Excellence or serious injury is their little mongoose motto. I shall display the meme to them once they have returned from their theyfriend's house. They're going to make ramen.

...you've always been so thoughtful about bringing me people's detached faces instead of pop-cultural jewelry, and courtly about hauling me off sit-surfaces, and I will prefer our mode of friendship until the end of looped time! (And refrain from biting you.)

I could go on saying the ladies, yes, but I don't want to limit or insult anybody, so I may switch to "the glorious pageantry of the human form" or something. I sometimes feel caught by a glob of amber about the whole thing.
