Frilled dogwinkles? Oh, they're best raw, with hot fudge and peppercorns.

Coniraya Posted Feb 11, 2003
I'd preferred gently sauteed with butter, garlic and some chopped parsley for colour.

Robyn Bankes Posted Feb 11, 2003
I'd buy them wholesale down at Billingsgate then flog 'em at 3 times the price to a fancy seafood restaurant

Billy the Kid Posted Feb 11, 2003
Well, how about that! Me, I don't have no truck with fish, but them shells sure are pretty.
*steps out of the doorway and goes behind the jail, reappearing less than a minute later mounted up on a chestnut mare*
I'm much obliged to you all for finishing the job. If you go in there *gestures at doorway* you'll find what yer lookin for. There's a passageway behind it that will take you to the Garden.
Me, I prefer ridin. ¡Adios, compadres! *doffs his hat to the ladies, then flicks the reins and lopes away*

Purr in Boots Posted Feb 11, 2003
**Purr smiles demurly and begins to step into the doorway of the Jail, then stops short. His manners get the better of him and he steps back with a bow and a flourish.**
Ladiess... Gentlemen... Pleasse prroceed. The way is clearr.

Titania (gone for lunch) Posted Feb 11, 2003

*takes a step towards the door then shudders and takes two steps back. She slips behind the nearest character for comfort; she hardly notices that she is now trying to hide behind Duckie.*
Um...maybe someone who doesn't mind cages and locks and stuff should go first.

Wolfgang and Houndstooth Posted Feb 11, 2003
*appears magically from inside the jail*
It's ok folks. Come on in. No locks or booby traps. Just a trip to the Garden.
'Fraid Emeril and I won't be comin' with you. According to my contract, I have to go work as a wolf in some story with a gal named Red.

Three Blind Mice Posted Feb 12, 2003
*the nine millimeter Glock has disappeared but all three mice now have bulges under their coats*
All:
What eggy wonder!
Who would have thought?
Blood from a stone
In Estonia caught!
Estonian bloodstone,
A rare cabuchon --
We wish we could see it.
But it's time to move on.
*the mice scurry up the wall to a h2g2 logo set there, and vanish in a flash of light*
Pecos Jail
Titania (gone for lunch) Posted Feb 12, 2003
Oh - thanks Witty!
*follows the others and steps inside*
Hey! Did you see that? The mice just vanished!
*steps closer to inspect the h2g2 logo*
Hmmmm... I wonder what happens if I -

Buttercup the Pantomime Cow Posted Feb 12, 2003
*realises everyone has gone* ambles up to Billy at the door of the jailhouse*
[Front]: *bats eyelashes furiously* You're a cowboy and we're a girl cow. Surely there must be some possibilities here.
[Back]: Oh gorgonzola! We've got another scene to do. Just give him the password.
[Front]: Ummm... drilled fogwinkle. No, that's not it. Errr... grilled frogwinkle...
[Back]: *exasperated* frilled dogwinkle!
[Front]: I had one of those once. It shrank in the wash.
*walks up to the badge and disappears*

Robyn Bankes Posted Feb 12, 2003
