They do, yes. I’m just doing a variant of the “I’m no geologist but (says things that have nothing to do with geology)” meme 😁

Absolutely!

I’m no lepidopterist, but from context I’d guess that it is indeed Nero.

A much maligned Roman emperor, Nero supposedly (but almost certainly not actually) haughtily played some instrument or the other during the Great Fire of Rome.

Hence, “burning a CD-ROM” is easily associated with him even though the story is almost certainly not true and “ROM” (read only memory) was the suffix of the CDs that COULDN’T be burned 🤷

Yeah alright, that’s fair 😁

Which ones would that be?

I genuinely can’t think of anything I can drink with a straw that I wouldn’t rather drink without one 🤷

Edit: I sit corrected. Turns out there’s a LOT of beverages best enjoyed with a straw, but it just so happens that all of them are things that I very rarely if ever partake in, so they weren’t front of mind for me 🤷

You mean prehistoric mountain stream, right?

Nero Burning Rom was a popular program for burning CDs

But I’m looking at something else

Distraction Cabbage.

That’s honestly a dope ass-name for a horse IMO 😄

It’s pronounced like this

Giraffic Interchange Format made sense

In no world does that collection of words ring true, regardless of context.

you could depict things other than giraffes

But why would you?

I love the unofficial slogan “we are NOT affiliated with OSHA” 😄

Yeah, I love it 😄🥰

I’m used to it. It’s not without reason that I call her and her sister Charlotte The Fabulous Staredycat Sisters 😁

Yeah, never could get her sister to stop shredding it 😄

Close: it’s “human opening his post-workout can of tuna in 2” 😁

Given that

A ) The Mango Mussolini wasn’t anywhere near national political prominence (nor was trans rights) at the time the album was released, let alone recorded,

B ) None of the songs mention or even hint at anything to do with politics, and

C ) Emily is blissfully unaware of the existence of the Mango Mussolini, bigotry, fascism, or even politics in general

I’m about 800% certain that’s not it and you’re just an annoying troll trying to ruin everyone’s fun by bringing up completely irrelevant politics. Be better.

I don’t know about the RING of power, but excrement can clearly wield the offices of power 🤷

She does indeed 😁
