WOULD YOU PREFER BITS OF METAL OR WOOD. WE COULD EVEN MANAGE BITS OF ANIMAL TISSUE.

JUST FOR YOU.

[otto_octavius]

How cooked are the bits of animal?

[harrymolarryflo]

[otto_octavius]

NO THANKS.

With a little perseverance you can get things done Without the blind adherence that has conquered some And nobody wants to know you now And nobody wants to show you how So if you're lost and on your own You can never surrender And if your path won't lead you home You can never surrender And when the night is cold and dark You can see, you can see light Cause no one can take away your right To fight and never surrender To never surrender

Oh man, I missed you and the kids! I'm glad you had an...interesting vacation.

[stars_fell]

It sounds like you didn't enjoy your vacation much?

[otto_octavius]

It... could have been worse.
