May I join? I applaud your cause, and I would like to point out I am a fully qualified battle Artichoke. 
. This may be useful, or may not. Don't know.

*bows* Why thank you 
I've never met a fully qualified artichoke before. Of couse you may join the hallows Thingite ranks. We enjoy awarding titalge here - the more extravagant the better. Please select a title. and I'll bang my gabble and make it official.

Mmmmm... not sure as to title. I was thinking of either Master-at-feet or small furry mascot - which one do you need more?

I think you'd have to take that one up with Sir Loin!
...but we've not got a mascot, alright we keep a small menagerie of 
s,s& a 
so I'll accept that or would you like time to cosider anything else?

Ooooh the choice! I think I'll stick with being the mascot after all, can you imagine an artichoke being an OFFICER? :/

Indulge my curiosity, but please before I bang the gabble, *what are you suited up as? A wolf (to symbolise our pack nature and predatory instinct?) An owl (to denote the sage wisdom of the Thingite cause)
or a Artichoke? I'm fascinated either way....

Mmmm... that's a hard one. But, having taken soundings of those around me at the moment, we have come to the conclusion that being a Sea Slug could be amusing, especially since then if danger threatens I can attach myself to a rock and eat my own brain.
The downside is, of course, that this is possibly not the most umm... evocative mascot for the aims of the organisation.
Alternatively, if it takes your fancy, I could dress myself up as a hooloovoo. Or of course an artichoke.
I would value your feedback on this .

Hi cheesestraws! Not to disparage your choice of Sea Slug, but I do warn you that there is a tremendous amount of 
and 
surrounding the Thingites ... it may not be the most healthy environment for a Sea Slug ...

Obviously gagging to get my tuppence worth ... could cheesestraws not be a Thinglet - a lesser spotted, tortoise-shell Thinglet with star and Great big long ears and an indistinct *yip* type call?
Just a thought ...
Also Thinglets aren'y adverse to the odd 
... in fact I've heard they positively thrive on a diet of s, , , 
and ... it could all be rumour mind you.

Artichoke will be just fine.

Thinking about it... should I fit wheels to myself? Artichokes aren't known for their mobility... or is there some kind of official chariot?
Ta,
