Rjaye, thanks! I haven't thought about this guy since I was a kid watching Hockey Night in Canada with my dad. Tell me what you think of the resemblance to our Chuckie.

ummmm, well...
no, not going there. just NOT going there.

Aawwwwwww......... that's not fun!!

Have a great day everyone!!

sorry, lauri. caffeine has not kicked in enough. surfed all the way up on the bus, with the burnt out old vets again. they're an interesting bunch, at 6:00am on clinic day. twisted sense of humor does not begin to describe it, when they actually do say something. which isn't often. but at least it wasn't "want the seat, bro?" today.

should we mess with the newbie, or let 'em build up a false sense of security for a while?

bless you. double, straight up, please.

Moping. I am a world champion moper. No, I am the world champion moper. My competitors call me El Mopissimo. They complain that my participation in competition is unfair, but I don't see it. What's wrong with them striving to come second?


My embroidery has been known to make grown men weep, and has been declared anathema by no fewer than 14 religions (a further 5 use it in the punishment of heretics and people who fidget during the sermon). Do not discuss it lightly.


The then chief of my clan, Donald McDunlop, decided in 1893 to go with the times and replace the leather belt of the ceremonial great kilt with an inner tube, patented by his second cousin. The transition from kilt to tutu in 1903 is shrouded in mystery. Some historians claim it was meant to be a tartan, and ended up pink on pink only because it was meant to be pale green on pink, but that Hamish McDunlop, Donald's successor, was colour blind. Others accuse him of having a sense of humour. The matter remains unresolved until the decryption of his cave paintings.

Meanwhile, the inner tube proved its worth. Put some good pressure on, and it will nicely belt the tutu in place, while also giving you a wonderfully slim waist. Of course, no one would see it under the inner tube, but just the knowledge of its slimness (or possibly slimity) raises your self esteem something wicked.

In the Clan, the volume of the inner tube has come to symbolize social rank. The high ranking members of the Family can't tie their shoes or even reach around the tube to answer a call of nature, not without deflation. Better remember to take a pump with you when you attend formal occasions, or face a choice between a sanitary accident or a terrible loss of both tutu and face.

I will not talk about the shoes. No one in their right mind would. There are things mortals are not meant to know.


Is that a trick question? I mean, the normal thing is to start with whatever gives the greater feeling of having the ground pulled from beneath their feet when the shoe drops. That usually means messing with them by giving them a false sense of security. Why don't you start? Pretend we're normal and safe. Really safe.

i'm not that good, gromit. you go first.
[it's a matter of time, after all.]

Easy. Normal brain. Like what I've got.


That's what makes us safe. Nothing to worry about. Perfectly secure. Look, this is even better than tinfoil:

Oh... someone really should give a guided tour. There's the ducks on the wall over there (well, the cardboard-backed photograph of a wall, anyway.)

Then there's the extensive underground cave system. (Who was it that didn't come back out of there, last time?)

The collection of suits of amour over there, and the armour over here.

The rotating restaurant is nice, but I'm sure we should have made it rotate about a vertical axis.

Then there are all the rides - not the least of which is the caramel and carpet one.

What about a jukebox?

But the axis is vertical. Sometimes. On the upswing.

...you rang?

...will this faun dance with fawns? Why, any animal as a matter of fact

Dang! Who moved the "Wet Floor. Caution!" sign?

A good system. The most hot air prevails.
I will have to mention this at my next clan's meeting.
(We've been using a similar system with only so-so results that involves rubber diapers - can't get through doors at most functions. On the plus side there is no need for chairs. Won't mention the drawbacks).
