well there is one difference between the original Homer and the clones:
the name tag on the original Homer had one of those holographic squares to show authenticity, and since only one was made thst was uncloneable and the tag was made unremoveable, the real Homer will have the authenticity mark on the tag.
hope that helps!

So you only want O-Homer, not Homer 1, Homer 2 or half-Homer ?

yep!
the clones are most likely evil anyway, as most cloning turns the clones evil of hatred for not being the original. in fact, Homer could be in danger if his evil clones are loose, like Picard was in Star Trek Nemesis, so if you catch a Homer and find it ain't the original, KILL IT!

Even the half-Homer.... he doesn't have the strength to be evil...

There once was a Parrot named Homer
who wondered "How much is an omer?"
To the Mid-east he went
like a bird that was sent
for his curiosity compelled him to go there.
Just in case you were wondering an omer is 1/10th an ephah, or somewhere between 2 and 3 1/2 quarts. Probably about the right size for a quick parrot drink to refresh himself after a long flight from outerspace.

are you sure it was the original Homer and not an evil clone?

Not at all... It's a bit wild in that area and I wasn't keen to get close to a green parrot drinking questionable substances in a seedy Damascus bar. I did see a flash of silver though. Where is his tag?
The flash came from, well, where other flashes come from.

Half-Homer (he's pretty unmistakely because the "half" is lengthwise) was last seen attempting a Pacific ocean crossing... no news expected really.
The other Homers were spotted simultaneously in Birmingham, Brussels and Baden (that was before we knew about O-Homer's special ID). The entire patrol is demanding new binoculars to avoid eye-strain.... Can you afford that ?
If not you will have to add a couple of deeply moving and motivating postings here to keep up morale....
I'm going to follow up a promising lead in Geneva, I'll let you know how it goes.
Incidently, how's Julie ?

Ignore sighting from Brussels, it referred to a "Homard" not Homer.

Deni - have a look at my personal space for the parrot picture now being used. you'll see binoculars looking, which is suggesting you get out your binoculars out of the survival kits you were all issued at the start of the parrot search. don't tell me you left them in the box by the door?

btw the picture of the parrot through binoculars that you and i both have on our personal spaces were actually taken by a stunt double on the parrot search who HAD his survival pack, so you should have a pai of binoculars just like them!

According to the patrol members, you need extra-powerful binoculars to pick out the holographic square on the ID tag....
They spend hours and hours looking for the Homer, you can't blame them for having an occasional grumble !
I think a few cheery postings, some hot cocoa for those in cold climes - Margueritas for those of us in warm places - and a few sausage rolls will get everybody happy again.
IMPORTANT NOTE : For reasons we both know.... please avoid sending egg sandwiches.
P.S. Has Julie flown as well ?

OK, I'll go make my own 
.
If I end up having or , don't blame me if I adopt "cloned vision" (well, it's not as corny as p*ssed as a Homer).
P.S. It was chilly in Geneva, I'm off to Cairo after a couple of s.

No, I'm more of a bod. Anyway, I just had the one and am now in Cairo. It's dark but I'm keeping very alert for Homer-spotting.
