Morbo lived a quiet life of contemplation and doodling-- until he became a Usual Suspect.

Hey - thanks for making me expel some pent-up tidal air, Mr. Scopatz.

Flish missed his cue as the cheesy music swelled, and mistakenly pointed at Bob in the line-up.

Morbo delighted in making up plausible sounding phrases like 'tidal air' and seeing if Annie would take the meme-bait.

(Just kidding. I did read that phrase somewhere.)

Flish's moods ebbed and flowed with the complexity of his many-mooned home-world.

Bob's eccentric wardrobe was simply a by-product of his oddly creative mind and a rather unfortunate choice of bulb wattage.

Hannah's choice of clothing was either the result of an extremely skewed sense of fashion or a partial blindness.

Upon meeting Bob, Annie inquired as to whether he might be willing to part with a portion of his wardrobe, as she reckoned it might fetch a high price at her aniquities store.

As a last resort, Flish toyed with the idea of putting himself on consignment.

Bob had a gift, and he pulled it off the shelf every once in a while to admire the wrapping and gently tug at the ribbons before putting it back.

Abby didn't like to spend much time trying to match her clothes, which eventually resulted in a wardrobe of clothes that all matched each other and were all green.

On jungle missions, the crack-squad of wardrobe designers would ring Abby in a panic to match the clothes to the local greens.

When she really got going, Annie's charm sang like the rim of a crystal glass in the hands of a 15-year-old.

The only thing that distracted her 15yr old classmates more than the scratching noises beneath the floorboards was Annie's blinding crystal charm bracelet.

Annie kept a cryptic notebook titled "Questions to ask God when I get there" and scribbled in it furiously from time to time.

Flish's whimsical collection of loose-leaf "Questions to ask Dog when he comes back" bore the telltale pawprints of the pup in question.

Hmm... I worked on that line in my head all day today. I wanted to portray that she spoke with that assurance but didn't actually have it. That's one reason I left the grammatically incorrect use of they in there.. thought it would make it more distant. How can I tweak it to make it mean what I mean it to mean?

Annie spoke with all the self-assurance of someone who knew what the hell they were talking about; unfortunately, she normally didn't have a clue - she was just being mean.

No... doesn't quite have the punch that brevity gives it.

Bob starved to death young.

He was the type of guy that could love two women at one time, and date both of their sisters.
