Watched the new Pokemon episode, and realtalk Ash holding Beedrill like a baby is exactly how I would treat bug Pokemon half the time. (Context is Ash caught a Kakuna from falling, and it evolved while he was holding it. He was understandably Alarmed, but it's cool, nobody got stung.)

Me peeking inside a copy of Moby Dick

The sound of “whaling” coming through a bricked-up nook in the crypt?  Surely it was more of a “wailing,” though in all fairness Collinsport is a seafaring village.  From Dark Shadows episode 1150.
