    WMM/MWW?

    Would you rather be a weremermaid or a merwerewolf?

    What's the difference? A weremermaid is someone who turns into a mermaid at the full moon, whereas a merwerewolf is a werewolf with the tail of a fish.

    (There's no punchline; sorry.)

    Seven Dwarves: the Next Generation

    1. Belligerent (Grumpy's older brother; their sister is Bellicose)
    2. Magnesium-Deficient
    3. Proactive ("Hey, these axes are sharp!" "Yeah, I thought that needed done.")
    4. Corny (speaks only in cliches)
    5. Horny
    6. Spacy
    7. Pampers

    Thanks to Marty for some of this, I don't remember which. Actually, thanks to her for remarking on my second favourite Pam too. Also, for her snarky comment about my taste. Come to think of it, she's been writing most of my blog lately. Go write your own blog, Marty!
