Gargoyles are water features. So unless you want to be installed at the end of a gutter and vomit water, I recommend becoming a grotesque instead.

Ok, wow, this just made me realize that "gargle" and "gargoyle" share the same "mouth/throat water" origin. Mind blown.

And the Spanish word for throat is garganta

One of my favorite fun facts is that the proper name for a Gothic grotesque that is purely decorative is hunky punk

Oh, so Kirk was the new college gargoyle, not just grotesque. Now I get it!
