    The brain eating white moth of death, not the best sign.

    Moths are fragrantly fonted by Finn dirigibles who have an Infiniti for the night?

    …Mother told me to beware of men using moths as head decorations…

    …but, now that the new Superman, Jon Kent, went to AC/DC comics…

    …maybe all of those 50s inquest s were wrong…

    …and men in tights is more than just a Robin Hood comedy…

    ..maybe the Browns will go to the Super Bowl…

    …maybe-just-maybe- unicycle will get batteries…

    …and unicorns will get circumferenced…

    … while nothing will ever be as lame as the Cats movie…

    …there is hope that Dune will be good…

    …and that Only Murders In The Building will have a satisfying ending…

    Cecropia moths are the best head dress for those who want to be stylish and stalk in the evening darkness. But beware if they flutter around your nose….they’re searching for a man cave nostril to spin a cocoon for the spring. One never knows whose nose knows!

    I think we need to start a National Mothra Appreciation Day.

    They certainly had a lot of screen time in “The Magicians.”

    It’s not the moth whispering sweet nothings in your ear you have to worry about. Watch out for the nearly microscopic ones, least they mistake you for a nightshade leaf and lay their progeny, who will slurp your goo and leave their squiggly poop tunnels within you until you stumble into the camp fire, muttering “So Pretty, So Pretty…” or so the legend goes…

    “The Night Of The Living Moth” … would play well in the lights of Broadway …

    Look, friend, I’m as much of a Night Guy as you’re gonna find around here. Some even say I associate with the Children of the Night (what music they make!). So take my word for it: “is!” Is, is, is! “The mystique…Is rooted….”

    And I don’t need no stinkin’ moth to mark my nocturnal nature. —See you at 4:00 AM, if you can make it….
