Buy your tickets now on our events page at missiontozigs.space slash events.

If you're not in transportation range of Lafayette, Louisiana, we understand.

Enjoy the show.

The period of civil war has ended.

The rebels have defeated the evil galactic monarchy and established the harmonious Federated Alliance.

Now, Ambassador Pleck Deck Setter and his intrepid crew travel the farthest reaches of the galaxy to explore astounding new worlds, discover their heroic destinies, and meet weird bug creatures and stuff.

This

is Mission

222.

Oh man, guys, we finally did it.

Ambassador Dixon, if I may say kudos to a successful mission.

Yeah, you know what?

We really Great great job.

They loved you.

I think they really did, you know?

I feel like I was on today.

That is the first time I have been party to a ticker tape parade.

Oh, yeah, right?

That was super fun.

There was all the confetti.

And they laughed at your joke.

Yeah, the one about the Tellurian and the Florin.

It was wild.

I'm still working on what the punchline is going to be.

Most importantly, Ambassador Dexeter, we secured mining rights from the Federated Alliance.

Man, yeah, that's true.

I really just feel like...

I feel like I know what Turkmannekid must feel like all the time, you know?

Just like going out, going to a planet, telling people like, hey, we're here for you.

They're like, yeah.

And then we just get on the ship and like, so long, everybody.

And they're like, yeah.

I mean, that's all conjecture, right?

What do you mean?

I mean, we don't actually know how successful Turkmannekid is.

Well, he's the most successful ambassador in the Federated Alliance.

I imagine his life is like that every day.

Wow.

I mean, have you seen Tiny Toots?

Tiny Toots is one of the most formidable ships in the galaxy.

What?

The second most formidable ship.

Oh, sorry.

I.

I'm the only person who can say Tiny Toots Snape.

You realize that, right?

I don't want to bring back bad memories.

Okay, you're right, you're right.

Yeah,

I'm so sorry.

Listen, Barzie, I didn't mean to stir up any bad memories.

I was just trying to compare myself to like an ambassador who really knows what he's doing, which is rare for me.

Ambassador Texas, I have an incoming transmission from Junior Missions Operations Manager Nermit Bundlemoy.

Hey, Nerm.

Hey, hey.

Mining rights.

Man, it just feels good, right?

Yeah, feels great.

Yeah, well, Pleck, empty your pockets, show them the paperwork.

Yep.

Yeah.

Okay, here.

We got this treaty that we signed.

Amazing.

Yeah, hold it up.

Yep, yep.

See?

Wow.

Yep.

And check this out.

The king of the planet.

He gave me this little guy as a gift.

Oh.

Excuse me.

It's like a little pet for the ship.

Also, I have a female.

Oh, I am so sorry.

Did I call you a guy earlier?

Yeah, it's okay.

That happens to me a lot.

Okay, well, this.

A wiffle?

A wiffle.

Oh, uh, well, great.

So, yeah, the king gave us a wiff.

What were you talking?

Why are you talking like that?

Ambassador Dexter, wiffles reproduce at an exponential rate.

This ship could be full of wiffles inside of 20 minutes.

No, no, no, no, no.

Ambassador Dexter, this is this is not the way to come off a successful mission.

It was a gift.

It was a gift from the king.

No, you don't want me.

Oh, no, that's okay.

No, it's not.

Hey, listen.

I don't want to be in any trouble.

Listen, Wiffle.

What is your name?

Poof.

Your name is Poof?

My name is Poof.

That is very cute, Poof.

Listen, Nermit, can we keep it?

Are you flirting with me?

No, no, no, no.

Nermit, can we just keep her for just a little bit?

I'm going to disconnect, figure this out, okay?

That's all I have to say.

I've got a couple little nippers of booze.

I'm going to just celebrate this victory.

Nippers?

Nippers.

You know, those small bottles of booze.

It looks like you're holding a full bottle.

Well, he's 19 inches.

Yeah, I mean, an it's a tellurium nipper.

It's for me, this will last weeks.

Oh, man.

Figure this out.

Poof, nice to meet you.

Bye.

Bye.

Hey, can I say something right now, right here?

Yeah.

Let me just say this one thing, okay?

One thing that tiny toots did to me.

Again, I name no one who can say that name, okay?

You cannot.

do not say that name.

After we were, let's just say, quote-unquote, together,

I was full of whipples.

Okay?

They took over every part of my body because those little people, they mate.

They mate like crazy.

So if I see two, and if I see that two turn to four, I'm gonna eject you out of the chip.

Please stop putting so much pressure on me.

There's no pressure on you to really reproduce.

I'm just taking a little time for myself right now.

Sure, okay.

It just.

My mom said it's time for me to leave the nest.

Oh.

Oh, so you're like, you're getting pressure from your parents to like...

It's hard at home.

Oh, I'm sorry.

That's okay.

Poof me.

Might ask, how old are you?

400.

That's middle age for a wiffle.

Yeah.

You're 400 years old?

Yeah.

Wow.

This is part of the problem.

Wiffles reproduce very fast, but live very long.

Can you imagine being single for 400 years?

I bet Pleck could, yeah.

Yeah, I know.

I could pretty much.

I'm well on my way.

Oh.

It feels like 400 years, honestly.

Tell me about it.

Yeah, I mean,

yeah, see, Poof gets me, guys.

They might have to go to one more birthday party for their little wiffles.

Right, yeah, right.

Also, Poof might not require you're 400 years old, but still live with your parents.

Yeah.

Oh, see if it's true.

Sure.

Sure.

That's a problem galaxy-wide.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I mean, Pleck was still living with his parents before he took this job.

Oh, my gosh, Pleck.

Yeah, I know.

I know.

They told me I needed to get out.

Yeah.

So I did.

Me too.

See, now we have a lot in common, I think.

You and me, Pleck.

I've never had a connection like this with anybody before.

Wow.

Oh, that's great.

Well, you know, I am glad.

Do you want to get married?

I don't know if it's special.

Nah, I don't.

No, I don't know if that's probably soulmates.

Oh.

I don't know.

I feel like feel weird leading her on.

You could carry it through if you want.

That's not what I meant.

I just can't imagine myself being able to be with a ball of fur.

Two organic beings.

What's the difference?

Are you serious?

I mean, a little bit.

I'm just saying, like, I don't feel it feels like a weird thing to act like I want to do.

It's nothing personal, Poof.

Like, you don't have any eyes or.

Oh, I'm getting the talk.

No.

Oh, boy.

Oh, wow.

Ambassador Jackson.

Have a good thing going, and you immediately ruined it.

I just don't know if I could ever have a relationship with, like,

I mean, Poof is literally a ball of fur, like a featureless ball of fur.

I don't think that I can.

Oh,

you know, you can use some work.

Oh.

Poof, it's nothing personal.

I just feel like I'm

personal.

I bet when you were on Rangus 6 and had a dating profile, you were the type of Tellurian that specified that you were only looking for a certain type of species.

Yeah, I mean, I guess I was.

Pretty speciist in here.

I mean, no, I feel like I've, I feel like I've grown a little bit since I left planet because I, before I left Rangus 6, I'd only ever met other Tellurians and like you know horses and stuff but now oh right the horses that you shoot if they get hurt I personally did not shoot them it's just that on Rangus 6

I guess in the grander sense I was complicit wow I guess I dodged a literal bullet

I would never shoot a horse I just don't know how I would treat a horse with a broken leg.

Speaking of that,

does anyone here treat have a small rash?

i have this bald patch here and then

it's real scaly under there can you see that

yeah there's a smell there's

a smell maybe lift the scales just get really get in there and take a look at it

30 times magnification this is a very unsettling case

projecting now oh you didn't need to do that you didn't need to do that oh that's what's going on in there wow honestly now I'm kind of into it.

Okay.

It makes me want macaroni.

What?

What is that?

Does anybody hear that?

Yeah, there's something worming its way out of your pocket.

Oh, fleck.

Oh, I should have told you.

They gave me two.

I was gonna keep one because I just liked having it around.

Maybe it's a different color, I assume.

I don't know if that's a.

Is it blue?

Yeah, it's blue.

Hey, it's a male wiffle.

Yeah, that's me.

Hey, what's up?

Uh,

my name's Fluff.

Hey, Fluff, this is Poof.

Do you guys know each other?

Uh,

hi.

Uh, hey, hey, hey, hey,

what's up?

What's up?

Hey, what's up?

Hey, hey, hi,

I'm fine.

I have gas.

What?

I'm sorry.

Already?

I'm sorry, I just

have

it.

I should eject them, but this is very interesting.

Uh, you're uh I like your fur.

Thanks.

Some of them are plugs.

Oh, really?

Really?

I have a bald patch.

Okay.

Well, yeah, I it's.

I tried the spray for a while and.

Oh, oh, yeah, the hair growing spray.

Oh my gosh, I have four of those.

Really?

Females never usually have those.

That's repellent.

Yeah, no, I do.

Hey, C53, can I talk to you for a second?

Should we be worried about these two wiffles?

Absolutely.

Let's discuss what might be the most

humane way to eject them into space.

Oh, no.

We don't need to eject them into space.

They're just having to.

Absolutely.

If they start procreating, the ship will be full in 15 minutes.

15 minutes?

Allow me to show you an exponential chart of wiffle growth.

No, I mean,

Hey, hey, are we over here whispering about how plucky these wiffles are?

What do you mean?

No, but you raising good.

Plecky.

They're just so awkward and they keep saying things that just turn each other off.

Oh, yes, they're continually blowing all the goodwill that you just acquired.

Hey, are we all whispering in this corner?

Yes, we are.

Are you seeing what I'm seeing?

I mean, I was gonna let them be ejected, but honestly, I don't see anything happening right now.

I know.

I mean, when he did that total pluck move.

Okay.

And then she countered with an even plackier.

I guess let's just see how it plays out.

Yeah, we shouldn't leave them alone.

Are you with Teleurian?

Because I it's out of the honesty,

but it didn't really seem to work out.

I mean, that's fine.

I've got a very strong male, you know, like a lot of male friends.

Oh, yeah.

Um, I have no friends, but I have um two parents.

I actually don't have any friends.

I was just kind of

thought that if I countered with male friends, you might think that I was an

alpha wiffle of some sort.

Yeah.

Hey, C53, dark, can I talk to you guys for a second?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Guys, listen.

You know what?

Honestly, I'm a little bit offended by your conviction that these two aren't going to make it together.

Professor Dixon, I will bet you

my salary.

I'll bet you the next two weeks of my salary.

Well, that's what I'm saying.

I'm going to try to make it work with these two because I refuse to believe that they're as plecky as you said they are.

Oh, wow.

A pleck trying to help two plecks get it together?

Be anything pluckier.

I'm rooting for him, okay?

I'm rooting for him, and I'm rooting for myself,

you know, by proxy

around them.

Hey, can I get it on this wager?

I'm gonna just wager all my

Please don't bet your gas.

Infinity pleck.

So, Poof, are you familiar with the Nebula Chronicles?

Are you kidding?

Yeah.

Are you kidding me right now?

I've been just literally every single signing.

What's your favorite character?

Paunch.

Well, everybody knows that Praunch is actually one of the lamps.

No, it's one of the lamest characters.

Oh.

King Zelwan is is actually the best character anybody with half a brain no

are you kidding me no you're actually not a real fan of everyone no if you think potch is a real fan you're actually not

he's literally the worst character he's like the worst character yeah he's all ego the worst

nothing to him are you kidding me right now wait honestly you just seem like every other blue you know what i mean like every single blue is like oh i love the king i want to be like the king is like what you know what's wrong with me i'm just trying to find a hot pink that will take care of

Okay, wait, wait, wait.

Wait, hold on a second.

Hold on a second.

Hold on.

Wait, Fluff.

What?

Come on.

What?

I just want a hot, shapely, like a like just a super round pink.

Like, she's just like so round and super fast.

You know what?

A lot of ovals are fine.

Ovals are fine.

You're so oval.

You're so oval.

Don't oval shape.

No, but what I want is like...

Fluff, you are also for a blue.

What?

You are very shapely at all.

But no, see what I want, you're cool and everything, but

I want a pink that's like...

I want a pink that's like perfectly round, you know?

She's like just totally like

she like cares for me and like takes care of me.

Honestly, like pinks don't even look like that in real life, you know?

No, but the pinks in the Nebula Chronicles are entirely.

The pinks, it's

based on true lore.

It's based on true lore.

If you were even a real fan, you would understand that this is all fancy real chronicles.

How dare you?

How dare you?

You're a fake fan.

You're a pink fan.

That's not real.

Son of a.

Oh, you're going to call me son of a gorb?

Yeah.

How typical for a pink.

A pink anista always coming at me.

You know what?

I don't need your blue splaining.

Okay.

I want it just like a firm, round little pink, but also small somehow.

You know what?

You don't look bristly at all like the other blues.

I'm incredibly bristly.

No, you're not.

You're downy like a little.

253.

I talked to you privately really quickly.

Can I come?

No.

Okay, now I think it's building to a hate-juck situation.

You're right.

We've got to defuse that somehow.

I do not want to lose my salary to Pleck.

I don't even have 12 croons.

I just assumed that I would win them.

I can help out, guys.

I'm in the circle, too.

I can make it really cold.

Really cold?

And if the temperature is cold, people do not want to juck, regardless of how they feel about it.

Sometimes people joke when it's very cold.

Just a little bit of a turn.

It'll bring them closer together.

No, Barge, we gotta think like Pleck.

Hey, Pleck, it doesn't look like it's going so hot over there.

Why don't you

help them out?

Yeah, thank you.

I think I will.

Yeah, poof.

Man, you just kidding me.

I'm riled up.

I wouldn't juck you with her flip-flip.

Oh.

Yeah, you wouldn't juck me?

I bet we would juck.

Hey, guys, guys, listen.

Gotta stop fighting.

We gotta stop fighting each other because

you're never gonna realize how perfect you are for each other if you keep all this back and forth.

What the chuck?

What the chuck are you talking about?

Yeah,

no.

No, we're not, we're just mad at each other.

Yeah.

Okay.

We're not perfect for each other.

No.

I mean, just because we like all the same stuff and like

I want a pink that's like,

I get that.

So I live with my parents.

You both live with your parents.

Yeah, we both live with our parents.

So it's not a big deal.

So what?

It's not a big deal.

It's a very,

how old are you?

I'm 420 years old.

Oh, my.

420.

How old are you?

400.

The perfect pink is like 180, because it's just like

180-year-old pink is barely even a fully formed wiffle.

CFTR, can I talk to you?

Darren, can I talk to you for a second?

Fine.

Honestly, I'm hearing you.

I'm just going to intrude all the time.

Sure, no, yeah, that's totally

accepted though.

Hey, guys, I think it's going pretty well over there with those two.

I think you guys should get ready to lose those croons.

Ambassador Dixon, are you still pursuing this?

Yeah,

I mean, imagine, if you will, having no room aboard the Bargerian jade for anything but wiffles.

And when I say room, I mean the interior of your lungs.

You'd be inhaling wiffles.

Well, you know what?

It's a matter of principle at this point, okay?

Because you guys said that two plex couldn't make it work together, and I'm gonna be the pleck that comes in and makes it work, okay?

Because a pleck can fall in love, okay?

A pleck can be happy.

So I'm gonna prove you guys wrong, and I'm gonna be right.

I think you will derive small satisfaction from being correct when you're choking on a wiffle that has entered your windpipe.

So what do you even mean we're talking about blue privilege?

Do you know what I mean?

Like, what are you even talking about?

I mean, like, as a blue, you have things that pinks don't have to be.

See, I don't think that's true.

I think if purples, if purples and pinks wanted it, they could get it.

You know what I mean?

I don't think that.

that's but see that's the thing like if you were sitting at the front of a of a him horror right if you were sitting in the front of a he's always and you're trying to throw um a piece of paper at the front wall right um if you're sitting in the front row it'd be easier and if you're sitting in the back row you just don't realize you're sitting in the front row not the back row you know I've never thought about it that way you know do you know what I mean You know what?

I really appreciate you having this honest discourse with me where you're being open and receptive.

Hey guys, I just want to butt in here real quick and say it's going great.

Would you just shut up?

Just go away.

Just go the face.

Okay, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I don't even know where we

go.

Never mind.

No, I thought we had a moment, but

Rash, because I have rash.

You know, see, I'm sorry.

I already have.

I'm already seeing another wiffle.

Oh.

She lives on.

She lives on Cornak.

Oh, yeah, I'm sure you have a picture.

No, but I have a picture.

No, she lives on her.

Everybody's got a wiffle on Cornak.

No, she lives on Cornak, but she's like super round and

right.

I'm sure you have a sleep.

200 years old.

You wouldn't know her.

What's her name?

Three, two, one.

It's taking too long.

Yeah, there's no wiffle.

Okay, there's there is no wiffle.

I don't have a pink friend.

I don't have a mate.

There's a lot of pressure to be blue, and it's just...

Can I be honest?

I um

I haven't um

oh this is embarrassing.

Um I haven't reproduced um before

with anybody.

So really?

Yeah.

I totally have.

Really?

So much.

Oh, yeah, I guess most wiffles have.

I just haven't.

Yeah, I know.

I totally filled a sector with all my progeny.

You know?

It's crazy.

A whole sector?

A whole sector?

That seems not possible.

You don't have to lie to me if you don't want to.

I've never reproduced.

I've never reproduced.

That is all right.

Ambassador Nexetter has never reproduced.

I'd rather be able to do that.

Oh,

I could get that.

He's also a virgin.

Yeah.

Yeah, I mean, that's.

Nothing to be ashamed of.

Yeah,

get in there and talk about being a virgin.

Come on.

Poof and I are both, I would say, ashamed of being virgin.

am I supposed to be?

I'm feeling like I'm taking my time and that's fine by me, you know?

Hey, uh,

let me give you a little advice, okay?

Okay, love isn't real.

What?

It's a fake thing.

Oh, boy.

Created by, I don't know, an old wizard.

If I've learned anything from my time with Tiny Toots, it's just go for it, put your thing into another person's things, have no regrets.

At the end of the day, we're all gonna die, right?

Whoa, Parchy, that is a...

That's an intense philosophy.

Well, uh,

I mean, I will say that you, the reference that you made to the Nebula Chronicles earlier was

very accurate.

Um,

and I'll admit that it was, um, pretty impressive that you immediately knew about

the king, and also that you.

Can I just talk to you for a second?

Yeah,

I would like to let you know that this is going pretty well.

I think Bargie's little pep talk did some good, and I think I'm gonna win this bet.

Ambassador Tech Setter, are you a dingus?

If you win the bet, the ship is full of wiffles.

Honestly, I just regret saying what I just said.

I was just saying because it's natural to me, but I'm realizing the ability to get it.

Bargie, we get it.

Pleck provoked you by bringing up tiny toots so many times.

Yeah.

Okay, guys, I admit it.

I went to the mat on this one just on principle.

I take it back.

Bets off.

Let's call these guys off, and then we can get back to where you're going to be.

You can't call it off.

Oh, no.

I was lying.

Your shape is perfect.

I like this wall.

It's great.

Attention, attention.

This is Rebel Leader Sisu Gundu with a vital communication.

Send him off!

Poof, thank you for understanding that we had to just bring you back to this planet.

It wasn't anything personal.

You know, it's not you, it's us.

It's us and our tiny little ship, and we just couldn't hold all of your 30,000 kids.

Oh, I understand, you know.

If it were up to me, you'd be on the ship for the rest of the missions, you know, for

because you have strong feelings for me, despite our spatial differences.

Totally, that's part of it.

Listen, what we had is over, and I need you to accept it right now, okay?

Okay, yeah.

I have progeny now,

but I need you to not stand between our

relationship.

I'm broken up about it, but

I'm setting you free.

You know, if you're really

say it, yeah, I mean, if you really love someone, you set them free, and that's sort of like the situation.

I'm just saying that that could be

you're obsessed with me.

Yeah, totally, totally.

But anyway, thanks for understanding.

I will see you

maybe later.

Embrace me.

I don't think.

I don't know.

Okay.

Yep.

All right.

Goodbye.

Bye, Floof.

Bye.

That's not

bye, poof.

Take care.

Okay.

Well, that wasn't so bad, right, guys?

Huh?

Not too bad.

Everybody's safe.

We got all the wiffles off the ship.

Everybody's happy.

Okay.

Well, I will say, even if you're not going to talk to me, you gotta fork over those croons, buds.

C-53.

Dar.

Okay, you know what?

You can just own me.

That's fine.

But I will say that we figured it out.

Everybody's fine.

I mean, I guess they're probably on the planet reproducing right now, which is, I mean, kind of not our problem at this point.

So, mining rights, right, guys?

Well, you know what?

You know what?

Fine.

Keep the money.

It doesn't matter.

I can sleep better knowing that I was right.

And it just, I needed a win.

You know, I just needed a win today.

Who had 34 seconds?

Me, I did.

I won.

Duh!

You are so good at this, Margie.

Yeah.

What?

We all put a bed in to see how long it would take you before you realized that the silent treatment was going to crush you from the inside and you would give us back all of our money.

And I won.

You won?

Yep.

What'd you win?

Incoming message from Nermidor Balagor.

I get the same.

Hey, what's up, Nermidork Balorkadork?

Hey, Nerm.

We had to do a little detour back to the planet of coal.

Yeah, I heard.

And guess what I'm holding in my hand here?

What's that?

Your hand has to be in frame.

Sorry, I'll stand on my desk.

All right, so that's not anything.

Yeah, exactly.

You know what should be in my hand?

The mining rights agreement, which has now been cancelled.

Why?

Why?

Because you returned 30,002 wiffles to the planet.

Is that a lot?

Apparently, they gave you those wiffles to get rid of them, and now they've ripped up the mining agreement.

So they hated us.

I mean, they hate you now.

They hate the whole alliance.

But they hated us before.

This makes so much sense.

They didn't find his joke funny.

They were faking it.

This checks out.

Oh, gosh, I was.

I've been thinking about that all day.

day.

What's the difference between a Tellurio and a Florida?

Isn't it an absurdly funny statement?

No, we thought just all the answers just a long list of attributes.

Yeah, but some of those attributes are funny.

Well, onwards and upwards, I guess.

Yeah, okay, so we have some other

paperwork.

We actually have a

mission?

No, we have,

as you may know, a lot of the ambassador teams get lots of mail.

I walk by the mailroom every day, and there's a lot of mail, and the missions operations managers spend a lot of time reading fan mail to the um to the teams.

Oh, we haven't received anything.

No, that's what I'm saying.

We got our first fan letter.

That's what I'm saying.

What?

Yeah, this came into our crew at mission2zix.space email address.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

Email.

Email.

Electronic mail.

Yeah, I know what email is.

So we're all familiar.

Yeah, we've been using it for forever.

Yeah, decades at this point.

So this is this is actually, it's a question.

I'm gonna.

So it doesn't count as fan mail.

I think it should.

Fans ask questions.

No, fans make statements.

Yeah, that's true.

That's mostly fans right to be like, I like what you do.

So it could be an inquiry from a critic.

I don't know.

Sure, sure.

Go ahead.

All right, so.

I think we should take it.

Okay,

let's take it.

So here, look, this is to you, C53.

So, dear C53, why do you address Junior Missions Operations Manager Nermit Bundaloy, that's me,

by his complete title and full name but only refer to ambassador deck setter solely by his title and last name question mark you wrote that didn't you no no no no this is from uh benjamin sinn

junior missions operations manager nermit bundaloy is benjamin sinn an alias of yours no no no this is like a real it's a real letter they really want to know a pretty boring question but do you write books as is benjamin sin because Because I want to read

things by Benjamin Sinn.

It's a pretty sexy gnome de plume.

He signed it all, hail the Federated Alliance, which is good, because if you don't put that in the head, I don't think they get it.

I don't know what it is.

I think they burn your letters.

They burn it right up.

No, that's a question with a very simple answer.

Junior Russian Operations Manager Nermit Bundy.

No.

How can you remember Nermit's fake name, but you don't know his real name?

That is a really good question.

Steve M3, you were explaining?

Yes, I'm happy to refer to Ambassador Deck Center by a shortened form of address because we are on the same level in terms of the Federated Alliance hierarchy.

However, Junior Missions Operations Manager Nermit Bunloy, you reside one rank above me.

Therefore, it is only proper that I refer to you both with complete title and name address.

I like that.

Okay, so just sorry, say that all again.

I'm going to write it down for Benjamin Sin.

It's probably fine.

I am transcribing what I said.

Okay.

We could maybe call you just Junior.

No.

Or I am allowed to shorten to the preferred nomenclature of J-Mom.

No,

no.

I bet we're gonna have to beef up the servers now.

What do you mean?

in?

Yeah.

I think that is perhaps an optimistic view of how much email we receive.

Now that we got one.

I mean, yeah, one first and then more.

Who'd you send an email to?

Oh, wait, it came in.

There it is.

It came in.

Alright, let me

read this.

Nope, not gonna read Bargie.

That is disgusting.

Bargie.

She just used asterisks to make a butt.

Wait.

Multiple asterisks?

She's like drawing with asterisks to make a button.

I can imagine using that one asterisk to make a butt.

Well, you can't make an entire Tellurian butt with one asterisk.

Just, he means the whole.

Well, sure, the whole, but the whole is not the butt.

That's...

Fair point.

The whole butt contains the butthole.

But the butthole is not the whole butt.
