1. Ron Jeremy is furrier than most, but not nearly furry enough. Clearly, Papa Fuzzy needs to take acting lessons and play himself. (Note: Furriness quotient from Google Images. I’m not sure how to find an actual Ron Jeremy film.) (No, you don’t need to tell me.)

2. P.S. Kudos to Mary Robinette Kowal!

   “That rules out minerals,” I said. “Gold, diamonds, whatever. Our entertainments called ‘sci-fi’ that idiotically portray beings coming from planets that circle other suns, in order to obtain hydrocarbons, or atmosphere, or water.”
   The extraterrestrial emitted a recording of canned laughter from some TV sitcom whose broadcast they’d analyzed on the way into our Solar System.

It makes more sense,” I said, while two other members of my United Nations First Contact team nodded approval, “to trade in structured information, such as mathematical theorems, or cultural constructs such as paintings or literature.”
   “We analyzed that gold-plated record on your primitive Voyager spacecraft,” said the extraterrestrial. “Yes, we’d like more Chuck Berry. But that hardly justifies this expedition.”…

5. I see Papa as more of a Jeff Bridges or Nick Nolte type.
