Hey..that made me think... you should have a title song for the Gridsec
enforcers... something like a Mob Squad track, or Shaft. Some old 70s
funk.. I'd prefer Isaac Hayes or Sly myself... Hell, maybe even become
the official ShadowRN GridSec Funk Patrol... groovy...

And y'all should really start growin' those 'fros... :)

Yeah, I can see it now. A group gets into a furious debate about
whether the woodchuck shaman can ground his carp spell through the
sustained carb barrier spell, or whether he'll have to ground it
through the quickened Increased Cybered Reflexes spell. One
particular newbie is furiously sending out flames near and far.
Suddenly, he pauses...what is that funky sound?

<insert GridSec theme>

A wiser RNer would flee, a truly wise RNer would know that even
Gurth's stairs aren't safe. But this is no experienced RNer. Not
yet.

Suddenly his email program blinks out, replaced by a huge THWAP!

<GridSec theme fades out>

> And y'all should really start growin' those 'fros... :)

(I have a mental image of all of Adam's hair pointing away from his
head. -Very- funny.)

No words to it, it's just some of the 70s groovy guitar you know and
love, with the cymbals and trumpets playing... you can throw in the
words "Themefrom SWAT!" in the main tune.

(sorry for the repeat)
I just remembered I have the theme from SWAT on CD(don't ask)- I'll
try and convert some of it to wav format and if someone wants to stick
it up on their page somewhere you can hear it.
Email me PRIVATELY if you wanna volunteer.

I think of a few of the rest of us could save ours up, as in the trimmings
from nearly everyday, and then when we get there, have them matted into a nice
tie on beard...

Intersting. 21 messages from shadowrn this morning, 8 of which were headed
with OT _and_ Gridsec. I kind of thought the point was to _stop_ useless
e-mail. Who knew?

Right about now, the phrase "chia head" comes to mind.

You look good now...but you could look better. You've tried all the
hair replacement products, but nothing seems to work. Well, now there's
a solution -- Chia Head. Scientists and gardners at the Chia Institute
in Chia, Wisconsin, have finally found the answer to male baldness.
Just apply the Chia Mud to your scalp. Then add the Chia seed. Sprinkle
with water, and get a good night's sleep. You'll see results immediately.
And with your new Chia Hair you'll attack the day with new confidence.
So if you have male pattern baldness, get the edge -- the Chia Edge.
