      Tail tips?

      Either that or Dr. Lee could whip up some robo-arms control by a cerebral halo.

      They’re not choosy. Any booger will do.

    I have five pet corn snakes, and I can tell y’all that when they sneeze, it sounds like balloon-animal squeaky noises. And they VERY definitely get snotty noses; just had to give one of mine nosedrops for a cold (she hated the nose drops in a die-in-a-fire kind of way.)

      So, “snake snot” is actually a thing?

      Are corn snakes the ones with six nostrils?

        You’re thinking of pit vipers. And those aren’t actually nostrils, they’re an organ that allows them to “see” body heat by detecting infrared.

    And while we’re dealing with Chessie et al, I thought I’d mention they found the monster in Loch Ness… sorta. Check your news feed… May even be on the Rense site…

    “I smell boogers with my tongue” is up there with my favorite lines, ever!

    tune: “Camptown Races,” Stephen Foster, 1850

    I smell boogers with my tongue!
    Sniffle, sniffle
    Goldenrod is just no fun
    I’ve got an allergy

    Solidago keeps away
    Jersey Devils
    But it makes our nostrils spray
    Please help us, Dr. Lee

    Need albuterol
    And a hug, that’s all
    Then we’ll snuggle up safe and sound
    In our safehouse in Jer-zeeeee

    Wait, do snakes have sinuses?

      They’re often described as “sinuous”. That means “possesing sinuses”, right?

        No, but you can ask them to cosine for a loan.

    And I guess Chessie is also immune? Because nobody, organic or inorganic, wants to deal with seamonster boogers.

    Odd. Goldenrod is harmless for most people; it’s the evil ragweed that so often grows nearby and blooms at the same time that gets the blame. With the power of SCIENCE the difference is clear; under a microscope, goldenrod pollen looks like a Nerf product, while ragweed pollen looks like a Killotron accessory.

    I wonder if this is a plot hint that the Jersey Devil isn’t the REAL danger. (Dun dun dun….)

      As a general rule: Pretty flowers – insect pollinated and not a major allergen (unless you stick your nose in it. Dull or minimal flowers – wind pollinated and a major allergen.

    Goldenrod and cobras must get allergies from pollen dust.

    The Only Cure is Albuterol and Hugs, another good title for those old Andrews-McMeel style covers Jeff and Shannon did a while back.

    I find myself wondering if the Jersey Devil is anything like the Turret Monster?

      I can just see the adverts now: “G’day, mate! Come to friendly Down Under, where all the animals can kill you quickly, and probably will, but you’re safe from dangerous robots!”

      Strangely enough, despite being a product of mad science myself, I agree–we really should ban killer robots now while we still can! (The fact that I’m not sure how much of my DNA is h. sapiens and how much is felis felis, and therefore don’t know if I count as “human” to a killer robot has nothing to do with this at all, nyao!)

        Felis felis has never been the right designation for a domestic feline. Used to be Felis domesticus and F. catus at various times, but now it is common to consider the housecat as a subspecies of F. silvestris (although Wikipedia has gone back to F. catus, so how common that still is is in question).

    Dr. Lee is now covered with sneezing, hayfeverish cobras.

    They need antihistimines, she will need antivenin by the quart.
