Default Your first choice, non-humanoid travel companion - 08-13-2010, 11:04

So we've had this poll up for ages, choosing from Greebo, Gaspode, Death of Rats and The Luggage, as your first choice as a travel companion. Now, predictably, The Luggage has 3x more votes than the nearest rival. But come on, a travel companion? If you were going around the world would really you want an animate object as your only companion? Or even just a rat that says SQUEEK? Surely it would be better, if you were being sensible, to have something that speaks, so you can at least have a two way conversations, for the sake of your own sanity?

I have always had a soft spot for Gaspode, but if I knew the proper spell I can see some point in having Greebo along.

Cats don't travel well... If you took Greebo you'd spend the entire trip dealing with the results of all his shagging

There once was a man named Bruce
Who liked to sit on a spruce
He ate lots of chowder
And yelled at me louder:
"I'm talking to YOU, Mrs. Hughes!"
