These were answered a few months back, but I think before the last General purge. Use search over in the archives for "fluffy turtles" to get most of them.

Glad I could help. Even though I changed it yesterday from fluffy turtles to GIFTS.

Search hard enough and you might find a person we call TM. He can answer all your questions. Keep in mind though, he'll probably tell you much more than you ever wanted to know...

He's probably a lurker, Iffy. I know I didn't start my account for a few months until I was satisfied with the forums.

As for TM, he would certainly teach you a lesson that would whip you into shape. A lesson on what, and into what shape, I'll leave to you to find out.

One day, several years ago, I was in Florida on vacation, and I purchased the above depicted plush tortoise. I didn't have a name for him. I had one time previously enlisted Morgan, Saunders, Khoth, and one other person (Drakefyre? Alec? I forget) to help me come up with a name for a plush goldfish I had purchased (Morgan suggested "Lampost" which I went with after some argument about how to spell "lamp post"), so I asked them for help again, and they suggested various names. Morgan again suggested an excellent name, Inspector Peanut, but during the course of the chat there was much joking about Inspector Peanut not being a plush tortoise, but a fluffy turtle, despite my protests. Eventually Inspector Peanut's existence came up here on the message boards (maybe through one of my "Around the ______ in however long it takes" RPs but I'm not sure), and from there some mythology regarding the fluffy turtles developed, including that they live under the door to Spidweb and that they eat the sanity that is left at the door, as per the greeting.

EDIT: Also, you skipped number 2. You jumped from 1 to 3 on your list of questions.

Oh man. Morgan. There's a name I haven't seen in a long while (to my notice). It feels good to reminisce about earlier days, sometimes. It lets you see you actually have grown a little wiser since then. Morgan was (is too, most likely) a bright fella.

We never got along, though. :\
