The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I've only had the one cup today.

That's all I've had too.

(Ignores that the one cup was bigger than my head.)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

This Meerkat Manor show is way too stressful.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

This Meerkat Manor show is way too stressful.

Are you watching Season 1? It's like Henry the IV with weasels.

I have no idea. I keep catching episodes here and there, and it's always stuff like "The meerkats are having a peaceful day until THEY MIGHT ALL GET EATEN BY AN OWL. Now, this commercial."

It's a little known fact that Shakespeare originally wrote his plays for weasels. The naturally fast cadence and movements of the weasel is one of the reasons why his plays, which run so long today, easily made a two hour afternoon matinee back in the day.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

THEY MIGHT ALL GET EATEN BY AN OWL.

A Shakespearian owl. Then the dying meerkat gives a soliloquy.

Then the dying meerkat gives a soliloquy.

A squeaky soliloquy.

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

Are you watching Season 1? It's like Henry the IV with weasels.

Isn't that redundant?

Seriously, this episode just ended with "and could place mother and daughter on a VICIOUS COLLISION COURSE." Roll credits.

Since you are a Meerkat noob, I can helpfully point out that Flower and her daughters are always on a vicious collision course, that usually ends with one of the daughters (literally) getting her ass chewed out. Seriously, they have bald spots near their tails.

Sometimes though they get exiled and with no fellow meerkats to groom them, they become covered with ticks and die a sad, cold, anxious death. Poor Tosca.
