Happy New Year Greebs!
Good Christmas?

*Takes brandy that had been proffered some time ago.*

Here's to 2001 At least there's no argument about being in the new millenium now.

*trades in her eggnog for a *

Cheers on that, BB!

Happy New Year to one and all! May your resolutions last as long as you want them to.

/* Offers a box of tissues to Gwennie and Coelacanth */

Did you get something in your eyes?

/* Meanwhile Zeppo's antlers belatedly give off a shower of sparks to ring in the new year, sending a terrified puppy running around the room, knocking into furniture, revelers, and nearly setting the Chrimbo tree on fire before the fizz out and fall to the ground in a pile of ash. */

*Doesn't want to hurt Coely's feelings by telling her that all the men are hiding from her*

Thanks for the rap on the head Greebs! That seems to have cured that neck problem I've been suffering from over the past few days. Look...

*Grins and rotates her head 180 degrees*

Impressive, hey?

*Takes an offered tissue from d'Elaphant and blows her nose whilst kicking a pile of ash around with her foot*

It's a bit smoky in here, isn't it?

*sneezes*

Bless you!

/* Offers Menza a tissue */

Clean, I hope?

You hope!

~Greebo grabs the tissues and begins shredding it expertly... clouds of off white paper start billowing around the room... joining the ash on the floor in a carpet of white...~

Thanks for the confetti.

*picks up a handful and places it on Greeb's head*

A lovely virtual snowstorm, Greebo. Thank you.

G7

~Greebo grins with delight at everyone... wraps her tail firmly around Menza's neck and drags him over to the biggest pile of 'snow'~

Lets make a snowcat... ~looks around at everyone~... come on... help me... please... ~plaintive grin~

*strugles free of tail*

Right one snow cat it is then.

*picks up a large armfull of snow and covers Greebo completely with it*

Tada.

*Collects a large floppy hat and places it on Menza's snow cat and stands back*

Hmm We're missing something although I can't quite think what.

/* Positions two beneath the hat to make eyes. */

*places a hole underneath them to make a nose, and several more under that for a mouth*

~Hmmm... tis awful cold in here... brrrrr... me thinks me will get hypnothetmium... er... hypodoodadod... er... hippiebumcheeks... er.... you know.. that thing that you get when you get to c..cold ~

/* Pours some brandy in a glass of milk with a straw, places the straw directly into the mouth */
