The Alabaster Parakeet

The insignia for the Order of the same name. The origin of the parakeet is one of the fundamental story in the shaping of the Order. The founder, R.M.M. Swigberry-Smythe II, is known to be descended from several families (the name Swigberry is an interesting story, but beyond the scope of this text). The most influential to the shaping of the Order is undoubtedly the Montagues, particularly Giambattista Montague. He was an eccentric Italian merchant/explorer in the 18th century who enjoyed collecting all manner of things from the countires he traveled to (his entire collection is thought to have been large enough to fill over half of the British Museum!) He also had several hundred acres of land, on which he kept all manner of animals, mostly birds. His favourite of all was a parakeet named Zipporah. Zipporah (or Old Zippy as he is known to Order members) was an extremly intelligent bird, who could perfrom all manner of tricks, even doing simple maths! When Zippy died age 68, Montague commissioned a statue of Zippy to be carved in alabaster as a centrepiece for his formal garden. Swigberry-Smythe was so moved my this story, he decided to create a group where eccentric upper-class like himself could meet and share interests, in memory of his ancestor and his beloved bird. And so, on September the 19th, 1915, he and 50 others from around the world met at his mansion in the first gathering of The Order of The Alabaster Parakeet. The rest, as they say, is history.

birmingham, alabama

By far one of the hardest cities in the country and most definately in the south east. gang violence is prevalent in west side neighborhoods such as ensley, greensprings, and west end, where homocides go undetected and uncared about. birmingham police don't pull you over if your suspicious, because they're being paid off by drug dealer to not get busted or bust their customers, cops are crooked and no one cares about anything but money and dope. southern suburban areas like mountain brook, vestavia hills and hoover are some of the wealthiest areas in the south. therefore depicting the 'hosing blacks in the streets' persona of birmingham from the 60s during the civil rights movement is still quite true to an extent. however the tables have turned. the blacks now sell drugs to the rich white kids, and since 2005 there has been a dramatic increase in young white teenage and college aged kids getting into hard drugs (opiates in particular). many would be suprised to know that birmingham is home to some of the purest cheapest heroin and cocaine in the country. What can I say, I'm from there, the girls are slutty and hot, the guys are pricks. and everyones on smack, yet still preach about loving god because the southern baptist coalition inlfluences everything.

I remeber Birmingham, Alabama I overdosed there. Let's go clubbing in Bimingham, Alabama this weekend. I passed out in an alley on 21st street in Birmingham, Alabama and woke up 2 days later with a rig in my pocket not knowing how it got there. I'm from Birmingham, Alabama and its hard as fuck!

alabama sledgehammer

This act has a cult following in the necrophilia and coprophilia underground where most acts are of a more humane and consenting nature than the original occurance in that all parties are alive by the end of the escapade.

The Alabama Sledgehammer is defined as a sexual excapade involving three men: a man lying face down on the bed who can be dead or alive, a black man wearing a batman suit, and a man who sodomises the lying man. The man in the batman suit defecates on the sodomiser's erect genetalia and stands in a super hero pose while the sodomiser sodomises the lying man. The difference between the necrophiles and the coprophiles is mainly the absence of the corpse, being that coprophiles dont alway's have the urge to sodomise corpses as necrophiles do.

alabama

A truly horrid place. The most corrupt people are given most of the power. We have the most corrupt court system in the country. Our police officers are akin to the mafia. A place where people will tolerate any kind of anti-social behavior as long as you say praise the lord. Theese same poor people are duped into voting for republicans, simply because they say I love Jesus, or I am a deacon in the church. Yet theese are the same people living high on the hog while the masses toil in poverty. I ask you Alabama is that what your religion is? Feeding off the powerless. The government officials are loathe to improve our schools for that very reason. That people will not buy the lies they are selling. I'm tired of hearing about polite southerners also. Most of them are so pig headed and rude they are intolerable. Outsiders look out we got no need for change here!

Alabama the most corrupt state in the union!

University of Alabama

A horrible college in the middle of Alabama; known for their constant beatings by crappy teams like Miss St. and Florida (who cares about them?).

Dude, did you hear about Alabama getting smacked around by Arkansas? Man, I bet even Virginia Tech could beat them!
