Sometimes I go by Tikkimouse.

Also Tikki is a shortening of my grandmother’s maiden name, Tikkenen, which is a form of tikka, a Finnish woodpecker.

Well, I am Paddington Bear, though I do think it a bit odd for a bear of such upstanding character to be put away in a cage. Perhaps a nice reclining chair and a jar of marmalade are in order? I could host a Q&A about Darkest Peru…

Are we going to have an exhibit to showcase all the girl/grrl/gurl dopers and all the boy/boi/man/guy (etc) dopers?

And if we can get away with locking those banned dopers in cages, I get we could get a LOT of money showcasing **Satan**!

Thank you very much **Desmostylus**! It makes my day to know that _someone_ understands my name 😛

This dolphin is always up for putting on a show for the visitors to the zoo 😉

I was hoping I hadn’t been forgotten.

::Waves at Peyote::

I even used to be Dogsbody, so I was still part of the zoo before my name change.
