> Re: Sloths are cuter...
Racer, you bring up an excellent point. (ambassadors always agree with everything people say and tell them it is excellent)
> And I'm not much on chocolate.
>...more food for thought. Ours is a land of diverse culture, opinion and preference. Perhaps we need a way to accommodate this variety. ...a way to steward the cherished values of all Lumtonians...a way to embrace cute stuff like sloths, penguins and butterflies. (notice how ambassadors always manage to weasel out of any sort of commitment or decision-making and throw it off on other people)
> Hm, maybe I can get a green card to Lumpkinville? Lumptonia?
>Dear Racer, you need no green card. The arms of all Lumptonia are open to you. You may travel as you wish and reside on the sofa of your choice.
> Well, at least I know how to wrap the crysalis! (My SO gets so hot at night that he sleeps with no covers. The quilts I make for the bed have no batting on his side. He comes in to the bedroom, finds me swaddled up with the quilt, and can't believe I'm not like a furnace. I think there's something about depression and the urge to bake or poach oneself.)
>Perhaps self-poaching is normal part of the pupating process; one assisting your metamorphasis. I've noticed most of the time, the covers also feel good. I find them easy to adjust for my comfort. It is one of rare luxuries of Lumpism.
> Well, for the official bird, how about penguins? They're slow, can't be bothered to fly, never seem to be in a hurry (unless you count fairy penguins, in Oz, where Linus Torvalds was attacked by one), and are always appropriately dressed?
>The penguin is an excellent choice particularly given the freedom and expressiveness of our society which is in so many ways similar to that of the Open Source community.
> Bats, by the way, are not birds.
Yes!! But do bats know that? I think not, nor would I want to tell them lest they fall to their deaths on the cave floor.
> And they don't really turn into Hungarian men in long capes with red linings, either. I looked it up.
Yes again!! However, I have on occasion turned into a bat! I do not wear a cape however, but rather a quilt. I have a real nice one for formal occasions with matching silk underwear and socks.
Racer, have you given more thought to accepting the Messiah position? The Ambassador thinks you would be excellent for the role (notice how everything's excellent)...as a pupating little butterfly your a beautiful symbol of our emerging nation.
From the couch of The Ambassador's Office,
Your humble servant, B
