(Drum roll please)
It is my extreme pleasure and honor to announce that Smudgie, after putting up with our collective nonsense lo these many years, has consented to make it official, and serve us as a Circus Host!
Let the petal throwing and cheers commence!

I think the best response to honour Smudgie would be to say I'm offended!

In celebration, here's a new game.
Smudgie will need all those candy sticks to give her energy to Host. How many can we collect between us?

I doubt a penguin will want a heated pool, and I don't intend to cool my pitchfork.
Welcome Smudgie! A fine choice.

*Curtseys* - I live to serve
I think this is adminly revenge for ten years of word association and everlasting sentences - or possibly Kelly's revenge for me being so very easily offended ![[Biased]](wink.gif)
I won't tell you how brutal they were to me, a poor innocent and normal sized little penguin, until I finally broke down and agreed to do their every bidding. They even made me make the tea!
Seriously, thank you so much for all the welcomes. Chorister's shoes are indeed going to take some filling (once I've got all the fluff off the inside of them - plays havoc with the webbed feet!) - if I can do half as good a job as her, I'll be pleased.

Yep. That's exactly why they chose you, the same reason as they chose me. ![[Paranoid]](graemlins/paranoid.gif)
Don't forget - if life gets too hard, there is a secret ejector button in the toe of the left bright red shoe. All you have to do is count to three and give it a firm press. But it won't work if either of us tells anybod... Oh bummocks! Sorry, now you're stuck. ![[Hot and Hormonal]](icon_redface.gif)

Hey! HEY! HEY!
I'm not THAT bad! I mean, I didn't make Smudgie drink the Lapsang Souchong after all, and I did thank her for making it . . . okay, gave her an appreciative wave of the hand to dismiss . . . look, I wasn't that mean! And now you all think I'm singing something about Roxana and being Your Little Dog Too?
Fine, okay, it's a promotion from my usual place, I guess.
