Is this a frog rind?

Yes. Someone has eaten the yummy parts, but this species of frog will regenerate them within 3 weeks. Quite clever.

Speaking of which, I notice that Walden is now the Chiffmaster
General. Did we vote you in, or is that an appointed office?

As I recall, it was a requested office.

I don't think it matters, I like him in that office.

It's kind of like being the Grand Marshal in a parade, or the honorary mayor of a town. You have no legal power to legislate, but if you're well connected it doesn't matter.

I think it was a political favor. Rumor has it that he contributed heavily to Dale's re-election campaign...

I think it's kind of like being a cabinet member. It's officially an appointed office, but I had to go through the process, which in my case did not involve any secret rituals.

I want to be the official "Paragon of Taste and Decadence"

BTW, that's a cute but tragic frog.

So if it were up to chiffers to assign a title to other chiffers what would you assign? I had some ideas but they were pretty lame.

Can my title be "Lover of Pies"?

Aw. No Cremation of Cares, or even Termination of Tippers?

I was going to vote you Lame Ideas Man, but I guess it's been done now.

Cranberry could be "Waiting for God d'oh"

I think that with a name like Flyingcursor that "Point Man" would be nice.
"Paragon of Taste and Decadence" would be nice though.

If I had to have a title, I would prefer to be Oxycoccus Emeritus.

But I don't use titles, so I don't want one.

P.S. Martin, I've PMed you.
