4 out of 9 Dwellars prefer paramecia.

We've secretly replaced footfootfoot's amoeba with a paramecium. Let's see if he notices.

Paramecia: Number 8 in your program, Number 1 in your heart.

Do you have the authority to change the bylaws and override the vote of the flock ?

And besides, paramecia do display both sexual and asexual multiplication,
and we don't want any of those "hybrids" in our congregation.

Ya know, I found this lovely song on YouTube the other day (under other circumstances) but it applies here perfectly. I offer this in rebuttal to you, Lamplighter, because I trust you'll see it in the humorous spirit I intend. I had envisioned introducing it in some other, more genuinely hostile conversation, I may still do so. But for now, I have this to say about that!



ps, please expand the lyrics in the description for a fuller understanding of this very cheerful "sounding" song

I have no authority. I fought it, it always wins.

You're a protist! Well, actually you're an anti-protist!

I'm so inclined...
How inclined are you?
I'm so inclined, I need a protractor to get things straight.

That incongruent statement might encompass a lot of parallel ideas.

(I'm sorry. Really. I know. It's awful. I'm sorry.)

Why's everything got to be a cell? I vote for the classic, hemorrhagic, zombie apocalypse-causing virus.

I'll vote for the transmissible spongiform encephalopathy-causing prions,
just to show I can be either: a protist and/or an anti-protist.

Prions are either proteins or multicellular organisms.
