The Legend

But anyhoo, can you believe that the only reason the club is going under is because it's in a terrifying neighborhood? I know what an erection feels like, Michael. She keeps saying that God is going to show me a sign. The… something of my ways. The guy runs a prison, he can have any piece of ass he wants. Come on, this is a Bluth family celebration. It's no place for children.
Yes. Lindsay and I are planning a night of heterosexual intercourse. Heart attack never stopped old big bear! I may have committed some light treason. God knows they're squinters. What's up, fizz-ellas. No one was making fun of Andy Griffith. I can't emphasize that enough. It seems like only yesterday you were bursting forth from your mother's fertile womb

Physical Description

The kappa is child-like in both size and shape, yet imbued with incredible strength. In some accounts, it bears likeness to a monkey, but sometimes it is more turtle-like. Typically, it is depicted with a turtle beak and shell, slimy green skin and no fewer than three buttholes.
It also has a circular indentation on the top of its head in which it stores water. If the water is spilled, then the kappa is said to lose it’s super-strength.
