You got to watch people? We were all blinded at birth. WORST OBSTETRICIAN EVER!

You were born? why we had to to spend life in the womb, talk about overcrowding!
Order of Kilopi
A nice cozy womb? I would have killed for that! My mother just left her eggs in cuckoo's nests.
...Excuse me, I have to go preen my feathers now.

Eggs of an endangered species? Then you were loved and spoiled by graduate interns whilst some of us were surgically transplanted into the wombs of orcas. Thanks, Mom!
Order of Kilopi
We most certainly were not! Most of us fell out of the nest and crashed to Earth, shattering our fragile bones. The rest were eaten by wild ferrets. (You knew we had to bring ferrets into the conversation at some point!)

Ferrets have to eat like everybody else. A single ferret can consume a watermelon 20 times its own size and in the process produce several ounces of dark matter.

We had no ferrets. Had to make our own dark matter with matter compressors... realllly long handled matter compressors... with light extractors. We used the extracted light to make beer.

You had beer. I haven't had a beer in decades. I hang outside of bars' bathrooms so I can get a little sniff of the beer induced waste products.
Honored Member
You had bathrooms? With a real bath? We just had to lick each other clean.
Established Member
There was no point in getting clean, because we lived in water. Our skin was so wrinkly they would hire us for extras in raisin commercials.
Honored Member
We had some water, but it was all second hand, with most of the protons missing a quark or two.
Established Member
You're lucky, our water was all fuzzy because the strings were starting to unravel.
Established Member
Well at least your strings existed in a ten dimensions, not six like in our drab universe!
Established Member
What are these dimensions you keep talking about? Our universe didn't even have a point.
Established Member
A pointless universe? That would be great! Out here everything need to have a reason.
Forum Welcomer
Reason? That would be awesome! We lived in a box with a cat - never did figure out the reason...
Established Member
Cats are a reason unto themselves. You should try living in a box with a giant stinky slobbering dog.
Established Member
Ha! people raised by skunks in a swamp scoff at cats and dogs.

That's true, the Great Whites tended to thin their numbers out.
Order of Kilopi
W couldn't afford Great Whites, we had to take Mediocre Greys and whitewash them.

You are something of a pronoun mystery, true; but I could introduce you to a man that has banished all pronouns from his life.

I could introduce you to a horse with no name.
