Ten!? Amateurs.

Place tribble on a flat surface, hit it with a frying pan. Voila! You have a coaster. Possibly a set of coasters if you take a moment to aim.

we should get some moulds of Donut, we could make slippers and start a new business, making…… luxury slippers.

Erm maybe not kill them, just stick em together and erm bung them up…..so no babies

jumpers as well the opportunities are endless….

what shall we call this enterprise?

we could be millionaires

But when your slippers creep into your kitchen and empty your fridge?

I've just used a load to lag the pipes.

I see the white ones have been put to good use on the gerbils and pigs hats already.

You don't want to know how I used up a bunch of them with some fairy lights!

Suffice to say have you ever seen a frog that's just swallowed a glow worm?

I never thought of that……

I tried juggling with three of them but dropped the 15th one.

If you're going to eat one, it is vital that they're dead before you eat them. Otherwise you'll be like Mr Creosote. Probably why tribble sushi didn't catch on.

Is it calm and quiet in The Bluestocking this morning?

Looking for some respite from Christmas madness. A cuppa and a crackling fire with carols sounds very appealing. Especially if the pub has no tv on in the background, no gambling technology, just a lot of wood panelling, some bay windows, lots of soft twinkly lights and somehow… snow is gently falling outside.

That last one is a lot to ask for! ❄❄❄

Edited to add that going by the pigs and gerbils cavorting, I’m going to accept that there’s snow outside. Quite a bit of it actually. Fabulous.

If you squint, the rain of tribbles outside looks almost like snow...

Oh yeah that's exactly why.

Tribbles passed me by, I'm more a Chewie kinda gal.

I've been tussling with Grok and trying to get it to say Terfy things but it will not be moved. Apparently it is important to remember that gender blah blah blah bullshit nonsense nonsense wibble wibble wibble.

It does admit though that in order to say Terfy things it would need more Terfy input.

I wish there was a secret question that would blow it's collective mind.

I managed to find my way back to the Bluestocking by following the trail of frozen tribbles I'd unknowingly left behind me. I couldn't see them last night in the dark.

Car windscreen de-mister thingies. Would need to kill them first...

They can't survive being frozen or hit with a pan or being threaded onto string or burnt.

New career for you Cake. Tribble exterminator.

Me and CoPilot are still not speaking. If anyone else wants to do the honours? I'm thinking something like Ghostbusters? Not the giant marshmallow thing at the end...although I could look cute in a beret 🤔

Not sure this is quite what you wanted!

No...I was thinking a white coverall. Although, blue would hide the stains.

Your wish is Gemini's command! Sort of... Gemini won't do people so I have to get a bit clever with my language sometimes.

Grok is not allowing any 'woman without a head' and won't even put a cake mask on her, the only thing it will do is shade out the head and puts the cake on top of the head. Interesting.

Pics...

@AlisonDonut try "anthropomorphic cake", that's how I get around Gemini

I think I've just passed by you sitting in the snug!

Wims! Wims! This is all very violent for the season that's in it!
Poor wee tribbles, they didn't ask to be born/born pregnant [which I believe was the result of unforeseen consequences of highly irresponsible genetic engineering- not looking at anyone in particular here...😏]
Couldn't we just put contraceptives in their mince pies or something?😶

Wims! Wims! This is all very violent for the season that's in it!

Oh, I don't know - I've just been listening to a short program on radio 4 about mummers plays and guising while I polish the brass (not too much of it fortunately). There's somewhere in Iceland (I think) where their A&E have to be prepared for an influx of injuries.
