John said: Ah. May I suggest my patented "12-step" recovery program for gaming fools: 1)Mild reproof. 2)Snarling 3)Dice tossing. 4)Smack to back of head with hand 5)Smack to back of head with rolled up rulebook. 6)Decapitation. 7-12) Under development [Tomb] I take it you'd skip step 1? (I'm wondering if Mild could describe any reproof I've ever seen you deliver....) [Tomb] And, yes, I'm waiting for you to make good on your suggestion that my continued jibes will necessitate your invasion of Canada. I'm waiting to see if your Engineering skills apply to Permafrost and Igloos!:) On another front: Chris: That comment about coherent light has forced me to recommend to the CO of the NBS that he'll have to expand well beyond squad size as your house needs a permanent presence of at least Company strength. The poor buggers will exhaust themselves trying to do your sense of humor "justice".
