More about Sloshing Tiger, Swimming Dragon

As the inverse base/style image of the previous "Culture Shock," which depicts a Water Dragon who finds itself incorporatedin the body of a Chinese Lion, I very much wanted to name this image "Vulture Cock," mostly to emphasize the relationship of the two images through the rhyme, but also for the irrelevant but fun dual avian reference. (Confession: I have a thing for wings.} I've learned, however, that the Algorithmic Censors who patrol the Internet and dictate our vocabularies have dirty minds and are likely to banish the offending barnyard fowl, because "community standards," as defined by the censors, are threatened by words in general, and especially those with multiple meanings.

If you've read this far, don't be embarassed. Just think of it as a harmless verbal train wreck between the Paranoia Pullman and the OCD Express. No self-repecting censor will even notice it.
It would be fun to make a bet on that, though, if anyone wants to.
