This is the text of a postie stuck to my computer screen when I got to work this morning.

Curiouser and curioser.

Either someone has a perverse sense of humour, or that's kind of creepy. I suspect the former.

Posted by mr_porteiro_head (Member # 4644) on :

I think it's both.

I like it, myself.

Actually, I had put in an order for a cage yesterday. So it's not creepy, really.

Posted by Teshi (Member # 5024) on :

You know the image I got was a butler announcing in a butler-accent, "Ma'am, your cage is here." and the Ma'am going outside to where a cage like that which belongs to the Child Catcher in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang waited to escort Ma'am to wherever she was going.

You totally refrained from mentioning that on purpose. [Big Grin]

You win.

Well I certainly got some looks while wheeling it through the office.

(Edit, to stan. To twinky, of course I did!)

What type of cage?

Posted by Stan the man (Member # 6249) on :

Who's going to be the prisoner? Are you going to tar and feather them?

Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :

Big. It's taller than me, about 4' wide and 2.5' deep. On wheels. Kinda old and beat up, and it squeaks something awful. Um, it's silver in color except the parts that are spray-painted blue, and it's made out of 1"x2" wire mesh, with wire thicker than a chain-link fence.

Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :

I have no plans to tar and feather anyone.

Although when people were looking at me funny, I stopped and said "We're putting a new program in place for people who don't meet their numbers..."

Posted by Stan the man (Member # 6249) on :

Motivation at its finest. [Big Grin]

Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :

I kinda thought so, stan.

I'd break down and give a straight answer now, but in comparison it's really boring. So I think I'll just leave for dinner instead.

Have fun speculating!

Cage for lion cubs that ElJay is giving to Bob and Dana as a wedding present.

I'm reminded of someone's signature in another forum:

"...work your opponent over like a school girl who wandered into a back-alley cage match."

In reference to being a ruthless player in Warmachine, a tabletop strategy game.
