Hey, Dire Wolf, of course I wouldn’t try to pretty you up (although losing the thread spit & having those bits of snausages in eating reach has to be a good thing!) - that’s why I promised not to. But my feet get a little cold sometimes, would you mind curling up on them & keeping them warm? I could scratch behind your ears & feed you snausages from the magic bag…

Oh, and Jester - the snow melted…

I’ve heard about your magical ass, Euty. A truly frightening tale (tail?).

::flops on floor::

Ah-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d, they r-r-really are c-c-c-cold! Quit walking in snow with p-p-paper bags for shoes!

::settling in::

There, starting to warm up now? I have a body temperature of 101 degrees, you know.

::falls asleep, starts dreaming of ballads for fierra and struuter::

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…

_And now, as promised, its…_

The Ballad of fierra  
-or-  
Idle Time Spent While The Company Network Is Down, AGAIN…  
fierra, her hair is so lustrous and red.  
3 spaniels has she, well cared for and fed  
(Except for poor Lucy, who must eat through a straw,  
Because after her surgery, her teeth are no more…)

fierra loves her dogs 'cause they brighten up her day,  
Unlike her stupid cat that pissed on her Duvet!  
As Straight Dopers go, fierra is a trip  
(But don’t ever give her coffee or she will take out her whip)

She’s the Goddess Of Chaos, and she helped kill a thread,  
Oh, and one other thing off the top of my head…  
She’ll shoot you a look so cold it’ll make you sneeze  
If you dare make her a sandwich that’s been ruined with cheese

😛

Oh, for the love of…you were supposed to keep the snow in the FREEZER! No wonder it melted, just carrying it around in your pocket like that. Man, it really WAS rare when you were growing up. Well, then, I guess I shall bestow upon you another gift: this magical snow-carrying case, which will keep it chilled in style, while being compact enough to carry with you wherever you go. And, more snow to fit in it. Enjoy!
