It's the serendipitous realization that the fungus which is so effective at stopping the klatta is named with such onomatopoeia.

Dude the guy might come by and drop Webster's on your head. Reminds me of a college professor buddy of mine, always whipping out those $.50 words.

Now R Leo don't take this wrong and think I'm picking on you. Well that's not quite correct as I am picking on you. Just don't let it get to you, it is suppose to be funny, really it is. I know I have a sick sense of humor, but I have ocassions when I need to vent it on some unsuspecting soul as yourself.

Somehow, it sorta figures that a retired submariner would need to vent every now and then. Har, har.

Now something like that would be peachy coz, that would mean that the spore was (almost) no more.
