OK, the goat situation is a bit precarious, as we are in the middle of inventory, and I don’t want to have to start all over from the beginning, but I do have this goat named Webster who is on loan from Nexia Biotechnologies. He is a perfectly ordinary goat, apart from the fact that he carries a gene that is supposed to enable his female progeny to excrete spider web protein in their milk. Webster represents what Costas Karatzas, Nexia’s Vice President of Research and Development, once called a “breakthrough in goat nuclear transfer technology”. Enjoy. ---

I’m looking for something in a nice Greatest American Hero, or I’d even settle for Bosom Buddies. 😉 Hmm … would you be interested in a nice _Family Ties_? Or how about a _Growing Pains_? The Sitcom Duet is frightfully underrated, and I think you’ll find that its flavor is busy, but not precocious or overly fruity. Well, okay, maybe the _Growing Pains_ is a _bit_ fruity … ---

They call me Professor X 4. my skin tone: a. light b. medium c. dark d. blue 5. my favorite brat feature is my: a. extra appendage b. ability to fly c. gills d. third eye You get the idea. Add anything specific to your persona and you don’t have to stick to the pre-selected answers. Colors would be appreciated. 😛 ---

Your task will be to act as a strange, but loyal servant of **Ghanima** and she will use you to speak to other dopers so that if anything goes wrong you bear the wrath and **Ghanima** comes out smelling of roses. You are also in charge of making Cocoa. **harmless** , good of you to arrive. You are the most senior gal of the pack. Therefore you must not only help organise meetings but also you must keep those brutish, dumbwitted men from ruining the pack. Of course I don’t mean myself for I am the Perfect Leader[sup]TM[/SUP] Yes…I mean **Hal**. **kittenlm** may still reply but until then it’s up to you.
