Interview with Raelian spokescreature Mush the Squid

I had a chance recently to catch up with Mush the Squid, featured here recently speaking for his cult, the Raelians. Mush, like many squid, is a multifaceted individual and has strong opinions on a variety of issues.

Pesky: Thank you for joining me today, Mush.
Mush: Thank you Pesky. You are mush_small (5k image) small, like a tiny pillow.
Pesky: I get that a lot. First question: does your organization feel that cloning humans is really ethical, given that cloning is a highly experimental science?
Mush: Yes, this is a large question.  I can see why the tiny pillow would ask. I would say, no.
Pesky: So you admit this practice is unethical?
Mush: We admit nothing. The tiny pillow assumes to much.
Pesky: But you said--
Mush: I am Dim Sum.
Pesky: You are Chinese a-la-carte dumplings?
Mush: I am sesame balls.
Pesky: I can see that. On to theology. Do Raelians believe in God?
Mush: We believe in science. And fajitas.
Pesky: Fajitas?
Mush: FAJITAS.
Pesky: Fair enough. What do Raelians think about the prospect of a worldwide ban on human cloning?
Mush: The tiny pillow disturbs us.
Pesky: All right, last question. What caused you to join the Raelian cult?
Mush: I like ABBA. I wish there to be many ABBAs. The Raelians promised me many, many ABBAs.  Still, I wait for the ABBAs. They say soon. I wish the ABBAs to be now. Do you know where the ABBAs are?
Pesky: Sadly, no.
Mush: I must now eat the tiny pillow.
Pesky: SECURITY!!
