I can't believe I've missed this so far! FUNtastic! "Meat Loaf" is virtually Pip's middle name around here. There was a funny little book, I can't remember anything about it except that it began with the definition "CAT: a h--- of a nice animal strongly resembling a meat loaf." Also, since the Abys consider themselves fully, perhaps super-, "human." they refer to us as "our bipeds."
