You know the blue Eagle character in the Muppets? My SO is currently making faces at me, trying to look angry, and except for the blue colouring, that's exactly what he looks like... Bald, bushy eyebrows, aquiline nose, frowny mouth in that kind of beak-like shape... There is no such thing as a straight face when he looks that hysterically similar...

Just as long as he doesn't start sounding like that paragon of patriotism...

"Today, I wish to speak to you about a very serious subject indeed: Nudity! Did you realise that underneath their clothes, the entire population of the United States of America is walking around... naked. Does that not appall you? But it's not just people, though that's bad enough! Even cute little doggies and pussycats! Underneath their fur...nothing! And not just quadrapeds, either! Birds too!! Yes, underneath our feathers we birds are walking around...completely...

...

Er, could somebody...hand me a robe?"

*grin*  We grow up on this stuff, and people wonder why we're a little odd.

They don't wonder why we're a little odd... They wonder why we're not more so...

Since very few of my They get to see the entirety of my oddness, I can't say I blame them for thinking I'm astonishingly 'normal'.

But I do get grumpy at the insistent comments about me wearing black when I play bridge. The compliments when I wear something that isn't black. The comments when I wear a skirt I can deal with, but my taste in colours? The last time, it was a fortyish friend who says he doesn't understand why I think I shouldn't wear light colours due to the consistency with which I stain them, because I look so much better in the jumper I happened to be wearing. He went away much chastened when I pointed out the food stains on the cuff... Mind you, his teenage daughter is rapidly turning into a baby goth, and I think he thinks I could be a role model...
