Consorting with the devilled details...

getting unionised might imply unwed are scabs...
Monogamine is easier to swallow than melamine...
getting coupled sounds like attraction engines...
layperson? is a bit flat......how about "meet my Amalgamate"?

I thought Sarah Jane Smith was just a recurring companion (and K-9 a robodog) not a relative
of either Cap'n Jack or the Doctor, are you are
thinking of Jack's daughter, Alice, last seen in
Children of Earth. -
Vulcanism is not necessarily illogical...
There is no implication that it's a volcano, which would after all be a fucking stupid place to build a massive mine complex, not least because there would be no jewels to be mined, and the chances of the entire thing flooding with hot magma would be off-putting.

and then solidify, admittedly Kimberlite and
Lamproite pipes don't create a massive mountain, but ya have to factor in that Hobbits are short so maybe it is all relative... -

The Flowers of Evil spring up freshly still...I like the end of that poem especially
...
And yet, among the beasts and creatures all—
Panther, snake, scorpion, jackal, ape, hound, hawk—
Monsters that crawl, and shriek, and grunt, and squawk,
In our vice-filled menagerie's caterwaul,One worse is there, fit to heap scorn upon—
More ugly, rank! Though noiseless, calm and still,
yet would he turn the earth to scraps and swill,
swallow it whole in one great, gaping yawn:Ennui! That monster frail!—With eye wherein
A chance tear gleams, he dreams of gibbets, while
Smoking his hookah, with a dainty smile. . .
—You know him, reader,—hypocrite,—my twin!One can see why he was the best man for French versions of de Quincey and Poe, et al...
