    Pizza has been obtained. Am about to get pissed as a newt. Why a newt? What is so pissed about a helpless, innocent amphibian? Would welcome some collective wisdom from the Hivemind.

      Because in Admiral Nelson’s time apparently the new ensigns were called “newts,” and being young it didn’t take them much to get riotously pissed.
