always sending someone something through the mail for their pets or making donations to help someones pet. People just can not grasp the love that is shared here without experiencing it. I know a lot of Eddies friends, nurses, and in laws were amazed at the cards that came from my "internet friends".... They would look so surprised as they walked away.
Haha! :D
Laura- I'm guilty of that too. >.<
*giggles* hehe
:) How funny too.. Know I catch myself too ID each kind of pet to a PT'r.. What even worse is all the people I have told about Pet Talk.. Just yesterday in Walmart a lady wanted help on what cat litter was the best & after we rambled on about our babies = here I went about she needed to join Pet Talk.. :D
I think the term "BORG" may be appropriate here. :eek:
Only a PTer would understand that. Someone from work asked me if I wanted to go camping Memorial Weekend. I explained why I couldn't (PT Meeting in Ohio) and they looked at me like I was crazy! Someone said, "you're going that far for a website?" I had to remind her that the net has been very good to me. I met my hubby on the net, went from New Mexico to Chicago for him, so Chicago to Ohio is small peanuts!
BTW, I'm so excited for the shindig!
Yeah, I'm ALWAYS talking about dogs on Pettalk. People must think I have a hundred dogs! :rolleyes:
LOL too funny!
I can't go into a Petco or supply store without thinking of a PTer anymore. 'Oh, so and so has that' 'needs that' or whatever. :p
Popcornbirds!! *lol*
That is sooo funny!! I too think of certain members / pets on Pet talk when I go to petsmart or see certain colored animals..
SO FUNNY! :D
Oh Paul - bless him! :D

lol I am planning my work vacation over the kelowna PT meeting, I just sort of beat around the bush of WHY I need to cunsult so many people that I have never met about my vacation time.. :p
