Erm...Paul, you shouldn't have given it away so soon (made my first posting before I really absorbed what you'd put in parens)!!!
Mr. C, you want *me* to go? Ok...
*sits on ground and, in an amazing feat not possible in RL because she has no flexibility, crosses her legs behind her head while still sitting up, and lets her arms rest happily on the gound*
Please guess correctly before I get stuck like this!!!

A Christmas wreath?
A masochist who wants to pay big bucks to a chiropodist/
osteopath for therapy?
A clever new method for losing weight? (How're you gonna
eat if your hands have to stay on the floor supporting your
balance, and you can't use your feet to feed yourself?)

In the belly of a whale (that's shooting through space and is about to go 
kersplat! on a planet) looking for a flowerpot in which to plant fluff?

Pothole?
I thought you only found those on dry land.
Does this mean there are potholes floating malevolently
here and there in the sea, ready to trip up any unsuspecting
ships that pass by?
And I don't understand your blueface reference at all.
I know people with purple hair, but few of them go that
one step further toward total epidermal colorization.
Say it ain't so, Pandora. (Or, at least, that it happened
on a TV show that I never watch)

So there are portholes AND potholes out there in the ocean?
Well, the sea is a bit of a mess today, now, isn't it? 
I can't throw you any lifesavers, because I ate the last roll.
There are donuts aplenty here, but they are bad for your arteries.....though,
now that I come to think of it, drowning would be even worse for your arteries.
Okay, I'll throw you the most buoyant donuts I have (gotta be the
Krispy Kremes), and hope they help.
Oh, the heck with it, a dangling participle as a rope.

Hope this helps.
You don't need to give money, Pandora. It just takes me a while
to find the rescue gear.....
Let's hope you don't have hypothermia, Pan.

::climbs up the side of the ship from under the keel:: Now how did I get there? Oh well.
::grabs Pandora and pulls her up with him::
::continues walking up the side of the ship, completely ignoring gravity and flings Pandora through a porthole and onto the couch::

Ok.... Since I was late with that post, I was helped while I was coming up the side of the ship.
::clambers in through the porthole and sits soggily on the sofa::
::sofa's slips covers turn soggy to match::

See, Pandora?
You've been rescued twice, by two different rescuers,
in two different (and not equally plausible) ways.
Is this a great country, or what?

Pandora...Born Again Tart Posted Nov 30, 2001
AHH!!!! HAAA! *throws herself into Paul H's arms & plants a big kiss right on his mouth 
* Thank you kind Sir....You know, now that you've saved my life...you must be responsible for me the rest of it. 
Just kidding!! Put that dagger away you ole' 
you! *pulls out her saber...polishes it & puts it back into it's half sheath* Paul H, whatever you need...I've got your back!
Now, if you'll pardon me...I need a change of clothes & an entire bottle of hair conditioner! Three weeks IN the Sea it much harsher than three weeks AT Sea!
*goes to memo board & posts: FROM THIS LAST DAY OF NOVEMBER I SHALL FIGHT ALL PAUL H'S BATTLES FOR HIM.

::Camera cuts away from him, to focus the occupants of the place, Camera cuts back to Joe and he's in dry and in fresh clothes, apparently without ever having gone anywhere or indeed changed position::
Could I get a 
around here?
