Toadfish Monastery

The word gas was introduced by van Helmont and derived form the Greek word chaos.
According to wikipedia 'Belsen was a gas' was a highly controversial song by the Sex Pistols.
The urban dictionary names gas as a synonym for speed (=amphetamines).

The sibling below me will inevitably hand over the spoon some day.

This Sibling needs no stinkin' spoon. I'm practically a chipmunk as it is. Mr. Ops finds my chipperness tedious.

The Sibling Below Me will now compare her/himself to another animal.

A pig? 


TSBM is also a male.

Why yes, I am. A fe male.


TSBM is even now consulting the periodic table of elements to find his/her own suitable descriptors.

O chrom ium! I Am In Th' lead! U'Re 'N As Ho'' 9 92 6 19 8 9 9 83 43 1!

The sibling below resents this rudeness.

It's been days, now. We're all over it.


TSBM is a model of decorum.

I don't have any art deco models and rum is not for deco either.

The sibling below me collects Jugendstil furniture.

You bet I am! It's just that I have not been able to afford any of it, yet.

The Sibling Below Me also has a wishful collection.

Yes I do, but the wife wouldn't let 'em in the house.

The sibling below me doesn't exactly collect stuff, it just piles up.

Yes I am a messy without a missy to clean up.

The sibling below me thinks that mass extinctions are anti-catholic progroms

So all the Oligocene megafauna was catholic?

TSBM is as dubious as me on that one.

I am indeed.

OTOH the sibling below me thinks that the catholic church is a dinosaur.

No, the dinosaurs had short arms and often long legs.
The church has a very long arm but should have short legs, if the saying "Lügen haben kurze Beine" (lie's legs are short) is correct.
Also dinosaurs have Greek derived names in pseudo Latin instead of real latin with some pseudo-greek mixed in like the RCC.

The sibling below me will explain the connection between PSI and parasites

Well,  the Pneumonia Severity Index and "parasites" both have to do with bugs. At least if it's viral pneumonia we're talking about.

The Sibling Below Me was not talking about that at all!

Well, people with severe pneumonia are prone to be as delirious than people that believe in telepathy or telekinesis*

The sibling below me makes money out of fever fantasies.

*Everyone in this room believing in telekinesis please lift my right hand!
