Dearest smiley - dog, I have been prostrating (is that the right word, I wonder?) myself before the fair Pan for some time now. However, she seems to have lots of other smiley - fish to fry (an inexhaustible - ! - supply of young firemen, for one thing), and I always seem to get left in the 'this week's special, 40% off' bin! Ah, well..............I suppose that I'd better have another pint of Drambuie shandy smiley - ale

Does Pan throw it up? Does smiley - pirate scale it, like a mast, with the bauble clenched in his teeth?
