Woke up next to…her! We must never speak of this again…

Shame!

Scandal!

Dishonor.

Walrus!

Whatcha all fussing about? It never happened. It was a dream.

You just keep telling yourself that, but I will never drink again!

As always, with thanks to Neil Gaiman for Coconut and Lola.

Dis monorail kind of lumpy, actually…

I sun myself in your general direction.

You realize that makes no sense, don’t you?

I shun you for your sense making.

I shun you from my blanket fort of solitude.

Have I mentioned how very strange you McCullough cats are?

Not strange, diabolical! Engaging demonic laser eyes, in 3.2.1…

Random skull full of whiskey.
