Default Mystery Dabbler

Firstly can I apologise for not supplying the dressing for this dabbler as I havent a pheckin clue what it is.

I went out a couple of nights ago for my usual "few drinks" with my buddies. I remember getting home about midnight and going on the forum for 20 minutes then going to bed. I awoke the next morning to find this cheeky wee number in the vice. I looks like something I might tie, but I seriously have no memory whatsoever of tying it.

One of four things has happened.
1. I had too many Vodkee & Cokes
2. I have developed the art of "Sleep Tying"
3. Mrs Orange has a secret fettish for tying dabblers that are better than mine
4. The fairies did it. (And I beleive in fairies by the way as I seen them one night on the way back from the pub)

Anyway I need help with a name. I was going to suggest V&C Dabbler as it was obviously the Vodkee & Coke that did it. Any suggestions.

Hi

The inebriated dabbler...the one too many dabbler...the intoxicator...the narcoleptic and finally the P&F dabbler (pxxxxd & forgetful). Then again it could just be called the wifes dabbler




Furthermore, i'm sure ppl are going to ask how? and what materials?. If this is the case just call it the FK dabbler (Fxxk knows!?!)

Mind you, 'The Mystery Dabbler' has a nice (fairy) ring to it.
