Resolved, SDMB should discourage use of “star-bellied sneetch”

[minor7flat5]

Funny seeing this now.

I just posted yesterday my very first reference to sneetches since childhood, while riffing off the idea of a “cat convertor”.

What is this creature crawling on my utility meter at 5:00 this morning?

Now I’m imagining some Dr. Seuss contraption, like the machine that put the stars on the bellies of the sneeches. There’s a long line of cats going in and dogs coming out. Of course, just like with the sneeches, there was a machine to remove the stars. A long line of dogs going in and cats coming out!

Now I see the OP. I didn’t realize I was walking so close to the line!
