Free the Oppressed (insert group here)!!! Oh, please.

Not to worry, mein Kamarad, for if I discover that my carp is becoming
suceptible to the effects of advanced age or continuous use, I shall
accordingly enlist the service of a herring...I believe the Knights Who
(so formerly) Say Ni! have one...

And a few sports stadiums full of participants inclined to partake in sharing
the Drain...

Besides, the most superlative example of precisely what onecan accomplish with
a willing Game Master would be Diamond Walker...and I am quite positive that no
one wishes that THAT should e'er happen again!

I shall go for Option Two, for 200, please, Alex.

An excellent defense (and as Mel the Cook stated--ne'er mind). Although such
circumstances, as I continue to iterate, do not apply in the contemporary
campaign. Ne'ertheless, Jayce was guitly of commiting and permiting some of
the most heinous screws I have e'er had the great misfortune to witness.

I am aware of your Screw Compendium for ShadowRun II (and Munchkins across the
land wait with baited breath for the second edition, I'm quite certain) and as
such, my heart and soul leap with joy due to the fact we have changed systems.

Further, the Dark High Lord has also invalidated more than one screw of
yours...

Perhaps we can all extract wisdom from that...cogitate briefly upon the
marketing possibilities...mattresses constructed from textbook leaves (pages),
learn MORE by sleeping MORE...
