Oh, and as regards selchies...

They are HOT.

Actually, no, they are COLD. But cold is hot, in this context.

Or so the Eartly Nourice says, and she's really our only musical expert on the subject.   If selchies were not morbid & perverted fun ("the last lay..." etc), she certainly would not have stuck around by the sea long enough to have the kid. She would have hopped a fast curragheen for the Mane Land and taken coach for Edinbro Toon.

Frankly, I have always suspected Eartly Nourice's version of events to be a cover story for something else. But what?
