And please say you still have that Tin Man costume? Or did you burst it apart when you got free, a bit like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon? Thank you for the mental pictures, even if you don't have any actual ones Legend Yes, I still have it. When I first came out of it (thanks to my father needing the funnel for some plumbery work) I thought of completely modifying it so I could get in and out more easily, but after I started to work on that I realized it would be so hard to do that I would have to get another solution. Happily, there was a big bucket of tractor oil in the garage. I discovered that if I totally smeared myself in that oil I could get in and out of it without it being much of a problem (except for a few twisted elbows), so that's what I did. Thanks to that I could play my role in the act, and people in the public were stunned at the fact that the Tin Man was so realistic even some oil was dripping from it's joints. Unluckily, given time (and kilograms) it wouldn't work either with tractor oil . But I still have it. May we borrow it for a caper in the Chronicles of Highness Lord Dame Jeff, Genius?

I must say, what was your father doing, thinking more about his plumbery work than your epic creation? It could have put an end to your creative urges for good.
And this tractor oil thing. How many other slippery substances did you try before that? Your poor audience could have ended up splattered with anything from fish oil to marmalade.
Anyway, if you still have it you must struggle back into it for the Halloween party.
Edit: Yes! It should definitely have a place in the awesome and completely true Chronicles!

Well, geniuses have been misunderstood since the beginning of the ages, you know... rough people like my father didn't have the sensitivity to perceive the brilliance of my artistic output. His biggest goal at that time seemed to be fixing the toilet bowl or some other mundane issue. And this tractor oil thing. How many other slippery substances did you try before that? Not many. I just tried with peanut butter and some placenta oil that my mother kept in her bedside table. Anyway, if you still have it you must struggle back into it for the Halloween party. It is more likely that a camel would go throught the eye of a needle than... how was it, Jim? And yes, BSJ, I may lend it to you. There's still some tractor oil in it from the good ol' times.

If he does allow this, the Tin Man is all yours to do as you please, unomusette!

Ahem, you asked for it, matey, besides I know for a fact that you are several sizes smaller than me.

Stop trying to hide under here with me, there's no room! Shoo!

Oh, the two-headed monster has started to work at full pace again!
No, Jabba the Hutt wouldn't be suitable for me, not because of it's width (I reckon it must be quite a comfortable costume) but because I have two legs and move from one place to the other walking, while that guys seems to crawl or drag himself, if he ever moves at all.
Although, now that I come to think about it, tractor oil could be the solution for that too!

Helmut, I think you should make a Jabba cozzie and we could all get under it. It would save hiring a hall for the party. Is there enough tractor oil for everyone?
BSJ - hush, it's nowhere near bedtime yet. I've only had one pint of beer for a start.

I guess so, but I'm sure we will end up fighting when trying to decide who goes to the head and who are the other guys that just go inside. Hey, given that by this point both of you seem to have finally acknwledge what a multifaceted artist I am, I want to dedicate a new work of mine to you both, Unomusette and BSJ. The way you seem to appear both at the same time, the level of understanding and the fights you have have inspired me to draw this: [img src=" i.minus.com/jnFdIajdu3WbV.jpg" alt="" style="max-width:100%;" src=""] What the hell, there seems to be no way to just upload an image and share it!

Don't worry, true masterpieces never come that easily. Could you borrow the sink plunger off your Dad? It might help squeeze the picture on. Anyway, BSJ and I don't fight. I'm in charge and BSJ knows it. Just going back to hide again for a bit, don't tell her you saw me. Edit: Just saw the pic, it's AMAZING!! And thank you for giving me the head with the prettiest face
