I prefer the Trumapiillar to its namesake.

Oh the indignity for that poor caterpillar to be named after the great orange turnip. It may look a little fubsy, but in a very appealing way, and surely must shimmer as it moves. I am glad to make its acquaintance.

So, I believe Saul Rubinek, an excellent actor, would be called Fubsy. That caterpillar is hilarious but, like Rump, I wouldn’t want to touch it.

Christine said...

hahaha at the link!

Andrew said...

Flab, fat, tubby...yes, they seem to add up to fubsy.
I can see why the caterpillar has that name.

Squiggles, whose birthday happens to be today, is fubsy unless I put him on a diet. And I have the photos to prove it, too!!

Still laughing over that caterpillar. That poor thing gets associated with one of the most evil men of this century.
