Look at this fucking thing, the sea is awful, drain it and concrete it over before these bastards evolve to grow legs and breathe oxygen.
The Tasselled Wobbegong is a master of disguise that can eat a fish almost as big as itself in one gulp. It's classified as a shark, but when it lays on the sea floor it looks like a harmless rug if you manage to see it. But with powerful jaws and sharp teeth they are no fish to mess with.

Today's teatime tunes: Carolyn was a fixture on the US folkie scene from the late 50s to mid 60s, at which point she kinda faded away, returning a few years later with a band and a new West Coast sound, best exemplified by this track from the first of their two lps.

Spin the Bottle
A full bottle of wine is placed in the center of the circle. One player spins, and whoever the wine bottle points to must drink more than two glasses without apologizing that wine makes them sleepy, and they have to be up early to shop for a new ottoman.

![Title panel:
The Art of Christmas Party Conversation - by ANGEL.
[Scene is a SILENT, STARRY HILLSIDE in Biblical times. Three shepherds are having a quiet chat as their sheep calmly chew the grass. This scene repeats unchanged apart from the gentle movements of the Shepherds chatting, for several panels. Then suddenly a MASSIVE, CHEESY, WHITE-TOOTHED ANGEL appears above them saying "HELLLOOOO"]
ANGEL:
HELLLOOOO
SHEPHERS:
ARGH
ANGEL [Talking 'to camera]:
Christmas is such a social time - here's some top tips for making sparkling conversation!
1.
Use body language to convey approachability.
[The giant angel, hovering in the air, cheerfully flaps his massive wings at the terrified shepherds]
FLAP FLAP FLAP
2.
Start with a gentle icebreaker to put people at ease
[The giant angel looms over the terrified shepherds bellowing]:
DO NOT BE AFRAAAAAID
3.
Avoid 'Angelsplaining': Always introduce topics of conversation by asking interested, open questions.
[The Angel shoves his massive, cheery face into the terrified Shepherds' personal space and bellows]:
SEEN ANY GOOD BABIES LATELY?
4.
If there's a lull in the conversation, try summoning the Company of the Heavenly Host.
[The bAngel summons thousands more angels, filling the sky with sublime, terrifying fire as they all sing]:
GLOOOOORY TO GOD
[The Heavenly Host all disappear. There is an awkward silent pause, the Shepherds now cowering on the floor, quietly weeping.]
ANGEL:
So do you like sheep?
SHEPHERDS:
*sob*

They aren't "patriots" they're a racist militia.
We have already seen vigilantes on the beaches of Dover, now we see them "hunting" people in towns. These are the people Starmer talks about "understanding the concerns of". Jfc, this is worrying on so many levels.
