But where do I pour the beer in.

Hang on...

~Greebo has an idea... rummages in her Garfield backpack and produces some modelling clay...~

Now all we need is someone whose good with there hands... ~grin~... me would try to make you a new body... but me all paws when it comes to this sort of thing... ~bigger grin~

Lessee...last term I had art; I got really good at making coil pots. Would some variation thereof be satisfactory?!?

*grin* Ooh, I'm good with my hands...

Hmmm... guess me asked for that one... ~Greebo shakes her head in dismay...~

*laughs* You have to watch what you say in my presence..

~Greebo frowns~... you have a pesence??? Where's mine... me wants a presence... nicely wrapped in gold foil paper please... ~hopeful grin~... me wouldn't mind it doughnut shaped....

Oh yours is definitely doughnut shaped and will silver paper do?

Why thankyou... ~Greebo excepts her presence with a happy grin~

*laughs* You are WEIRD..

Helloooooooooooo

Some of us are still bodyless here.

*Gwennie rapidly assembled a body from bits of modeling clay and presents it to Menza......*

It's a wee bit lumpy and bumpy and be careful with the head cos it may be likely to drop off - as are some of the other extremeties if you're not careful.... Oh, and there wasn't enough clay to make two legs, so you'll have to make do with the one. Is that okay?

*Stands back to admire work and thinks that she's outdone Damian Hurst/Hearse (!) or what ever he calls himself... *

~Greebo admires Gwennies artwork...~ Er... hmmm... that's quite nice... ~hesitant grin~

One leg, ONE LEG!?!?!?!?!?!

I'd stomp around the room throwing things and shouting, if I had legs or arms, or mouth.

*Gwennie produces a modelling scalpel and gets to work on Menza's new body with a look of absolute concentration....*

Well, if you kept still and stopped hopping around, it'd be easier, Menza! Oops! Now look what you've made me do - your mouth is on the back of your head...

*Finds an old broom handle and snaps it in half, sticks the two halves into Menza's torso and shoves a pair of rubber washing-up gloves onto the ends...*

They'll do as temporary arms but I wouldn't venture out on 5th November if I were you...

I also wouldn't want to go out in the rain, I might disolve.

Yeah, you'll just have to stand around until the clay hardens.. Not like you're going anywhere

Do I ever.

No, what we need to do is fire the clay...then it won't dissolve! On the other hand, you won't be able to move much either, but at least you'll have a body! *grins hopefully*

Would Greebo's oven be hot enough to fire the clay?

*Gives clay work of art a speculative look*

Of course, we'd have to take the arms out first - we wouldn't want them an t'gloves combusting (would we?)
