[insert something funny here]

I think the pirates ran away with the rum.

Which would leave them in no fit state to win a fight against marshmallow-eating cavemen, never mind the Ninjas.

Of course, once the Ninjas had won... ... River could kill them with her brain.

Tada! Back on topic. Sort of.

Betsy HP:

Did you just differentiate with regard to snark?

Doesn't everybody? Seriously, it also depends on the type of marmot snarking the smarm. Woodchuck, groundhog, or prairie dog? The differences are subtle, but detectable.

All this time, I thought Hunter was a bitch. Turns out she was just hungry.

And what about jumping the shark?

And what about jumping the shark?

Yeah, but if a woodchuck could jump shark, how much snark could the woodchuck smarm, before the shark could chum?

Maybe you should ask yourself if the marmot can swim.

From Wiki: "The Groundhog (Marmota monax), also called Woodchuck or Whistle Pig, is a rodent of the family Sciuridae, belonging to the group of large ground squirrels known as marmots."

Whistle pig. Best name ever.

Marmots are the coolest ever.

If I only had a brain...

Nope. Naked mole rats.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Wait, a marmot is a woodchuck/groundhog? Why does the one in THE BIG LEBOWSKI look like a large, ill-tempered ferret then? Was it just The Dude being too stoned to recognize the animal correctly when he said "Hey man, nice marmot..."?

edited because I can't believe I forgot to capatalize "The Dude".
