Hmm, I don't think my babel fish is working properly

mflsnixx...snuffle...snark...

zzzz....zzzz.....zzzzz

[ed. note: hung over dragons DO snore. you can tell they are recovering when that greenish-lavender tinge to their scales begins to fade. if they get in your way while 'recovering' the best thing to do is just detour around them and wear earplugs, or, hire several forklifts if it is absolutely necessary to move them]

Hey..Mr Dragon....I've brought you some nice Andrews Liver Salts...you do like liver I take it!!Then we can get this party back on track..I missed the fun the 1st time around...I hope that Garibaldi will let me stay

WAKEY,WAKEY....RISE AND SHINE!! COME ON MR DRAGON,TIME TO TAKE YOUR HEADACHE PILLS AND JOIN THE LAND OF THE LIVING!!!!

I have some Berocca for him. It's a fizzy 'pick me up'. It's full of vitamin B as well, so it helps replenish the vitamin B he lost due to the drink.

That is a very good idea GB..you don't want a dead dragon on your conscience

"Berocca helps relieve such sequelae of poisoning as alcoholic neuritis and assists in the recovery following intoxication by metals, poisonous mushrooms and organic solvents, etc."

AHA!! FIZZY LIFTING DRINK!!!!!!!

[dragon eyelids raise...paws reach out for large cauldron of Berocca...adds several packets of headache powders...lifts to snout...] *sniff, sniff* [opens jaws...tips cauldron pours contents into throat]

*GLUG, GLUG, GLUG, SLURP, SMACK!!!!!*

[rises in air to full height --top of small tree-- scales take on soft blue glow of dragon HEALTH!]

***BEEEEEEELLLLLLLCCCCCCHHHHHHHH!***

'Scuse me. [wipes mouth daintly]

Great Stuff, Garibaldi!!! And thanks for headache powders Shazz: I don't want a dead dragon on MY conscience either.

At last I get to see the dragon in all his splendour.What a beautiful sight I hope that he doesn't fly too far away though!

so Mr.Garibaldi, sir, if this party is going to continue, do you think we might start in another thread? sorta like moving down to a clean place at the Mad Tea Party????

Of course, if your cleaning lady hasnt been in recently, and you dont feel up to continuing before things are tidied up a bit, I will understand. I may have to go off and forage a bit, anyway. Seem to have developed a terrific appetite, sorta as if I had been dozing for a week or two. Fit as a fiddle, now tho.

Dragons feeding are not always a pretty sight, and I may have to take off for the wilds of the Yoop [upper penninsula of Michigan]. Nothing like the occasional moose...real stick-to-your-ribs food. And then a convenient pastry shop for a vat of chocolate eclairs, and I should be good as new. I will bring several dozen back with me to get the festivities started again.

There have been new threads for ages. We tried to get abducted by aliens, and then got stranded on an island. Now I have am starting an Airline, and the maiden voyage will happen soon. if you race over to http://www.h2g2.com/forumframe.cgi?forum=9231&thread=14692 you will find that passengers are now boarding.
