Why a parrot?

Why not a lobster? After all, you could eat the lobster.

Have you ever heard a lobster sing? It's horrible, the B52s notwithstanding.

I have to agree. A Parrot is more of a companion and comic relief. You can eat him after the jokes get stale of course, but a lobster just doesn't add as much to the crew.

Yes, MacLowlife knows all about that. He ate Lord Lobster right after being granted arms... and claws.

Yeah, but stumping around on your peg leg with a lobster on your shoulder just. . .lacks the right sort of "presence" somehow.

Don Maltz the illustrator did a picture for one of his Pirate Calandars that shows a lad in a kilt on board ship. He is also the fellow who came up with "Capt. Morgan" for the rum commercial.
