Butch Vagabonds of Indecipherable Origin

They've built a new aquarium!
They have these things called eels–
they're like devils, but if they
were fish. Also not religious. 
Also they're quite cute. 
Hotdogs are proof God exists, 
and she was wrong
about judeo-christianity. I'd really
rather not eat a salad right now. 
Has anyone ever told you that
you look like if a spaceship 
was a flightless bird dressed
as an orangutan? No, I think
she was just a weird lesbian. 
You should name your plants. 
There

is a new aquarium opening 
in town! They’re creating
ideal conditions for sharks,
I hope they have loan sharks.
They're my favorite kind. I 
was voted most likely 
to cause a schism in third grade. 
I like those. Way more people 
end up in Hell. 
Oh wait, I went to the wrong year. 

They're opening a new 
aquarium in town! They're
going to have this species
of fish called divers! Just
think of the implications,
a fish that can speak to
humans. How are we 
going to ignore the ruins
of the ancient civilization
of hyper-intelligent octopodes
that we all know about but
aren't supposed to mention
under any circumstances?
To answer your questions 
preemptively: no, yes, yes, no
it hurt a lot, I did, you're never
going to be pretty enough
or short enough to be a 
loan shark. Or a gambler. 
Your teeth are way too sexy, anyways
plus you give you too easy.
Samsara is one hell of a drug, and
Buddha did at least have sex. I bet he would 
have loved weed, although
he must have been an awful hookup.
None of the classic dramatic attachments?
Hell, he probably just came, thanked,
and went. Should've stuck to Christ.

They're opening a new aquarium
in town! Did you know 
crabs are extinct now? We should
bring them back. Because I believe 
in you, I'm gonna butcher you and 
turn you into pubic lice.
