+++ Fforde News Fflash: Fforde, after giving a talk in Dayton, Ohio, was presented with a soft toy V1.2 Dodo by Magda, a Fforde Fforum Stalwart. Fforde was reputedly described as delighted by the gift, and has named the new addition to his office 'Alan'. (Reporter: 'Scoop' Slattersthwaite, Salford Daily Eyestrain) +++

Cool! I'm thrilled that he likes it!

That's my husband's name - I will never be able to look at him again in the same light! Mind you, he's old enough to remember Dodos........

ahahahah, can he stand on one leg? does he say Plock or ...... can't say but you'll know what I mean ;-)

He can stand on one leg for a very short period of time - as short as it takes to remove the sock from the foot that is not being stood on actually!

Of course, it's an even short period of time if he's imbibed that evening..........must check out the 'Plock' situation..................

One of my best friends is called Alan. And he lives in the Forest of Dean!

Shake those entroposcopes... ;-)

How far into the Forest of Dean can an Alan walk?

And I attended my high school senior prom with a boy named Alan.

Alan is my father-in-law's name!

I know of precisely one Alan, and I don't want to think of him. Strange how memory works, reallly...

It's true - I'm married to a Dodo! Last night I mentioned this 'thread' and said that all he had to do to prove it he is a dodo was to 'plock' - so he went 'plock'. More than once as well.

Now very worried.

ahahaha is he a Version 1.2 or does he have wings?
:-)

*for added comfort and security* ?

heehee took me a second to get that one!

PSD pays attention to adverts for sanitary towels. I'm worried....

I hate to break it to you, but I'll pay attention to naything that appears ripe for parody.....

I've got a Dodo that cooks! He's just made me a veggie omelette! Oh, I love Bank Holidays - late up, long bath and Dodo makes me breakie!

I'll rent him out if anyone's interested.............

What a splendid Dodo... he deserves a whole bag of marshmallows! :-)

Hmmmm....

I've just realized that Alan (the soft toy dodo, not Auntysassy's hubby) is likely now significantly better traveled than I am. He's presumably now traveled all over the US with Jasper, and then back to the UK, while I have never yet been to the West coast (although I'm planning to visit my brother in Seattle in August) or to Europe.

Not bad, considering he was "hatched" (well, sewn really) on April 13th, and is thus less than a month old. Apparently dodo chicks are precocious.
