[QUOTE=Mindfield]  
Do you think that’s wise? I don’t think there’s ever been a double-squidding. There could be danger involved, all those tentacles and stuff. There are whole volumes of hentai about it. It isn’t pretty. I’m thinking maybe the Great Lonk instead. If we can find him. And he’s sober.  
[/QUOTE]

Well, we can certainly use the well-equipped Great Lonk in place of the Big Goat. The double squidding would be very wise, I believe. Not only has it never been done before, but it’d be one helluva show for us well-established and beloved members.

Besides, if we use the Lonk more often, I think hentai might swing towards that shortly…

I still vote for the double-squidding and …stop thrashing in that burlap! You’re going to get some nasty burns!

…wait, where was I?

Tut Tut. Give the woman some breathing room. She _is_ Canadian, after all. 😉

If the goat and the squid both can fit in the burlap sack, we don’t need to make room in the back seat for the 1920’s style Death Ray.

That will leave the back seat for Mods, Admins, chocoholics, n’er-do-wells, socks, trolls, stalkers, gawkers, hawkers, mawkish talkers and boardwalkers.

Welcome, welcome, welcome.

One little hint? When sending the contractually obligatory box of chocolates to **TubaDiva** , make sure it’s a nice box of mixed nugats and nuts. None of that tart dark stuf for the Admins. It makes em cranky. 😃

Cartooniverse

p.s. Someone tell **Hal Briston** his sheep just got into it with the goat, ok?

I look forward to the burlap sacks, goats, squids, pies, bribes _(Hi mods and admins!)_ chocolates, and 1920’s death rays!

And when I saw “I look forward” I mean that in the same way that a politician says, “I look forward to working with the opposing party on this new legislation.”

Welcome, **Clockwork Jackal**!

We have a honoroary introductary buffet laid on in Room Seven–

:: the off-red phone rings ::

Just a moment please.

:: picks up phone ::

– Already sacked? Well, that didn’t take long. She was told that the membership fee was non-refundable, right?

– Eh?

– Oh, _that_ kind of sacked. That didn’t take long.

– _Both_ of them? Cripes. Isn’t that was plan 27B was for?

– Yes, I know we’ve never actually _used_ plan 27B before. But if we’ve been maintaining the wetsuits according to schedule, that won’t be a problem.

– Okay, then. 3PM.

:: hangs up phone ::

[/QUOTE]

Ah, tipping – another subject that’s guaranteed to send a discussion to the **Pit** if the thread starter doesn’t have the sense to place it in that forum right away.

Incidentally, **Jackal** (you know you’ve arrived when people begin shortening your username), you have [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=416253&highlight=clockwork+jackall) to thank for your inspiration – specifically, **Miller** ’s Post #27 riff off of the combination of **Autolycus** ’s thread-opening salvo and **Scissorjack** ’s Post #26 response to said OP. Now that you’ve ponied up the dough, the search feature is just one of the numerous perks available to you!
