How painful would a marshmellow be? Unlike a bananana still in its skin with that hard crusty bit at the top

I was thinking more along the lines of not stopping with the application of pain until the recipient was soft and spongy, not unlike a marshmellow.

KoF, I like the way you think. You may come in useful yet.

Mwahahaha!

Useful? That word makes me nervous.

It's the word that people use when saying things like, 'hmm, I wonder if this food is poisonous. Hey, the cat will come in useful.'

Oops, didn't mean to scare you off so soon.

Erm, did I say that out loud?

I am in no way scared. Not at all.

But I CHOOSE to stay under this table.

Er.....right. I see. The appearance that you are shuddering in dread is merely coincidental then?

Hey! It's cold at the moment and I am shaking to keep warm. Purely a comfort thing.

Merely the far-away look I get when I daydream. And I find this spot under the table the perfect place for daydreaming.

Magda, I haven't threatened to eat a newbie in months. Then again, I do love fresh fish.

Maybe we can put the t-shirt and baseball cap on a chair as a decoy and run away?

in a rather fool hardy and precocious way, i stumble onto the scene and ask,

where can i sign up for my newbie t-shirt and cap!

going way way back, a dodo on a scooter is a perfectly logical thing, after all, pickers has no wings, how else is she to get about?

My Mildred (my dodo) says "Ploik! Plokc, Ploik!"

She's a little dyslexic, so don't mind her stange phrasings...

Oh dear, I don't think it's dyslexia, I fear she might have gotten the aformentioned banna favoured marshmallow where the feathers don't grow.

Yes, the high pitched screaming quality to that utterance does seem to suggest such an opinion.
