"shh... careful... not only do the natives have a strange skin colour, but with twice the arms that one of us has, this one could be dangerous too..."

Spectrum Steve said...

"Yeah, I agree that is a cool Rocket ship but are you sure that red and white thing's an atomic disintegrator?"

philotoadia said...

Hmm, yes ... clearly the Hindu version of Father Christmas.

"Ssshhh, Gleep. Go wake dad and tell him a Tetramand in a red suit is steeling our pressies from the tree!"

philotoadia said...

"OK, he's gonna be busy-some there for a timespan .... let's hide those strange quadrupeds he uses to power-flight his ship!"

philotoadia said...

"ssshhhh, I tell you it's NOT Mom ..."

philotoadia said...

"OK, on the count of three .... one, two ..."

philotoadia said...

"Ssshhhh, don't tell him we don't got no chimney."

philotoadia said...

"I know, StrqqnxX, I know ... but I'm not going to tell him Christmas isn't until December ...."

philotoadia said...

"But Dad got so annoyed when we ate the last one who broke in ..."

philotoadia said...

"I didn't know Doctor Octopus made deliveries either ..."

philotoadia said...

"He's wearing red ... he must be one of us ..."

philotoadia said...

"Will you hush your mouth .... I tell you there ain't no Santa Claus."

philotoadia said...

"Sure he'll take us on as Elves .. and we'll get to live at the North Pole and everything ..."

philotoadia said...

"OK, it's agreed? On the count of three we open the cargo doors and see if it really does push the ship ...."

philotoadia said...

"Sigh ... he didn't leave the Moonbase toy this year either ..." (crys)

philotoadia said...

Crys? Sigh .. that was supposed to be "cries" of course.

Typonese is my second language. I'm almost fluent.

philotoadia said...

"Don't tell him, don't tell him. Let him think we have been good!"

philotoadia said...

"But how could he have got down the Influx-Pipe? He'd have got burnt on the Atomic Pile .."

"Aliens really do exist!!!!!"

philotoadia said...

"Sure, Mom says he comes every year and leaves toys for all girls, boys and geyms .... but that's not the real meaning of Pqebtygkls. It's all commercialised now."

philotoadia said...

"But I wanted a pony! ..."

philotoadia said...

"See .... I told you it wasn't mum and dad who put the presents there ..."

Andy B said...

Just can't compete with philotoadia's humour!

Andy B said...

"No, I don't understand what that strange bit on the left of the picture is supposed to be, either."

philotoadia said...

Hm, I was wondering that too ^_^
