Rayetta's Butterflies - The Darn Checklist

Hmmm. I have this document all set up and I'm all the way through Systasea pulverulenta. That's the end of page four of the Travis County Butterfly Checklist, compiled by someone named Mike Quinn. I have omitted all the butterflies but those butterflies noted as specimen records. Nevertheless I have a very long list. And now I want to go shopping. Hmmm. It's all set up now. Any knucklehead could type in the rest of the names. Even Crumby could do the rest of them without getting so aggravated he might do payback if I make him finish it up.

We're ready Rayetta!

Hmmm. Hope and Olwen are ready to go shopping. Lomo, go get Crumby.

Lomo, go get Crumby?

Yes Lomo, go get Crumby. He's probably either fooling around in the laboratory or fooling around with his telescopery gear. When you find him, tell him to get in my office pronto. Hmmm. Also tell Crumby that if he gets in here pronto and does what I tell him to do, efficiently and without whining, that he will get a nice treat after I check over his effort and I see that he's accomplished his effort to my satisfaction. Do you understand all that, Lomo?

Lomo go get Crumby!

Lomo ambles off, his sensory apparati attuned to the potential location of the Crumby Ovate. Lomo has a search image.

Come on Rayetta!

Hold your horses. I need to give Crumby some instructions.

Ray-etta!

Stop that hollering. Here he is now. That's better. Hello Crumby. Thanks Lomo. Bye Lomo. Crumby finish this list up and I'll give you a nice treat you'll never forget, anon. I'm going shopping. If you get finished by the time I get back, you'll get your treat. Just do it exactly like I have been doing it. OK. Bye.

All righty then. I shall apply myself to this task efficaciously enough. What am I doing?

It's all right there, Crumby, finish typing that checklist. Do it just like I've been doing it. See, there's plenty of Rows already set up. Just type in the names. Leave the rest blank.

Ray-et-ta!

Jeez Louise! Gotta go Crumby. Remember, you get a special treat.

All righty then. Where'd you get all these interesting names from Rayetta?

Ray-et-ta, we're fixing to leave, you!

Gotta go Crumby. You'll figure it out. Bye.

Er. All righty then. Bye Rayetta. What do I get?

But the Lovely Druidess has sashayed on off with the other ladies and Crumby will have to finish the task before he finds out what his nice treat, is.
