So this is what happens? I show up for the first time and I get eaten! (- Hey, will you stop nibbling my toes while I give these people my last words?) Well, seems like you wo’nt get the opportunity of sharing the wisdom stuffed in this noddle. For the brief duration of it - it’s been nice knowing you. (- So Monstre, do I taste like raspberry?) ---

I remember doing the time warp, Dreading those moments when the blackness would hit me, and a voice would be calling, “Let’s do the Time Warp Again” T’t’t’t’t’touch me, I want to be dirty, F’f’f’f’f’fullfill me, Creature of the Night Come up to the lab, and see what’s on the slab, I see you tremble, with antissi… …pation. But maybe the rain, isn’t really to blaim, So I’ll remove the cause, but not the symptom. Bippy (from memory so sorry 'bout inaccuracies), wearing Susspenders, stockings and a feather boa. ---
