Interesting Wodehouse Quote

I recently was rer-reading a Blandings novel, and came across a passage which, when taken out of context, seems appropriate for "Toonbots" (and has a phrase which might be suitable for "Snail Dust" as well):

"Turning as purple as the stripe on his pyjamas, he gulped twice, blew at his moustache, allowed his eyes to protrude in the manner popularized by snails and in a voice of thunder uttered a single word. 'Trout!'"

from "A Pelican at Blandings" (1969), by P. G. Wodehouse

I might point out that over on Napoleon's board, Chris was inspired by this Wodehousian prose to reach breath taking heights.
