“There was a terribly ghastly silence.
There was a terribly ghastly noise.
There was a terribly ghastly silence.”

The demographics have changed a lot since I first started hanging with furries. Back then (the late 1990s) it was really rare to be a cetacean. It seems to have gotten more popular, so...

If you are, were, or knew anyone who is/was a cetacean (primary character) chime in with name/nickname in a comment. As many as you know and can remember.
