It's my mud, I worked hard for it ?-), and I'm going to keep it.  (Rich will
just have to work hard for other mud. :-) ) 

You see, I just don't feel comfortable without my mud to sort of, well,
heighten the healthy color of my scales and to gloss over the scars of missing
scales.  If I don't wear it, all day long people ask me if I had a bad knight
or got run over by an automatic rice-picking machine on the way to work in the
morning.  No, no, I'm not insecure, I just get nervous when people notice me. 

Being a legendarily attractive creature, I am reminded of the defensive 
qualities of mud (pay no attention to that thrush!) in repelling men: who 
wants a mouthful of mud?!  However, there are trade-offs, because sometimes 
you don't want to be alone, and occasionally it does become annoying in 
social situations: the stuff will flake off and drop _everywhere_, and I 
think I don't get invited over as often because of the couch cleaning 
necessitated after I've been visiting (or maybe it has more to do with the 
repair bills since most furniture won't bear my weight).

My "good name"?!  Hrumph.  All I have to say to that is:

"Sssmile when you sssay that, ssssssstranger,"
