: sound of fingers running down Coldys front window : Ok, you really want to know where everything is in Coldy’s Apartment? Take it from one of the select group of people who has been there, Just me, Spiny, Fierra, Shayna and Hibernicus. If you open the back door he keeps all his Grolch in the containers on the Patio. heh heh heh. ---

Grolch is, well, I’m not sure you want to know. Oh well, if you insist… Grolch, while the exact ingredients are unknown, seems to be a mixture of Jell-O, sweat, and certain bodily fluids. Often found in Jell-O filled tubs. It is considered an aphrodisiac by some. ---

Unless, by “large” you meant “well-muscled” and by “sweaty” you meant “glistening with perspiration”. Which explains the first quote. No need for a sponge, **screech-owl** , there’s plenty “well-muscled and glistening in a Jello-filled hot tub” to go 'round. 😃 ---

_shudders_ The word Grolch reminds me WAY too much of something Gollum/Smeagol would say…and that is most definitely creepy. I think to get that picture out of my head I need some help. _coughs lightly and looks around the room_ _spies Tygr_ **Tygr!** I promise not to take a smoke break this time and get kidnapped. And now without further ado, shall we venture into the Jello Pit? ---

Certainly, just remember that clothing is optional. Besides, I figure the sight of you in your _au natural_ glory will wash poor Jester’s eyeballs clean. :: Takes **Searching For Truth** ’s hand and helps her into the Jello, where she settles prettily beside him. :: And even though you promised not to disappear, I think I’ll keep my hands on you for a while, just to make sure.

If we’re lucky, we can get this cleaned up before Coldy gets back and we can get off with just a 1-week suspension of postion privilges rather than out-and-out banning. But it would take a miracle… ::cell phone:: Hello? Bob Vila? Will you work for beer like my friends who usually help me with household projects? yes? Boy, have I got a job for you… ---
