Does _your_ cape enable user to fly? If I wore your cape would I be able to fly? If you had a house at the Cape, would it have flies? ---

Front to back. He’s a dog. My niece says so. Then again, she also says that she has a monkey in the fridge, and that girls don’t kiss girls. I want to be a fly on the wall when she learns her mom’s bi-sexual. ---

Sometimes, after a big meal, they droop too far down from my weight, and penetrate your skull. That’s why songs like “I Shot the Sheriff[sub]\*[/sub]” get stuck in your head. No. You’d only be able to see a holograph of Joe Piscopo, and he would do all of his impressions for you for all eternity. Nope. Not for long, anyway. Because my sidekick, **Beru “Da Squid” KittyCat** , eats them. ---

I once found a _really old_ Disney book at my grandma’s house (no date available here, I just know it was _really old_) that featured Mickey Mouse and Dippy the Goof. So if anyone asks you what Goofy is, he’s a Goof. And his given name, apparently, is Dippy. ---

**Helena** , before he was known as Dippy the Goof, IIRC, he was known as Dippy Dawg. So he’s a dog. Albeit a goofy one. **Happy Feet** , for some reason, I took real solace in that. Thank you. ---

Why is the ocean near the shore? ---

**Zebra** , thanks for the question. The answer is this: The very definition of _shore_ is this: The land along the edge of an ocean, sea, lake, or river; a coast (from [www.dictionary.com](http://www.dictionary.com)). That clearly indicates that it HAS to be near an ocean or some other body of water. ---

Why does it always rain on me? Why do fools fall in love? Who put the bop in the bop-shoo-bop-shoo-bop? Where were you when I needed you? Where were you when I wanted you? Does anybody really know what time it is? How does it feel to treat me like you do? Do you love me now that I can dance? Where, oh where, can my baby be? When will I see you again? What is love? Who can it be now? Inquiring minds want to know! Nocturne (who has ingested WAY too much music lately) ---

Superdude, remember that time we got really drunk and you punched me in the ass? And then you chased me down the block with some dogshit on a stick? I’m still pissed about that. You suck. Rose ---
