Back where I come from, ooblick is a viscous slimy and totally
un-appealing blobulence which falls unwarranted from the heavens.
As this occurs, the following litany is often heard, muttered by ignorant
townsfolk in comic tones:
	(man 1) "Don't look like rain!"
	(man 2) "Don't look like snow!"
	(man 3) "Don't look like fog!"
	(unison) "That's all we know. We've just can't tell you anymore,
	we've never seen ooblick before!"

And for thore who remain skeptical, I have this passage immortalized
on an old Dr. Seuss record which I'd be willing to part with for
some ridiculously inflated price.
