Very effective, and impressive.
Perhaps we should opne a H2G2 Sewer Monster circus? Think it would bring in crowds?

Good idea.
'TechnicolorYawn - Baby Dragon Tamer' - I like the sound of that. Has a certain ring to it.

Indeed it does. 
And what would Hannah do, I wonder?
I'd naturally have to be the announcer, I think...

Yes the The Ringmaster. Or RingMistress. In fact that sounds rather too much like an S&M Dominatrix.

I thought we already were in a circus...
What's an S&M Dominantrix?
If you want me to I'll run the souvenir shop and play the clown(not on purpose, most of the time...).
I also have a pretty neat trick:
throw me at the ground and miss. It workes out about once in 10,000 tries. I can also saw up little monsters. Sometimes I can put them together again.

Sounds good to me - you're hired.
Now what does every good circus have that ours must have????

There's lots of sweetcorn floating about, (EWWwwwww) but I guess that's just in the nature of a sewer!
How's about hiring a fire-eater to french-kiss the dragons? 
Sewer Circus
Bluebottle Posted May 11, 2000
Popcorn is definately needed, but a fire-eater would be a good idea... French Kissing may be going a LITTLE too far, though, if we want children to watch. Afterall, you never know, they might get a little too carried away...

We definately need some music, don't we?
I'm sure we can get Paul McCartney

How appropriate!
(Considering the location, and his recent output...)

Ah hem?!?!? Do I detect someone disliking PM???
Come on - he's MUCH better than most other "singers" nowadays - he can actually, and does, sing. Not hit random notes on keyboards, hit a drum kit, and hope for the best by calling it "Techno".

I didn't want to start a fight!
Let's take me, I'll sing!
*starts singing, litlle baby dragon starts crying*

I think the poor thing's hungry and thirsty 
You better see if it likes drinking that toilet water of yours, see if that cheers him up...

If you knew what's in there...
the little baby will either get drunk or sick, I only tested it on cats and humans...

Cats or humans? Which got drunk, and which got sick?
Sewer Circus
Hannah (Adrasteia, not fully human yet, but almost) Posted May 12, 2000
well, my brother said he felt sick, and my cat behaved VERY strangely...

I'm not surprised!

When, though, does a cat NOT act strangely? They are just so unpredictable, that how do you know it had any affect?
Also, how did you get it to drink the water? Believe me, my cat Thomas won't drink anything we give him unless he's really desperate and sniffed it for half an hour.

Well, I put the Toilet Water on the kitchen table, and everytime she wanted to smell it and look what it is, I shouted at her.
Then I left the room and when I came back there was no Toilet Water left
She behaved like a dog afterwards.
