By a strange coincidence, "snotty gobbles" was one of my nicknames in high school.

My friend in Perth, a naturalist who often leads groups on informative walks in the wild, tells me that the label “snotty gobbles” drives five-year-old boys into hysterics.

Wait. Was it goblets or gobbles? I feel my entire destiny rides on this question.

Sorry, zuzu. My mistake - now corrected. “Gobbles” it is. However, “gobblets” has a lot of visual appeal.
I am currently suffering from a combination of failing vision and side effects of chemotherapy that give me an an attention span of about ten seconds and short-term memory loss. This is a painful condition for one who used to make his living correcting other people’s writing mistakes.

No worries! Sorry about the attention span and memory loss. Your limerick game is spot on, and your comments are always great.
Besides--I assume that the ruzuzu born into the timeline of snotty goblets and snooty relatives is probably off wasting precious resources on fancy automobiles and sparkly tiaras.
I'm glad to be here. I'm glad you're here, too.

Also, bilby, is “courier numbat” the same as a pneumatic tube?
