A colony of whatever they are

And in keeping with the elevated tone of that last post, here's a word from the ever-classy Senator Heffernan, a man with good sensible views on biodiversity: platypus schlatypus, kill them all!

If they finish the highway they'll be splatypuses.

Sen. Heffernan: Tooly McTool...
I seem to be using that word a lot lately...
Hard to avoid 'em...

I've seen the name construction around a lot, too. Tooly McTool sounds like the genuine Scottish article, the way they interchange given and clan names so much (I had a great-grandma called Marjorie McNaughton Keir) but I must give the prize to Bland Canyon's name for recently-ousted Australian Idol finalist Lisa Mitchell, the pretty 16-year-old with the little-girl voice, wistful delivery, non-hawt shoes and total inability to move around the stage: Shuffles McBalletflats.

Yes but they're GAY platypi; card carrying Green members & vegan with a fine collection of Birkenstocks. The Heffer will see them relocated to a squat in Glebe. Then Tarcutta can thrill to the roar of a truck infested dual carriage way.
