Is it cold in here?:
That makes sense. I might have believed Tom Lehrer but the phrasing isn't exactly like I'd expect from him.

DSL:
Strauss's "Thus Spake Zarathustra" but in disco (as used in a TV commercial for a local furniture store in the 1970s).
 --or --
"1812 Overture" with accordions instead of cannon (as actually performed by the Lawrence Welk orchestra, in purple and pink tuxedos).

Lupo:
Am I the only one, disgusted by the casual kicking of Pintsize? I mean, he is not physically sensitive to get hurt by that, but he must feel very unloved, even more after his kinda sad reasoning in the one before

Were it any other character, I'd agree, but this is Pintsize we're talking about. I'm not saying that Pintsize getting kicked or punched is right, but at his core Pintsize is a troll, but a cathartic troll. He gets a rise out of people, knowing that if they get angry/annoyed with him, they're focusing on him rather than their own (worse) problems. Yesterday, Claire was getting frustrated waiting for the results from her exams - today, she's wondering if she has sexy feet.

I don't like his methods, but there's no doubt that Pintsize fulfils his purpose as a companion AI, keeping an eye on the mental health of his companions.

Pintsize had an existential meltdown about Marten a ways back, but yes, this is the first time I remember Marten assaulting Pintsize.  When Bubbles and Pintsize first met, Bubbles left him disassembled.  Others have assaulted pintsize on sight (Sam for one, IIRC).  Faye and the freezer.  All of which suggest Pintsize has other issues besides being unloved...
