Lovely! And I can now boast about being mentioned in relation to Fungoltch and Shcmurt - honestly, that's one of the great things I would really value in my life!

(7) uncircumcised by neck surgery - is this what he's trying to tell us?
Apparently. Actually, I assume this is some explanation or clarification of the snake-like appearance - effectively, any circumcision on such a body would be effectively a neck-surgery.

(9) so it seems Fungoltch learnt chat speak in his typing course at the National University of Singapore, right? I'd never have guessed that...
That is actually somewhat worrisome. Because - doesn't it imply the possibility that the language Fungoltch is using is actually a sort of chat slang, therefore making it even harder to undestand it, as the "proper fungoltchish" would be still somewhat different?
