I am an invertebrate punsters—spinelessly unable to resist a pun. (So slug me!)

Barnacle Bruce leaned over a tavern table whose stains told of centuries of smuggling and dark murders along the coastline. "Take a slug," he growled as he offered me his glass. I wasn't keen to decline until I saw the first crawling movements within the container.

When I heard the name, I thought Rokk of Gibraltar was the Golden Age Adventures of Cosmic Boy

This conversation is making me crabby.

In Popeye’s version of Ali Baba and the 40 thieves Bluto asks Popeye “Are you trying to make a fool of me?” Popeye replies “Nature beat me to it!”

Jackson Beck, who did Bluto's voice for many years, was also the off-screen announcer of the 80s "G.I. Joe" cartoon. IIRC, he also sang the "G.I. Joe" theme song, although I could be wrong...

This song is sung by Jimmy Keegan, who was one of the main child actors featured on G. I. Joe in the "Knowing is half the battle" segments.

I'll put that on my to-do list. Building a time machine. I should get around to it, in the next millennium or so.

Leonard Nimoy sang about Bilbo Baggins

Bilbo did a lot of things to be worth singing about.

I prefer Wombles to Hobbits. Your 'Obitt's only good fer yer ring quests an' such, while yer Womble makes use of everyday things that folks leave behind. Making' yer Womble far more useful to the community at large, see? Wombles probably have a drawer full of rings to bind other rings.

Wombles. The fancier cousin of Wombats.

I heard a sketch not long ago regarding the Wombles. It contained a boy and his dad looking for their lost pet. They lived in Wimbledon, where The Wombles are from. The boy was hopeful that perhaps the Wombles could help them find the lost pet.

But he'd also been learning things about biology at school. Particularly, about the eye placements of predators. Creatures that prey on others having forward facing eyes...just like the Wombles. As the boy was asking more about our friendly, loving Wombles, the dark truth about missing pets, and missing persons near Wimbledon Common had lodged in the hearts and minds of a generation of British folks.

Next time you watch Sesame street, you look where the eyes are... then think about just how many of the background humans & kids make return visits or have long term stays. Brrrrr...

I always found Elmo annoying.

But... Elmo Loves You!

Sure Elmo loves you...in a white wine sauce. Note the Sesame Street bird and the worm...forward facing eyes...

It's well known that googly eyed creatures prey primarily on cookies, however...

COOKIES!!!! Does Cookie Monster actually eat any of his cookies? Or do they just kind of fly around?

He doesn't really want to eat the cookies. Crumbling them releases a incapacitating gas, allowing him to carry off his victims to devour. People mistakenly think that The Cookie Monster is a monster for cookies. He's actually a Monster that uses cookies.

When you say uses, you mean uses like weed, right?

and devouring his victims means eating them. Like, eating them out. Like, tossing a salad.

"uses" as in employs as a cunning distraction to subdue victims.
"devour" as in carries off to underground lair, where they are consumed.

You must think horror films are full of euphemisms.

It's the way my mind is built

Freddie thrashed Jason!

She was slammed into the ground by Dracula!

The werewolf ripped his insides open!

I spent a lot of time watching Castle Dracula. I was on a stake out.

What does a vampire use for a sore throat?

Coffin drops
