Further Muse-ings

He snapped, "I'm the Lorax who speaks for trees which you seem to be chopping as fast as you please. But I'm also in charge of the Brown Bar-ba-loots who played in the shade in their Bar-ba-loot suits and happily lived, eating Truffula Fruits.

"Now...thanks to your hacking my trees to the ground, there's not enough Truffula Fruit to go 'round. And my poor Bar-ba-loots are all getting the crummies because they have gas, and no food, in their tummies!

"They loved living here. But I can't let them stay. They'll have to find food. And I hope that they may. Good luck, boys," he cried. And he sent them away.

(Theodor S. Geisel and Audrey S. Geisel, 1971)

Hey non-believers, check this out:

I told you he was real! I told you I'd spotted him walking near the water's edge screaming in Latin (which is hardly dead, by the way.) You guys just laughed, but who's laughing now? Once again, I hate to say I told you so, so NANNY NANNY BOO BOO!

Have I told you about the time I was down near Tomahawk greeting boy scouts when I thought I spotted Mel? Just flickering in the campfire light with his arms up beseeching the stars and moaning this and that about prophecies, but looking really magnificent too... turns out it was just the mothman joking around. He almost got me though!

Say, I tried to vote for cheese, but my claw slipped so I've cast a vote for yucky boots. Can I vote again?

I've seen the mothman in action too, leading hundreds of wild horses down a hill and ranting in some ancient tongue, and I can see how you might mistake him/it for Mel Gibson, but really, haven't we settled this before? How could MG really be anything more than a horrible tale humans use to scare and control their weakest? Is it possible that your link is just Moth (or any other prankster prone to high drama) taking the obvious next step in perpetuating the silliness?

You losers just can't deal with me being right. You should know better than anyone how all this denial sounds. Next you'll be saying Elvis is dead. Whatever. I'm going for a dip.

We would vote for cheese if we had not already designed the poll result! Just you wait and see.

I cannot accept organic greens beating wet boots in the survey. I beseech you, devas, to reveal the plan or influence the voting unduly. Organic greens! Stupid!

Is the voting rigged or something? I'm not sure I understand this.
Also might I suggest a sardine and cheese salad as the perfect solution to your incendiary competition?
