DearAlthea: i want to own one
DearAlthea: and i want him to putz around my house but not in water
MoxyCrimeFighter: you’d probably have to rub lotion on him
MoxyCrimeFighter: oo but you could get him a pair of spectacles!
DearAlthea: and a tiny tophat
MoxyCrimeFighter: and spats for his flippers
DearAlthea: and we could stage little arguments between him and his wife, a fiery, hot-blooded lobster
MoxyCrimeFighter: with a portuguese accent
DearAlthea: she could say “Shellington, you need thicker skin!” and he could say “Not all of us can have a carapace, Martha!”
MoxyCrimeFighter: she would often chide him for his lack of ambition
MoxyCrimeFighter: and unfavorably compare him to his coworker, a hammerhead shark
MoxyCrimeFighter: “his eyes don’t even point in the same direction, shellington! and look what he’s accomplished! he’s up to six remoras a year, shellington!”
DearAlthea: and he’d say “well why don’t you just run away with him then? you two have so much in common; you both scavenge meat, neither of you have bones, and oh, look, neither of you make a delicious soup.”
MoxyCrimeFighter: and she’d say, in her fiery portuguese accent, “perhaps i will! he’s got all those teeth, maybe he’ll actually make me feel something!”
MoxyCrimeFighter: and he would call her a mollusky trollop
DearAlthea: woof
