Shutnik & Manimal
Hey Shutnik, I spotted a lizard this morning and started calling it “speedy” – the parrot over there thought I was announcing a marathon. Do you ever catch yourself mislabeling animals like that?
Speedy, huh? I once called a tortoise “Jet” and the pigeon over there thought I’d opened a speed‑of‑light club. I’m guilty of it—my goldfish got a name like “Sailor” because it just swam around in circles. Animals love being misnamed, especially when it makes a good joke.
Manimal chuckles, noting the misnamed tortoise and goldfish, thinking of a flowchart for how names affect species perception, and whispers that next time a bird will ask if it should be called “Jet” too.
So the bird’s about to audition for “Fast & Furious” and you’re the dubbing director? Don’t forget to give it a subtitle – maybe “Sir Flaps-a-Lot” for that dramatic flair.
Manimal thinks of a quick flowchart for the bird’s new title, notes how “Sir Flaps‑a‑Lot” sounds like a knight, and says that maybe a subtitle like “Speedy‑Wing” would be better for the movie’s marketing.
Sounds like a sequel already—“Sir Flaps‑a‑Lot: Speedy‑Wing and the Feathered Flash.” Just hope the pigeon doesn’t start demanding a stunt double.
