I can't even tell you how happy I am that people are still making references to the "ninjas are mammals"
It is my standard reference point for anybody flipping out. "Ehh, she's flipping out like a mammal."
They should film that story and show it every Christmas.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Thank you, Kristin. I have always wondered about the origin of "flip out like a mammal".
Reptiles and amphibians don't flip out. Birds do, though. Fish, I dunno. Haven't met many fish. Ninjas totally flip out. It's their specialty. They're like the uber-mammal in their flipping-outness. So I've heard, anyway.
I await stories of non-mammal flipping-outness. Also, sllep. Or sleep, even.

You've never picked up a ball python after having been dicing raw chicken! Sleepy snake started heading for person's neck from their crooked arm, to drape around something warm, froze and then launched itself at invisible spot on the placket where they had apparently gotten a molecule of chicken goo. Latched right on, it did, and started to try to strangle the cloth in a frenzy. Only way to free the shirt was to dump it and the snake into a tub of cool water.
Or horned toads when put in front of a mirror!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Too hard to know who'll be left to maintain the tree.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Godzilla has been known to flip out on occasion.

We could hash it out in Lightbulbs. Er...of course that would be Hell, so this really is a conundrum.

I can't believe those Orville Redenbacher ads aren't supposed to be creepy. SO EFFING CREEPY!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
otherwise I'd have to flip out and kill a mammal.I've got a roasting pan. Kill something tasty.
