A wonderful hard rain yesterday, wonderful even though I had to go Out into it. Much of the snow has been melted and washed away

Also:

The platypus compels you with his venomous spurs.

What other accoutrements will the platypus turn out to have? Sting-hairs? Wings? Extendable eyes? And if he gets old, will he ever need cybernetic implants?

For now, the venomous spurs suit him well.

But he can always upgrade.

(Maybe you can distract him by claiming he needs a duckbill polish. Get him online on another computer and watch him get lost in Google and bother you less.)

P.S. I wrote the above, then I thought of the term "platypus manscaping." This is my mind. It's been pulling shit like this for 37 years.

Someone apparently thought "men making sure they're groomed and presentable" needed a term. A scary, scary term. I'll say no more about that.

And "grooming" was insufficient?

Someone was trying too hard to be clever. It wasn't me. (I try too hard to be clever other ways! See my entire Twitter feed!)

I could say more, but discretion being the better part of valor and all that, I won't. We need your head un-exploded.
