Oh, Bother! Did you really HAVE to interrupt this riveting conversation between a gorn and what appears to be a vocal buzzard originating from Qu'onos about zingers and annuli with facts. Besides that, the world wants to know how the devil a gorn kisses his/its wife/mate/significant other!

Agreed - he was was just rude

P.S Vocal Buzzard originating from Qu'onos? Close, but no, its HMS Warspite originating from Devonport Dockyard.

Oh, my! I do apologize. I confused the avatars. Belatedly, I realize that it was the name DivePac. It reminded me of those infernal subsurface skulking machines I came to despise so much in my time in the fleet. Being an honorable surface combatant, (as in anything associated with the grand name Warspite must surely be), my contumely was misdirected by a visual lapse on my part. Besides that, I had only partaken of one cup of coffee this morning. Not quite awake, you know.

From the local news last night the body is actually in poor shape being aluminium, the sea water has played havoc with it. The boffins have decided the best way to remove the salt is to wash it in citric acid (lemon juice) and this they are going to do by placing it in a poly tent and spraying for a year.

I cringe every time I see that slang term "boffins". Can you tell everyone over there to stop it already?

Actually our equivalent ritual to your "necking" is when we suck each other's thumbs, or interior digit of our claws. It's really quite sweet to observe.

Our raspy tongues rubbing on those scales is quite noisy though.

It's not the kiss that matters it's what happens after. In Gorn society the female will attempt to eat the male, I, in my kindness was attempting to save all the readers of this horrifying fact. If you are in any doubt that I'm telling the truth have you ever seen a Gorn in real life. No, they are extinct and now you know why.

Sorry, Chris, we are not extinct. The reason you give is why many of us choose to reproduce asexually. If you see one of us sucking our own thumb, expect an outcome in about 90 days. Remember we lay eggs and have to sit on them for a while. I carry mine under my armpits, though.
