*Shuffles into November's thread on what could pass for a pair of feet unless closely inspected*
My feet "sort of" grew back but not quite in the way I would have wished for...
*Wiggles her fingers (the ones on the ends of her feet) through her hair (the hair now covering the lower part of her legs)*
Where's Pan when a girl needs her leg hair plaited?

......I think the next Halloween Party here will be Oct. 31st 2003...At least that's what the gypsy said....*tries to remember what happened at the party...*
...lessss see...the last thing I remember was...er...I recall...
sorta' FORCING Cary Grant to 'dip' me whilst we were dancing...
Nearly dropped me on my sit-down!...then...I remember everything was spinning...or...was that me spinning?...
An' I remember Cary Grant was...Ooooo...Oooo~~~~~
...*shakes Gwennie...*...what?...your feet! Hey
get a load of this!!! At the very end of my dance with Cary Grant...
he...he leaned into me......I waited my ENTIRE life for that moment!!...he leaned into me and just as our lips touched......I fainted. I either fainted or threw up. I really can't remember which way it went...but I choose to remember it as a 'faint'...instead of a barf....maybe a 'faint barf'...
Nope. I'm stickin' to the 'fainting' story.
...*goes out to inspect the November alley...and the new herbal remedy she's had on order since Summer...*

My mouth tastes like the inside of a sumo wrestler's jock-strap!
No, it's more like the armpit of a Turkish Taxi-driver's T-shirt!
I need some hair of the from last night - a of vodka and with a tot of bitters should do it...Oh no!

Pan, if the herbal remedy works, you'll need to share the formula.
Is there still a hole in the alley?

Hmmm... November thread, eh?..
In the UK, on November 5th. We have parties all over the country and you can see bonfires and everyone lets off fireworks and we all have a great time.
You know why?
'Cos November 5th is my Birthday!

Ooooo born the same day as the bloke what was murdoulized by the Brits...how lucky for you!
We have a bit of a custom here JAN...we usually celabrate things like birthdays for a week or so.Then it's back to the regular stuff...like celabrating not bieng run over by a garbage truck, Mondays, dentist appoinment...you know, now that I think about it, we're a pretty happy bunch here at The CP.
I think you new comers will appreapplike the fact that along with each new month, comes a new thread. No holes in the alley, goats on fire...everything brand spanking new. Everything, that is, but for The Blue Goo Couch' . I don't recall who gave me the couch...hope I haven't offened anyone......*makes a note to herself to stop speaking like Britisth people...always worried about offeneding someone...*Anyway... I was given a Blue Goo Couch. Lots of Hikers have slept on it over the years....
I usually decorate the new Pub...but with all you new suckers, er, ...arrivals...I think one of you might enjoy decorating the pub and alley. keep in mind...pa-leeze...the alley is for smoking...and ... well, you find out as we go...
...*lights LEGAL herbal remedy...sitting in the window ledge with a blanket around her...* ===~ ~~~

Hiya, Pan!
I have to admit I've never been run over by a garbage truck (or, if you wanted some British practise; a "dustcart" - also known as noisy creatures that wake me up twenty minutes before my alarm goes off on Tuesday mornings!) Although I have been run over by a few Mondays and once by a dentist in his flashy new Appointment convertible.
So where are the New Comers? When are they on stage? They're my favourite band...
*sings*
"I'd like to teach the world to sing... blah, blah. Doo-be-doo..."
Mind if I join you for a herbal alternative? They smell enticingly like pizza seasoning.

...call... busters!or was that a trick question?
...*passes pizza seasoning to JAN...*

...*tucks her bare feet into the blanket...*brrr...I think this months alley could use one of those round, off floor fireplaces...then we could sit around and burn marshmallows!
...POUFFWHOOOOSH...*a ring of stones
appears with a roaring fire in the middle...a cord of wood is neatly stacked against the Pub's back wall...there are blue goo bean bag chairs all around the fire pit...*Well, better than a sharp stick in the eye!...*opens the 'alley fridge'...it's stocked full of hard cider, ale, wine and hotdogs...long sharpened sticks lean against it's side...* Just like home!

*Hobbles out of the Ladies dressed as usual in her flower sprigged frock, cardigan and oversized trainers, leaning on her cane. She's rubbing her sitter where somebody bit her when she was in her costume.*
Ah! A new month. What a gift.
Gwennie, here is an ointment for your toes. Sorry that they curled away like that in the brew. I can't guarantee that they will come back as your own sweet pink tootsies, though. They might be webbed. Or not.
I'd like to dump the cauldron out and clean it, but the problem is that it's kind of toxic with that spell on it. If it goes down the drain we could potentially have the blood sucking undead coming up out of our loos.
*Goes to the jukebox and selects Waiting All My Life. Hums along, feeling a sudden whoosh. Buttons up her cardigan. She stands at the now cooled fireplace, looking down at the heavy cauldron.*
I guess I need to think this one over. This calls for a sherry. or two.

Gwennie Posted Nov 2, 2002
*Gratefully rubs Mari's ointment on her legs and feet and watches with relief as the hair and fingers melt into a relatively normal pair of feet and hair-free legs*
Thanks Mari! You're a real brick!
By the way Mari, there are a couple of ladies who say their names Sherry at the bar waiting for you...
*Makes herself a freshly brewed and holds the jug aloft*
Does anyone else have cobwebs that need clearing?

*carries in an assortment of wreaths, autumn leaves and dried flowers for the tables*
Whew! Swiping those decorations off of old ladies' porches is thirsty work. And I was chased by 3 dogs!

*pops back into the pub...*
Oh... it has turned cold outside hasnĀ“t it? I think this campfire is just the thing we need right now, Pan
*gets a nice piece of Schnitzel out of the fridge and starts grilling it over the fire*
Has anyone got some foilpotatos?
