BLOGGING FROM THE BAR

So this parrot walks into a bar and . . . Wait, that’s a different story.

Here’s a new twist on blogging: A bar with a blog. The Green Parrot, Key West, Fla., has launched The Green Parrot Bar No Snivelling Zone.

It’s an experiment, they say -- yeah, right, soon enough they’ll be as hooked as the rest of us -- with “regular updates on the latest happenings” at the Green Parrot.

Wish them the best. After all, the blog, they add, is “the closest thing to a webcam we’ll get!”
