Best solo syringing tips: wear clothes you don't mind getting filthy during it and put a towel over any carpet below. Neat that Mookie means Nosey! I used to have a sweat shirt saying "The Masked Mali" (Can't recall the spelling but a friend's mother who is Indian told me it meant gardener and I was in a small local group in that town which formed afterward, the Masked Malis, which planted and tended gardens secretly at night or in the early morning for folks who were ill, too poor, very old, or handcapped.) I was in decent shape then, can put on muscle well, and I am a large-boned individual, a bricklayer's grand-daughter, so when I was in the airport one day I wound up with a bunch of guys shouting up at me while I was on the escalator, "Wow! It's the Masked Mali! Way to wrestle, Mali!" and all sorts of ring-encouragement things till we finally reached the top and were out of their sight. I just smiled and waved. Steve and I still laugh about me being mistaken for a pro-wrestler once. Ever since then we've thought that between the gardening, wrestling, and mask the name Masked Mali would be a good one for a ferret; just haven't had a ferret who fit it, yet.
