Er… Just out of curiosity **BiblioCat** , what happens to the goat afterwards? Nevermind, I don’t think I want to know… **PussyCow** , injured elbow and a _dingo_? Ouch. My condolences. Incidentally, are you a friend of chocolate? I have this extra box of confectioneries and I don’t know what to do with it. Would you be willing to take it off my hands, as a favor? I really need to cut down on my sugar… **Blonde** , I am most pleased to make your acquaintance. :: bows and offers a rose to **Blonde** from the _other_ sleeve:: ---

We simply cut out its heart and eat it, still beating, right in front of the dying goat’s eyes. Nah, just kidding. We send it to New Jersey to work in the Public Works department. ---

Oh, **Nahuman**! _lasps hands together in glee_ You’re going to be a **fine** addition around here, I can tell that already. You should teach that trick to my missus, she could learn a thing or two. **Pussycow** , I’ll see your three-legged dingo and raise you a snooty three-toed sloth. ---

Hey, Nahuman seems like a pretty cool guy. I want to be involved too! Welcome, Nahuman. … Can I have a flower, too? I prefer carnations, they last so much longer. ---

Aw, shucks **Elenia28**. 🆒 :: tries to look cool, but begins to blush furiously under the sunglasses:: How could I refuse a lady’s request?
