Gnomon - time to move on Posted Apr 2, 2002
Sound of glass breaking as Whisky's bottle shatters on Gnomon's sharp point. Watch out everyone, there's an elf with attitude and she's armed with a broken bottle. Reek of alcohol as Whisky drains into the ground. Drunken worms surface and dance around the sundial.

Psst, Titania dear, I think you missed a 'with' out of your last posting...

Thanks for the point, Greebo. I can't find any milk, but you can help yourself to this cream while I eat the Strawberries.
