Maybe this is too many bizarre, non-current references for one post. Don't know if you are a Futurama fan, but I suddenly realized that the purple eater kind of looked like what would happen if you genetically spliced Leela and Nibbler together. (like in the Fly, when the scientist's DNA accidentally gets mixed up with the fly's.) Then you mentioned short shorts, and I thought, there is probably a picture of Leela in short shorts! And there was, with Nibbler! I hope it isn't inappropriate, though, since it's really more underwear than shorts. I'm new to this site, so I don't really know...and I'm a woman, so I'm definitely not being sexist! :)
