>>>>>[ Now, I don't know as how y'all aught to be talking 'bout (them) in
such an...obvious...fashion. I hear they're always searching for mentions
of themselves...sorta like that guy, what was his name, Beebo? ]<<<<<
-- 24hrs (18:52:19/03-24-56)

>>>>>[ That was Kibo, or "The One Who Greps." I think he was
last heard
from back in the 1990's or thereabouts. ]<<<<<

>>>>>[ What's a grep, and what does it have to do with Dragons?
]<<<<<

>>>>>[ Damned if I know, and nothing. And, 24hrs, I don't know what
you're worried about -- it ain't as if they're going to frag with us,
right? I mean, what have WE done? ]<<<<<
-- Naardvark (19:00:26/03-24-56)

>>>>>[ "Grep" is an old term for "search," but I have
no idea where it
came from. The reason we're worried, Nardvark, is because some of us
(including me) have seen what happens when a Dr*g*n gets angry. It ain't
a pretty sight. ]<<<<<
-- Joe Netizen (19:02:15/03-24-56)

>>>>>[ What, you mean that Aussie run back in '53? Frag, Joe, you were
ten miles away in a concrete bunker when all that went down! ]<<<<<
-- Dearth Star (19:04:51/03-24-56)

>>>>>[ Star! You're back! Meetcha at the usual spot in fifteen, okay?
And, just for the record, I was watching those same security cameras I
was fooling for y'all, and when the big guy got fragged it was me who
gave the signal to pull out and SAVED your worthless hoops. ]<<<<<
-- Joe Netizen (19:06:43/03-24-56)

>>>>>[ Enough of the fragging high school reunion, got me? Let's get back
to the topic at hand: what have WE (the rest of us) done that would piss
off any Dragons? ]<<<<<
-- Naardvark (19:09:45/03-24-56)

*** Any of y'all are welcome to pick up from this point... -- J.D.

to one that you could smell its breath and see the twinkle in its eyes?
Trust me, it don't make no difference to them what you have done. All
they gotta do is think you've done something, and your geeked]<<<<<

mean, they've got lots of things going on in their lives - running the
corp, influencing the city council, whatever - so they're not going to
waste their time killing off a mundane unless the mundane has become an
annoyance. Keep in mind whenever dealing with these majestic forms that
they are not simply physically awe-inspiring; the real danger is that
they are also far, far more intelligent than we mere folk could ever
hope to be. ]<<<<<
