Not a bad idea, Bill, although I'm afraid it may be too late for levity when
people are so seriously angry at each other that a regular leaves the list.
I'm sorry to lose Tony, as I'd be sorry to lose other participants in this
unfortunate mess.

Oh, yeah, birdbrain? Uh-huh, I'd like to see ya fit a clarinet mouthpiece in
that big ol' weird beak of yers. Betcha live in a cage, too. Neener,
neener, neener.

Ya know, it's just about impossible to insult rats bad enough to really git
us mad. We'll fight over just about nothin', 'cause we like fightin', but we
heard it all by now. Most hated animals on the planet, that's us. So we got
nothin' to lose.

Them cats, though, they're hyper-sensitive, real fun to tease. I wish you
was here to fly down real quick an' give that snotty Shadow Cat a scream in
the ear an' peck on the noggin an' then fly outta reach, although I gotta
warn ya, don't go land on a curtain rod an' then snooze off, 'cause she's
real good at climbin' curtains. Can ya fly? Or does the human clip yer
wings fer ya? Hahahahaha!
