So I suggest sympathy for the monsters, and all your ears are pricking hopefully? ;^) :chuckle: @ ernyoka... Thanks for the conviviality! @ Lyrra... I can't find it, but years ago I started a poem about a wash & were wolf. You can guess at its state of wretched dreadfulness. Some things were not meant to be brought into the light. @ Dr Geep and PhilC and c1rcle... Other evil overlords have dungeons. I have a punitentiary. ;^) You will also find kennels of half-written doggerel behind the caterwauling, but the only capital punishment is atop the caterpillers. @ pdxjims... Historically accurate clothing is a perk for the minions. Real fabrics wear better and are time-tested. No face masks, though. The tailors will be busy. :) @ Kate... Speaking of evil, it's time we got our heads together. Plump baby barbecue with turnip sauce and brownie crumb crust? Carolly
