Oh now, come on. Every sea serpent I've ever met was neurotic or an inflatable. No way could one be self-confident enough to try *this*.

Rather warm weather to be honest. Please have a cozy pail for your low-melting-point friends.

Attention please I have a cold and while it is not a major disastrous one, as my nose is not stuffed up, I disapprove of the whole business and also my hip isn't quite working right. Please send medikit nanogoo with surely no strange exotic side effects given it's from a reputable company's new premium line of body-care products.

Now 2018's making it extra-personal for know-it-all nerds of a particular vintage. The Straight Dope by Cecil Adams is ended.

Confess I'm thinking to take on a second instance, in case something catastrophic does come about on mastodon.social. I know of no particular menace, but I'm feeling nervous.

Thinking of that time a slightly cartoony friend went and pulled my tail out to about four times its natural length and how that introduced me to Marsupilami.

Well maybe it's *you* who's procrastinating work by searching YouTube for the official video for Sparks and Jane Wiedlin's "Cool Places" and then watching the various introduction themes for "Turkey Television", and not me who's doing that, have you ever considered that?

PS: youtube.com/watch?v=WNKIba_yZJ for Sparks/Wiedlin, and youtube.com/watch?v=FmW8-IaXRo for all the Turkey TV theme music and youtube.com/watch?v=soQ_detKLZ for most of its animation.

Mr Kitzel: "Ooh, yeah, he earns about fifteen thousand dollars a year!"
Jack Benny: "Say, that ain't hay!"
Mr Kitzel: "To him it is!"

(Some old-time radio stuff for you horse folks, in case any horse folks ever join Mastodon.)

Are we doing everything we could with aquarium inflatables, filled with water and tolerant fish?

... Wait, there could've been a Jurassic Park sequel with dino-human hybrids? Why do we not have dino-human hybrids in the new Jurassic Park movie? Also every movie, including that Charles Dickens bio-pic from last year?

They ask and ask what you want and then get squicked when you tell them.
