Well, as I suggested at the top of the thread, Linda might be persuaded to bring her red satin basque, fishnets etc. to Stony. I do own a riding crop (a relic of perfectly proper equine activities I'll have you know - although we've all comitted beastiality and necrophilia by flogging the odd dead horse). How big is the whip ? - does size matter ?. Perhaps a little "discipline" could help to "correct" Mudcat's financial problems.
