Don’t worry. There’re a couple of emu farms in the Toronto area. I’ll make some arrangements.
[sub]I tell you: if civilisation ever collapses, the wildlife around here is going to get very interesting…[/sub]
Hmm, perhaps a bargain can be struck. If I produce a pie, can someone call off the giant squid?
I am not in charge of the squid, but if you bring pie and “Dark Chocolates” for a “certain Admin”, generally you just get to view the squid, and not be introduced to him.

so much to learn…
Her. The squid is a her.
Don’t ask me how I know this. :: shudder ::
Wait, does that mean she gets to be double-goated (not double goatsed)?
Welcome, Oni. Now where’s our pie, dammit?
As bad as Ms. Squid is, I fear the Cuttlefish more. You just know they are the spawn of Cthulu.
Tub of disgruntled cuttlefish it is! Room 18!
There’s no ladder. We’ll have to catapult her in from across the street.
Somehow I don’t think, “double your pleasure, double your fun…” is the right thing to be going through my mind at this moment.
Wait! Wait! Does this mean we’re not using the emu any more? After I got it all sedated and packed and everything?
I think **Ms. Pumpkin ** has avoided the emu, but Oni may yet have a feathery surprise waiting for her when she next appears.
Keep the emu on ice.
I just now looked up cuttlefish.

Welcome Oni no Maggie and Ms. Pumpkin. We’re awfully glad you decided to come out of lurkdom and join our motley crew. Say good bye to what little free time you had because we’re addictive…more taste, less filling…or something like that. Go forth and post.
Well, we DO have the pit of Extra Tickley Feathers already set up…we can incorporate that and the emu…
I like how this is all working out…
Oh stop it…there aren’t any large tentacles…you’ve just got…a…a lot of cuttlefish to swim around…with…
Wooooh! Emu? Awesome! Do they come saddled? Can I ride them around, and herd cattle with them?
The cuttlefishes…I fear the cuttlefishes. I can bribe with pie? I have many pies. Single or double crust???
Ah, well THAT’s more like it! 
Methinks we’ve got the rooms mixed up for the new gals. What about tickley cuttlefish that have saddles so you can ride them?
No? Hmph.
Oh good, I arrived just in time. I brought the feathers and the Icy-Hot lotion. Now, which way to the cuttlefish-felching Cthulu summoning initiation ceremony?
