"Only half my fforum post got through, I'll post it again," said Tom resentfully.

"Hello? Is there <waits for tumbleweed to exit stage left> anybody there?"

That tumbleweed has been a staunch companion to many of us. Afternoons are generally quite quiet as we move out of time zone overlap with the weirdoes - I mean overseas participants.

Who's a weirdo?

<Fetches leash, as tumbleweed has had plenty of exercise running free>

<Tumbleweed makes dash for the door>

QED.

And don't ask me about Danny DeVito. He just pops in from time to time.

"Yes, I was adopted," said Tom transparently.

"I'd really like to be snow white" said Tom bashfully.

<Will add tumbleweed to Pantomime props list if nobody has any use for it any more>

"Stop marching!" Tom called haltingly.

Please, do take the tumbleweed. It keeps hiding in my hedgehog collection and makes me lose count.

Try counting the legs and divude by 4.

"Pardon me" Tom rasped.

"Hands up all of you who have never seen a three legged hedgehog" countered Tom.

I'm still trying to work out what mathematical operation "DIVUDE" is.
<decides it is like division with a built-in operation to allow for Stumpy>

Scrumpy is incompatible with division, so we'd best not go there.

"Both my oars have broken," said Tom robustly.

Is someone supplying my hedgehogs with cider? They're mostly under age, you know, and if the older ones find out they could become a bit prickly.

Well, you will just have to hedge your bets and make sure none of them get any. I heard that once they get the taste of it, they pig out a bit.
