Dear Various:

  I'm not sharing this with everybody. . . .

:) ;)

  Okay. There is this . . . EXTRAORDINARY game, called "nethack."
Of it, I could speak _reams_---but, for the moment, let us consider
that one is given, and can obtain more, pets. And on can _named_
one's pets (using the call/Christian command "C"). Now, knowing me,
you can imagine some . . . interesting names, over the years.
(Lately, I called a kitten "Epicanthic Hymen"---but was told that this
is, _entirely_ too contrived. . . . ( :) ;) ))

  Well, the nethack community---has surpassed me utterly.
Apparently, it is all the vogue to now call one's pet "Your ass".
This leads to, well. . . .

  --Enjoy! :) :) ;) ;)

"Your ass is on fire!"
"Your ass consumes a tripe ration."
"Your ass emits a disintegration beam!"
"You are worried about Your ass."
"Your ass explodes in a burst of kaleidoscopic light! You feel
melancholy for a moment."

  I'm almost on the floor, laughing so hard! TEARS in my eyes.

  Party down,
