Meanwhile, in a tank somewhere

Newbie is not yet dead. They seem to be hanging out together, no casualties, but there's a lot of shoop-shoop-ba-oop sucking at the top of the tank. There's plenty of oxygen, there's been a water change and I don't see why there might be an ammonia spike, so I'm baffled. Maybe Newbie wants to be called Deadpool.

This sounds as stressful as introducing gerbils.

Bad as it is, it doesn't quite reach the levels of Gerbil internecine wrangles!
I ended up with 21 of those things. Do you ever play AD&D? Gerbils are lawful evil little b*stards all the way down the line.

Evil...and yet so adorable too.

What's AD&D?

It's Dungeons and Dragons, I should have just dropped the 'A' for 'Advanced. Habit.

The game has a series of alignments for your character to choose from:

All gerbils belong right there beside Darth.

Oh I thought you meant 'accidental death and dismemberment'. Yes I did play D&D a few times in the 1980s. Enough to understand the humour in the brilliant cartoon series 'Adventure Time'.

Oh, now don't you go tempting me!

Doesn't matter how sweet they look, they are evil! Evil I tell you!
