Um… where am I? I don’t _remember_ much… [sub] but I had the strangest dreams, at least I think they were dreams… [/sub]

::suddenly looks around::

Uh, I got here late. Yeah that’s it.

::attempts to speak brightly, but just sounds brittle::

So…anyone need help tidying up?  
Urk.

Sure. I’ll pitch in.

I’m going to need some help emptying the Jell-O tub.

Can someone get Astroboy out of here? He’s looking really pathetic, with all the vomit in his hair.

What’s the best way to dispose of a bong?

Nice job, Ginger. We now have the walls fixed.

Just tie the bong to **Astroboy** and throw him in the back of the car. With a bucket.

Good thing this rubber room is easy to hose down.

No need to, it’s legal here. If you don’t know what to do with it, give it to **Hamlet** , I don’t know how, but he seems to have acquired a taste for it. 😃

BTW, does anybody have more duct tape ? I ran out of it while fixing the plumbing.

Sure, I’ll help with the jello tub. [sub]Jello tub? I don’t remember that at all. Unless I thought it was the swimming pool?[/sub]

Buckets. Plastic garbage bags. We’ll have to melt it and flush it.

Amateur! You don’t use Duct Tape on plumbing! You call the big burly plumber boy [sub]droooool[/sub].

And obviously you guys haven’t had much jell-o tub experience. Just throw **Astroboy** in the tub and turn on the shower to relatively hot. It’ll melt, he’ll smell _much_ better, and the car won’t be all skanky smelling after we drop him off on a dyke somewhere.

Down, girl, down 😃 [sub]and the second part of your post was **way** too easy ![/sub]

No, honest, I brought it into the house so it wouldn’t get, um, rained on. Yeah, that’s it. I mean, I can do a much better job of spit polishing it here in the bedro…inside.

What’s that? Why is there mustard on my back? Um, well, you see, it all started with the strawberry mead…and…

Calm down, **Astroboy**. It’s just Tygr. He’s straight. Unless you’re looking for - ?

**Tygr** , shut the hell up. You helped make the mess all over the rest of the place, you can bloody well help clean up. And stop touching **Astroboy** there! The party’s _over_.
