Yeah, heh heh… through gritted teeth Thanks, Kythereia!
To the Storage Room!
How do we know it’s evil? It could just be misunderstood and hurtin’.
Hey, it’s possible…

Everyone… be alert.
Hey, it could be an engendered species!
I’m sorry, “endangered.”

Crud. Tentacles on one side, feathers on the other. It never ends.
Haha! Monster slayin’! My favoriye time of the week!
Yeah, well, keep that axe handy. Those tentacles are damn fast at times, and we still don’t know what that thing behind us can do.
[sub]I really wish I’d taken those swordsmanship lessons now… the last time I did this, I was able to distract the squid with a goat-smelly towel. [/sub]
:: picks up a big stick ::
Wait a minute! Whare’s the robo-goat, I have an idea. Let’s see how that squck like our initiation ritual!
Good idea. Unfortunately, the only one who can handle the RoboGoat is Hal Briston. And Hal has never let anyone else use his remote.
Damn! Well, I gues I’ll just have to do it the old fashioned way. This’ll be messy. Unless someone has found a 1920’s style deathray just lying around.
Is that what that was?

Ooops.
Good grief guys! I leave to take care of some business, and you find a giant squck! Younguns these days, can’t even take care of some Texas sized vermin. I don’t have a +3 Vorpal or a 1920’s style Death Ray, but I do have my West Texas Nucular Cattle (I mean squck) Prod. Everybody stand back, I’m goin’ in!!! Remember the Alamo!! (or somethin’ like that.
Hey! We found sneezy! 
Sorry about that hole in the wall. Was that your office? [sub]and sorry about the hole in the wall behind it, and the one in the wall behind that, and…[/sub]
Does this mean, that when I subscribe, I have to…? If I get attacked by a squck, is it allowable to sic a 28 lb cat on it?
Yes. Yes it is. WTCH OUT FOR THE TENTICLE!
MMEEEEEEEEERRRRRROW!
Poor Mr. Spock. I didn’t know uhuuuuuggl…
(sorry. I was off the net for a while. Ummm… no bad reason. Honest.)

What the fmeeep?!!!
No, it never does. Everybody sing now:
squids to the left of me
feathers to the right
here I am
duck in the middle with you,
yeah I’m duck in the middle with you. . .
Welcome, sneezy. After the initiation, it gets easier. I promise.
It does?
Oh! Oh yes, it does, yes it does.

Crud. Batteries must have died. And where am I going to get a ‘B’-size battery at this time of day?
And the squck is still coming in spite of the holes!
