       It's all the same, but Goo hilariously can't even tell the difference   
   between an inability to understand English, and an inability to experience   
   anticipation. LOL...and he considers himself some type of authority on   
   animal emotions even though he can't pick up on an obvious distinction   
   like that. Hilarious!!! That's why he's Goobernicus.
