Default Pyrite Parrot of Petaluma

Why does no one ever use the parrot's FULL name? As a Petaluma High School teacher, I must register my protest!

Go Trojans!

You forgot to say "of Petaluma". As in, "Ms. Smith of Petaluma". You fail at your own point.

Also leave science out of this. Science never did anything to you!

Hey nice! I was never a Trojan (went to SVHS for some reason I can't quite remember, after going to Grant and PJHS) but my mom was principal at Carpe Diem for quite a few years, and then was principal at McNear Elementary.

So, who had the idea of Petaluma for the Parrot? The first time I heard it was quite the giggle...

No clue. We're just South of Petaluma in San Rafael. I imagine it was Stemmle, as he wrote the first episode, but I know a few Telltale folks live there.

Science pretty much pays for everything of mine right now too. Well, organizing for the sake of science at least.

Pyrite is commonly reffered to as Fools Gold, as back in ye ol' gold diggin' days pyrite was often confused with as gold.

Still don't understand how/why it returned to its parrot shape after being melted down into a tortoise.
Because in chapter 2 Guybrush melted the Pyrite Parrot of Petaluma and dropped it in a hole shaped like a tortoise.

I still don't understand how DeSinge got it after it was lost inside of a manatee.
