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".

Hm, I only signed up to provide lodging for a KV boarding squad.

But now that I think about it, the Narns use a 2-platoon TO,  so I
should be able to make everyone comfortable. I could squeeze in three....after
all, two's a company, three's a crowd.

Mildness is in the eye of the beholder.
