Huh. This isn’t where I thought it was gonna go. I thought they would take Nick’s wrongswearing as further proof of princess. As in “she’s so pure that even if she tried to swear, it would only come out as silly words.”
If I can cuss in the tounge of beasts,
What a verbal feast!
They are somehow sensing what I mean!
In spite of verbal substitution,
My circumlocution
Shows I’m not demure, it sure ain’t clean!
I’m not a princess, that is pure insanity!
And I will not give in without a fight!
When ev’ry bunny, donkey, pig, and manatee
Thinks it’s obscenity,
They’re right!
Now all the Whimsy creatures here
Step away in fear,
Showing how I might escape this trap!
If I can cuss in the tounge of beasts,
Fuss in the tongue of beasts,
Cause some repercussion among the beasts,
Then I’ll avoid this clap!
So now they’re probably going to need a Fairy Godmother to turn Nick into a princess. Guess who?
I would guess… not the one in the C-a-D ad to the right, even if she is going to be looking for work soon ^_^
But if Tip shows up, would he be the Fairy Godfather, or just another Princess?
I thought Tip was a Queen.
Tip as the Fairy Godfather…
He’s going to give you a makeover you can’t refuse?
Oh, hey, a kosher joke.

They may not know about the language filter, but I am sure Sweetheart could successfully spin it that way!
Wonder how the pig feels about bacon…
Not a terrific start for Princess… Nicole?
(They could handwave Nick’s name as being an abbreviation of her real name.)
i wonder how automatons will feel about hearing that their princess is also an automation?
Captain Decker: “Of course. We all create God in our own image.”
Well, given that they’re all automata…
That “It sure ain’t clean” face just cracks me up.
That pannel would be awesum on a T-shirt

… and I just now realized I misspelled “tongue”. arglebarglerackumfrackum (that sounds dirty too, doesn’t it?)
It’s those one of those rouge words that get away from us sometimes, right? 😉
Okay, Nick, now say “catfish.”
That’s right, Nick’s Jewish, isn’t he?
Apropos of nothing, every time I see Nick’s Airwolf t-shirt, the theme of the TV show echoes through my head…
I have to admit, swearing in the tongue of beasts is an awesome superpower.
Works better than just talking to them. Ask a drill sergeant which is more effective.
I like the business with the rabbit’s ears, which I didn’t even see on first reading.
Tonguing beasts is ALMOST a new level of vulgarity for Nick.
…what? No, you’re clearly misunderstanding me. No, YOUR mind is in the gutter!
