The drinking bird always reminds me of "Alien".

Interesting video, thank you. I'm still not sure I understand it fully though. I think of "Darkman" with Liam Neeson when I see this device.

That bird betrayed Homer Simpson's ingenious plan to work from home as the nuclear plant's security officer.





I will never forgive it for that.

That's exactly how I first knew about the song. I had never heard it before I saw the FMJ.
