Bad news about our friend, go to her page to find out what. I would have e-mailed each of you individually, but my pst file has gone missing…even in my mourning, forces conspire against me. Try and be brave and carry on…Poofy would have wanted it that way. Don’t worry about me friends, somehow I know my heart will go on and on and on. ---

Are there no poofy clones? I can’t help but wonder about her future if she winds up at the Salzburg School for Wayward Boys. ---

Poofy clones? Poofy clones??? Poofy clones!!! I can’t even respond to that. Beatle, you’ve broken my heart, I hope you’re happy. And did you have to mention the Salzburg School for wayward boys…? :::runs out of the room sobbing horrific sobs::: ---

OMG! That’s such tragic news! I hope she found true love with whoever was tasteless enough to steal her! My 3 yo liked the wrapping paper. My 7 yo wants to know what the pig was for… ---

Nobody give out the link…I’m not sure if Poofy’s Daddy got my urgent message and I’d hate for him to find out this way. I had brief thoughts that perhaps he (Daddy o’ Poofy) was in on the conspiracy to keep Poofy from the rest of us, but I have since changed my mind. After all, he is a good and honorable man and would never, ever do anything to wound me so cruely. Sob…I must retreat to my bed now…this is all too much for me to take. Hang on Poofy, Poofy hang on! I don’t care what it takes, I’m going to find you and bring you home! ---

_… So you see, you’ve become a part of me A part that helps me to live and breathe Now you’re gone I need you more and more each day A selfish need that won’t go away …_ Please excuse me while I go rub some ashes in my hair and flagellate my back with bramble. **Aaaaarghhh!** ---

> [@](#): > > Please excuse me while I go rub some ashes in my hair and flagellate my back with bramble. I already tried that SG, and it didn’t ease the pain one bit. In fact it sort of amplified the physical parts, which were before quite minimal. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go make a pilgrimage on my knees to that one place, you know the one they walk to on their knees, on the off chance that will help bring Poofy home. ---

For those who have no clue what this thread is about, click [here](http://www.poofnspray.homestead.com). I am amazed, impressed, and disgusted at the same time. You people make me **proud**! 😉 I will pick Poofy up from the post office at the earliest convenience. I received a notification for a package last monday, I just thought nothing of it (I get packages all the time, usually CD’s and such). A full report with pictures will be posted. Meanwhile, I would like to thank tatertot, **Spiny Norman** , TwistofFate, SkinnyGuy, Globe-Trotter, Canadian Sue, evilbeth, Duke, London\_Calling, Trion, MisterTot, yojimbo, and all the signing Dopers for their (unknowing) kind attention. A pleasant, yet disturbing surprise 😃 [Edited by Coldfire on 12-10-2000 at 06:09 PM] ---

Yay! **Coldfire** and Poofy, together at last! Pictures! We want pictures! This could be the biggest SDMB get-together since **Montfort** and **Anniz**! ---

Sniffles…I still get to visit Poofy every now and again, don’t I? I miss that little squealer. And **PoofDaddy** , I don’t want to nitpick but you forgot to thank **Spiny Norman** , the man who gave birth to the whole idea! Heh, you should have seen his face in the sex shop asking if they had a Poofy still in it’s box. 😃 ---

With any luck, this will be the start of a new traditition for SDMB mods. Though I really don’t see HOW this can be improved. ---

yey! poofy found! it was an ordinary, honest tale…boy meets pig, boy loses pig, boy finds pig, but it was to set the whole world ablaze! I can see the money for the movie rights now - haven’t quite decided which actress should play poofy, although I hear babe may still be available… [sub]hey, Lynn, which animal did you want?[/sub] [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/attn-friends-of-poofy/44867.md?page=2)
