He's a lumberjack. Is he OK?

I know this lumberjack. He says all the time that he is OK, but I'm not so sure about it.
Like any lumberjack, he works all night cutting down trees, sleeps all day, eats his lunch and goes to the lavatory.
On Wednesdays he goes shopping and has butter scones for tea. Also, he skips and jumps and likes to press wild flowers. Those seem a bit unusual for a lumberjack, but they don't seem to be things to worry about.
What does worry me is that he puts on women's clothing (including high heels, suspenders and a bra) and hangs around in bars. He adds that he wishes that he'd been born a "girlie."
He insists that he is OK, often justifying his actions by saying that this is just like his papa.
Am I right to worry, or is he OK?

Your lumberjack is fine. But you might want to check on your parrot.

I'm assuming this a reference to something, but I have no idea what.

The pet shop owner told me that its total lack of movement was due to it being tired and shagged out following a prolonged squawk.

Yes, Monty Python.
Hmm, no lumberjack references in Spamalot that I can recall. We saw it last week. Fortunately, I hear a second production is in the works.

Probably also due to the fact that he nailed it onto the perch....

If he hadn't nailed that bird down, it would have nuzzled up to those bars, bent them apart with its beak, and VOOM! Feeweeweewee!

In high school, a bunch of guys did that Monty Python skit for a talent show. Funniest damn thing ever.

I don't think that bird would "voom" even if you put 1,000 volts through it!

How about 4000 volts?
Besides, it's pining.

Oooooooh! And I thought they were so butch!
Oh well, look on the bright side of life brothers (and sisters) and blame the Romans (Except in matters involving sanitation, medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh water system and public health).
Don't forget, a very wise man once said "Romanes Eunt Domus!"

The one, the only, the incomparable LSJUMB (Stanford marching band) did a Monty Python half time show complete with Trojan bunny. Of course, that was back in the 90s. No idea what the young whippersnappers are up to these days.
