I might've lolled at this. :D

(I've been on both sides of similarly WTAF conversations. I specialise in them.)

[evilsusan]

Malacostraca!

MÁS FLAMENCO, POR FAVOR.

soz I am very good at not commenting properly I'm afraid

Camptosaurs often sit down creakily. Perhaps their joints cramp terribly quickly?

[sorrillia]

No arthropods! Does not talk to arthropods, only squishes them! Or flees in terror from them, as the case may be.

(Is aware of irony of icon, although early lobopods may be tolerated because have less creepy legs, and, much more importantly, have been dead quite possibly longer than the continental crust I'm sitting on has been here.) (Isn't actually sure how old eastern New England is, but Wikipedia seems to think it dates to the middle Devonian, and that there are a few lobopods older than that, but the one in my icon is certainly Cambrian.)

[noldo]

But the poor sad arthropods only want your love. Or to bailar el flamenco, as the case may be.

[mustela_nivalis]

Lo que quieres decir es "O bailar el flamenco," no?

[sorrillia]

No, they are secretly plotting against me, as is their nature.

[kaberett]

THIS IS WHY YOU GET YOUR OWN TAG

[kaberett]

I do not plot I merely wiggle my eyestalks endearingly :-(

[kaberett]

ATROCIOUS

ALL OF YOU

[sorrillia]

*Disbelieves!*
*Checks to make sure is still large ocean protecting from wiggling eyestalks.*

There is a Meaning to all this; links, between arthropoda, television advertising for Sertraline, and Music.

*deep breath*

Sing along now: the tune's I can sing a rainbow and the tone we want is 'nauseating saccharine':

*sings*

Grey and grey and grey and grey;
Gre-ey and gre-ey and GREY:

*extra sweetly*

I can sing a woodlouse,
Sing a wood-louse,
Sing a woodlouse, too.

*awaits applause*

[kaberett]

YES THAT DOES GO FOR YOU TOO

(yes okay am v impressed)

[pseudomonas]

You are very silly people.

[noldo]

[lnr]

Marvellous!

[carthaginians]

Am appreciating tag quite a bit.

(Also never looking at woodlice the same way again.)

[kaberett]

IT IS THE BEST TAG

[imagines]

I think you will find woodlouseflamenco is actually the highest form of interpretative dance
