Go fly a Microlite!
Garius Lupus Posted May 9, 2000
Thought you'd never ask.
*Ties kite string to a big rock. Takes a plate and helps self to potatoe salad, more chicken, a selection of cheeses, a bunch of grapes and a serving of improbable lasagna. Takes a glass and fills it with some iced tea. Is about to dig in when notices a pile of perfectly normal beast sandwhiches. Takes one.*

*enters glade dragging saddle and bridle, out of breath*
Ho Ferrari, there you are. What made you run off?
*sees food, then notices researchers*
Hello everybody. Are those perfectly normal beast sandwiches?

Hello Lil, glad you could make it.
Yes they are Perfecty Normal Beast sandwiches.
I have a contact on Lamuella who ships the meat, preprocessed and vacuum packed, direct to me. Fresh as the day they were hunted down
Tuck in there is plenty for all.
*digs out more cheeses, pnb sandwiches and so on, passes the wine, tea and coffee around*

*gives small piece of leicestershire cheese to Ferrari who eats it with great enjoyment, making faces*
That's OK, Irv. As long as I don't have to carry the tack any further

*Ampton, who has taken Mindspring for a walk in the wood as Lil requested (back at the Atelier), comes into the clearing, assesses the situation, takes Mindspring out of its cage and attaches it to the offending tree*
*Mindspring hauls itself smoothly up to the tree, crawls along the branch to the kite and neatly bites through the string*
*Agony Aunt's kite drops to the ground*
*Mindspring looks around, meeps contentedly and dozes off*
Auntie A, have you met Ampton and Mindspring?

Auntie A, I believe that the correct thing to say when your kite lands in a tree is "Good Grief!"

Are you flying again, Ioreth?
Go fly a Microlite!
Babel17 Posted May 11, 2000
Methinks, mayhap, she meanteth the scenery?
Though verily, and by and by she may noteth!

*After finishing the last bit of potato salad on his plate, sighs contentedly and lies back in the grass. Soon soft snoring sounds are heard.*

*plugs ears and falls asleep, full*

*Lil and Ampton are trying to wake Mindspring up and get it down out of the tree*

Could you pick a sex? This "it" stuff is a tad demeaning... maybe we could get Mindspring to reveal his/her gender through scrabble tiles?

Babel17 Posted May 12, 2000
We might have quite some time to wait for an answer, though!

Irving Washington - Gone Writing Posted May 12, 2000
Maybe we could set up a scrabble game between Ook and Mindspring, and analyze Mindspring's choices?
