We'd have to fix it up so that the needle in the syringe goes in-and-out, in-and-out, in-and-out...

I think we're talking major electronic refitting here. Maybe we could raid the "Be Fahim" thread and get a tekky to work on it. Do you think we should get some of those pretty Egyptian canopic jars to put the original Haggis innards in? You know, the heart, lungs -- that sort of messy stuff.

Er... let's not and say we did, okay? Or y'all could just slip them ol' innards over to Scotland and let them have 'em.

What if we just, ya know, have him turned inside out? Would the innards still be outards, or would they just be 'grossards'?

*Walks in carrying a suitcase which, if you were to listen closely, emits a faint beeping*
How we doing? *puts case down in the middle of the thread* Would you all mind stepping outside so I can kill this thread once and for all?

Throws herself (very carefully, since she's no dummy) on top of the beeping suitcase.
"Take my life," she cries, "But spare the life of the thread!"

Sheesh. A guy has a little computer trouble at home, can't get here to defend himself, and you people turn him into a stuffed pull toy. It's not right, I tell you. It's just not right.
