OK...here I am, hard at work...er...actually if I was hard at work I would be on the other puter....Anyways, this is me and Percy, he was named after a very hard throwing reliever, for an AL west team other than the M's....can you guess who? I'm guessing Inside Fastball can.
Why did I name him that?Because if he bites you, it feels just as bad as a 95 mph fastball to the head.
I have the scars to prove it.

Notice two things:

1. Percy appears to be screaming in my ear: He is...I just pulled up the M's bullpen stats for last year...I screamed too

2. Not as noticable in the picture: Little Percy is bald. He pulled out all his feathers watching the M's bullpen self destruct last year...as a personal plea to Woody Woodward...please help the pen...my little boy needs his feathers.

As a side note, to answer the questions that usually follow seeing Perc...yes he does talk...it is a limited vocabulary...
"Hello
Hello Dad
Hello Pretty Bird
Hello boy
Hello Pretty Boy
Hello bird (and any other combination he can make of these words including repeating words multiple times...example: Hello pretty, pretty.pretty boy...in the most pitiful voice you have ever heard)
Step up
I wanna come out
no! (He hears this one alot)
OWWWW! (He usually says that after he nips me)
you be quiet
You be good bird, ok?
night night little bird
and SCREEEEEEEEECHHHHHHH"(When all of the former words don't garner my attention to his satisfaction..ie...he gets to come out of his cage...).
